Most people wait to begin breeding until 18 months. This allows time for your Beardies to mature, as well as time for the female to put on weight.

there are alot of beardies out there as it is so it might be a good idea not to breed. Once she drops her first clutch she will drop at least 5 her first year. That is my experience.

Some BDs will lay multiple clutches, some dont. they can retain sperm for up to a year. so from one mating she can have a clutch of babies now and again in a year. Be prepared for a lot of expence like food, housing, electric and finding homes for them. It is not a get rich quick deal. the first clutches are always the most expensive.

I agree with beardiedragon. I have to get 6000 crickets a week to feed all my beardies. Plus I have all the veggiesw that they eat and lighting. My female has laid her 7th clutch.
