Bearded Dragons Laying Eggs

[BENZINOADVICE]

THE WORST ANGLE

[denisesdragons]

@BENZINOADVICE Gotta do the best you can with videos like these...I didn't want to disturb her in any way.

[BENZINOADVICE]

@denisesdragons oh true

[Legendation]

They look like tic tacs

[Funster791]

aww

[hhhelix]

totally awesome!

[speedy02]

Looks like its shitting eggs!..lol

[XxBeardedxDragon21xX]

my bearded dragon is going 2 lay eggs 4 the 1st time wat kind of brand of soil did u use for her to lay eggs

[Hotlips4000isback]

Well these eggs be eaten by another bearded Dragon?

[nightfoxx26]

@dennisj86 Yahh.. I realized what I was asking like the second I pressed post. I was just excited to think that maybe she could've had babies and I was tired from being on the comp all day but yahh. I feel silly asking those questions now.

[AJunboxings]

what bedding is that?

[nightfoxx26]

Ok. UMMMMM..... My beardie just layed eggs like 10 mins ago without sex? are they duds?? because I bought him/her when s/he was like 3 months old and s/he is now 2-3 yrs old and I still havent figured out if s/he is a s/he

[jter72]

ew that must hurt lol like 10 came out of that itch sorry im not calling ur lizard a bitch lol

[jtskaterboy]

Is her nose burnt or is it just me?

[StarrbuKk]

hey when is breeding season ?

[drcandland]

huh, iiiii liiiike it, eoweeeeeeeeew

[SceneQueen1199]

Wow.

[sizor3000]

how many eggs did she make?

[D7vmexaus]

correct and forgive me if im wrong but i thought it took 60 days for them to hatch..or is that how long the female stays pregnant..???

[denisesdragons]

It depends on incubation temperature. Mine hatch usually right around the 51 day mark give or take. I incubate at 83 degrees. The female is only gravid for three to four weeks before laying. They normally lay right around three clutches per season and will lay them every three to four weeks.

[D7vmexaus]

@denisesdragons aaaaah okay..

[cheriblosm7]

she is so beautiful! thanks for the video, i never saw a beardie lay eggs before.

[Demonkiller666x]

lol cute

[AvengedTimes]

aww dude gimme one

[CrazyRoyalPythonsA]

nice i hope they hatched.... hey buddy i subbed plz sub back

[Masterkoas]

looks like the b.g is haveing direha lol

[thezaylady]

That was so cool! The eggs look like beans. How many did she lay?

[gundamfan021]

"virmiculite" is that a type of soil, or some kind of spray?

[JeWithASniper]

cute little wiggle!!! :)

[Unicornio991]

After the female lays the eggs how mutch time should i wait until i put the eggs in the incubator?

[denisesdragons]

Well...you need a container with a lid, put small holes in the lid and around the sides near the top of the container. Fill the container with moistened virmiculite and place the eggs in there, spacing them apart just a bit to allow room for swelling. Place the lid on the container and incubate at 82 degrees. You will want to open the top of the container once a week to allow air in. They will hatch in about 49-55 days....Good luck!

[Unicornio991]

@denisesdragons thanks for the information but thats not what i asked. After the female lays the eggs on the earth she will burry them.

how mutch time should i let them burried on the earth before e put them in the incubator?

Can i remove them from the terrarium at any time after she finish burry them?

[denisesdragons]

immediately.... the longer you wait, the better the chances of turning the eggs and killing the embryo or them drying out.

[TheDragonslayerE]

@Unicornio991 no when she layed the eggs take her out of the terrarium ( wait till she buried them) en put her somewhere far away from her eggs ( then take them out en buried the hole (with no eggs) and so it looks like the eggs are still there. then put them in the incubator ( u have 24 hours to put them in the incubator)

[igorbearded]

check out my beardie

[Pingu65716]

lol, is just HILARIOUS when she squirms and wigglesz!

[twistedf3ar]

my bearded dragon is laying her eggs right now when will she be done

[spitfireMK22]

how long does it take for them to hatch after being layed?

[rallyman0044]

oh is that the lizards get so round or is it just because some are fat idk

[fishdude333]

hey mine laid yellow ones.....infertile?

[beckyosborne]

yeah probibly, get a flashlight and cover the light end with tinfoil. poke a hole with a pin so a small beam of light comes through and CAREFULLY place the egg on it, making sure not to turn it(if the egg gets turned the embryo will die) look at the egg and if there is a ring of red there good and continue to incubate

[JackWilsonVideos]

ya me too i thot he was a he but i guess he is a she? they looked like orange jelly beans and when i squeezed one orange liquid came out

[fishdude333]

same here?

[fishdude333]

oh wait......i just commented on my own comment......FAIL

[legoman4551]

hey thx for making this vid i wanted to see a bearded dragon laying eggs cause i missed my old lizard doing that

[TimJMorrison]

People commented on this video are talking about bearded dragons reproducing asexually...

THE END IS NIGH!

[denisesdragons]

I concur. What is it about reptiles that people think they are any different then us. Just about everything in life needs a mate to reproduce. Sure they can lay eggs without a male but they are most definitely infertile and will not hatch!

[denisesdragons]

The waiting is the hardest part...you will be so excited the day you go peek into the incubator and see babies running around. A clutch that size will all hatch out in about 3 to 6 days. Good Luck!

[beckyosborne]

DAYS?? wow i breed leopard geckos and it takes weeks for them to hatch, maybe a typo?

[denisesdragons]

No not a typo. but I guess I could have clarified. Once the clutch starts to hatch it usually takes about 3-6 days for all to emerge from the egg.

[beckyosborne]

AH, :) thanks

[jamesgerth]

how old do they have to be to lay eggs

[denisesdragons]

the best age is 1.5 to 2 years of age but if they are put with a male too early it is possible for them to be gravid as early as 8-10 months but you also stunt the female's growth and take a risk of her becoming egg bound and dying. It is worth the wait so you have a healthy mom and healthy babies

[scotchsappho]

well, i know that. but i read that sometimes females don't need males with these beardies

[scotchsappho]

how old is eh? i have my own dragon, I want to know if it can reproduce by itself(without male )

[ukily]

... It needs a male... to have sex with it. Do research.

[horrifictychi]

hi again I was wondering about how many eggs per clutch hatch

[horrifictychi]

just so u know I'm not doing anything until I have at least

1500 dallors or more redey before I do anything so I know I can get the thing she need and the eggs/babys need

[horrifictychi]

thanks but youtube is blocking almost all my comments so its not your fault

[horrifictychi]

why r my commets being blocked I don't cuss in them

[horrifictychi]

please help me I have beautiful bearded dragon named roxy and she won't eat her vegis plaese tell me how to get her to eat them I want to breed her so I want her to be healthy so she has healthy babys so please help me and if I do breed her.ill let you name some of the babys

[denisesdragons]

I am sorry if your comments are blocked, I thought that I had approved you as a poster on my channel. First off...breeding is a huge undertaking and is very expensive. You have to have an incubator, several setups and enough money to feed all the babies for a couple of months before they are ready for new homes. Please seriously consider all that goes along with it before you breed her. She will lay about 2-4 clutches on average and about 15-30 eggs per clutch. If it is done right, you have

[denisesdragons]

to find homes for all of them as well. As far as her not wanting greens, I suggest just giving her greens and no bugs for a few days and always give her the greens before you give her bugs, that should cure the not wanting vegies situation.

[littleitalianboy2]

i think female beardies lay eggs if there fertile or not she is not eating because she might need to lay unfertile eggs

[JoeCoasterz]

Tell Ruby Congratulations from JoeCoasterz!

[caboose4895]

im gonna name my beardie mr snuggles

[martydom88]

what type of diet are your large females on? i have a 1 year old male who wont eat vegetables as often as he should and im plannng on him getting very large

[jefferycat]

I have a beardie and I think its only 3-4months old. His name is Drake. I wish I knew if he was a boy or girl? But i got him on 8-13-09

[TheEpiph0neBassist]

check its ass..litterally..usually if theres 2 bumpish things its a boy..if one its a girl..(ass as in the beggining of the under tail)

[jessied81]

hey, my beardie's name is Drake too! He's gonna be a daddy in a couple of weeks!

[TylerMGibbs]

my beardie is yellow and pregnant too she is digging right now :)

[Cillianl0]

congratz i thought my old beardie was pregnant but she wasnt shes dead now=(

i got a new beardie tomorrow tomorrow is my old beardies birthday rip charley :(

[kathehsok]

how big is your female beardie in this vid

[denisesdragons]

She was about 450 grams and 18"

[kathehsok]

how did you get her to be that big

i need to make my beardie the right weight to mate

[denisesdragons]

LOL...it is just selective breeding and genetics. I have several large females. I purposely look for them because they are better breeders and lay eggs without complications. When purchasing my females I always ask about the parents and their sizes

[denisesdragons]

Also, as long as your female is 300 grams or better she should be able to breed just fine....just make sure she is at least 18 months of age

[kathehsok]

thanks for the advice

[denisesdragons]

No problem....anytime:-)

[paintballkid133]

my bearded dragon is 3 years old and she sits in the corner of the cage and digs is that normal?

[zx21300]

whaT SUBSTRTATE ARE YOU USING TO MAKE HER LAY THOSE EGGS IN

[denisesdragons]

I didn't make her lay them, she did that on her own. I use a large rubbermaid container filled half full of a mix of peat moss and sand dampened enough to form a ball in the hand. Once my females start digging in their cage I put them in to container so they can lay their eggs. It is a much more natural enviroment for them and reduces egg binding.

[martinkv81]

Wow! that is awsome! What a facinating hobby this must be! The eggs are tiny! Imagine how small the hatchlings must be :) Too bad that irrational fear makes this hobby illegal in Norway.. :( Hopefully that will soon change though!

[denisesdragons]

Yes, they are tiny! The babies hatch out at about 4-4.5 inches but grow very quickly. You have to tell me, what is the irrational fear there in Norway?

[martinkv81]

All herps are illegal to keep as pets in Norway, but nobody can give a good reason why it is illegal.. The previous minister of agriculture's main argument was: "they don't belong here!" That was his main argument for making people with a facination for herps, criminals.. :p what about parrots, hamsters +++ It doesn't make sense ;) But hopefully this will change soon ;) There is a possibility that 30 species of different herps may be legaliced during 2010!

[martinkv81]

A new law is coming, and so far it's looking good :)

It seems like finally the desition to legalise some species, or not, will be based on facts, and not irrational fear and silly "arguments" :)

[denisesdragons]

There was a simular bill that congress was trying to pass here a couple of months ago but alot of people rose up against it and let the state senators know that we were totally against it. Now they are trying to revise it to specific animals such as salcata torts and large bermese pythons. I do rescue work and took in a new salcata yesterday.....it is very sad that these creatures end up in so many rescues. That is more then likely the reason for your government not wanting to allow them.

[denisesdragons]

But at the same time, that takes away your choice to own them. Best of luck, I hope they get it passed for you guys. They are such joys to have. I also have iguanas and leopard geckos too...I really enjoy them all very much!

[martinkv81]

Thank you ;) I hope so too! Species like leopard geckos, bearded dragons, Python Regius and so on.. Those types of common herps may be legaliced soon. I don't see many problems with that. At least no problems unique too the herp-hobby! ;)

[martinkv81]

If that was the case, why haven't they just said so, I wonder..! The arguments we keep hearing are: "They don't belong here!" , "They can not cope with the Norwegian climate!" (???), and "we don't see what good would come from legalicing theese animals"..

All theese thin arguments. There will always be irresponsible pet owners, no mather what types of pets we keep. This is not unique to the herp-hobby. Why a total ban on herps, and no other animal group? People find them creepy. That's why ;)

[kyrajasmineanderson]

Guess what.

Our (ment to be male bearded dragonb) layed 18 blimin eggs However they were nternal whatever that is lol

Write back to me

[KieranHeartsSunnie]

Stick Insects CAN Reproduce Without A Male, The Female Will Just Pretty Much Copy Her Own DNA And Produce Offspring. I Go To University Studying Animals So I Think I Know.

I Breed Leos And I Have Had An Infertile Egg Which Has Hatched And There Was No Male. Explain That!

[denisesdragons]

Did I say anything about insects, no I didn't and I don't care about insects. I have been breeding for many years so I know first hand. If you had a supposed infertile egg hatch then that female had to have been with a male at some point. Reptiles don't lay hatchable infertile eggs, it is impossible. Just because you go to college doesn't mean you have all the answers. I also went to college. Ask your biology professor or a DNA specilist.

[KieranHeartsSunnie]

I Only Got The Male After The Infertile Egg Was Laid So He Couldn't Have Fertilised It!

I Said University, Not College. I Live In England And Uni Is Higher Education Compared To College.

[denisesdragons]

I have done a little research and found there are a couple of reptiles that can lay fertile eggs without a male around but leopard geckos are not one of them. The only thing I can think of is that she was mated before you ever got her. Leos can hold sperm just like beardies. It only takes one mating to produce several clutches of eggs. University and college are the same thing here in the states.

[KieranHeartsSunnie]

Na She Couldn't Have Because She Was Too Young For Mating At The Time I Got Her And She Wasn't In With A Male.

[denisesdragons]

done arguing....just research it. As far as it saying so in your leo book; 90% of all care books for reptiles on the market have incomplete and incorrect information. I have been a breeder for many years, I know my stuff! I am on the national breeders network, I work with iguanas as well and am a member of a rescue group for them. I do bearded dragon and leo rescue as well. Facts and experience out weigh what it says in any book.

[KieranHeartsSunnie]

I Wasn't Arguing Anymore I Was Just Saying. It Is Most Probably Wrong In The Book, I'm Just Saying What I Have Read.

[denisesdragons]

Also, I have had rescue females produce eggs at 22 grams and 3 months of age.

[KieranHeartsSunnie]

*A Fertile Clutch

[KieranHeartsSunnie]

Some Animals Can Have Babies Without A Male For Example A Stick Insect.

But Most Animals Cannot, Infertile Eggs Can Sometimes Still Hatch, I Have Leopard Gecko Books Saying Infertile Eggs Can Still Hatch.

Bearded Dragons Can Store Sperm So They Might Lay A Clutch Without A Male, But Only If A Female Has Been Removed From A Male And Has Moved Homes.

[denisesdragons]

you are absolutely wrong about a infertile clutch being able to hatch! Mammals cannot have babies and reptiles cannot have fertile eggs without a male. And infertile eggs cannot have babies in them. I also raise Leos and their eggs cannot hatch if they are infertile. Maybe you should take a biology class.

[demiandselenafan4]

push!!

[denisesdragons]

Think about how life works, you can't have babies if you don't have a male and a female, so no, the eggs aren't fertile without the male.

[wsp787]

so if they lay eggs without a male will there be babys in the eggs?

[pearceyman]

its a boy, girl, boy, girl, girl, girl, boy, boy, girl lmao

[daleheathcote1995]

hi do female bearded dragons lay eggs even if you havent got a male and are they fertile cheers

[denisesdragons]

yes, they can lay eggs without a male but they can't be fertile without a male to mate with.

[bderousse]

thats alot of eggs =s

[ReLiveTheRandom]

lol nice booty shake

[Thomasdercoole]

wow, fascinating to see this. really nice. Cute little eggs, love that.

[zm8y]

woo!!

[GaMeRxLoRd]

how did u incubate the egggs after cause my female is pregnant

[BeardedDragons1]

my big oone layed her eggs and when i was incubating them she was like biting my fingers and stuff like GET AWAY FROM MY EGGS it was funny

[tekkenhalo]

I know what I'm cooking for breakfast!

[Iamsuperpacoman]

I want to give my 11 month dragon a freind but is it a good idea a baby

[lizzardman6092]

ya i have a little one he is very small but 9 months old and i figured y but cool video

[lizzardman6092]

making this video of your bearded dragon having babys must have been exiting to watch right???

[denisesdragons]

oh! you mean exciting....okay...lol Yes, it is always amazing to watch them lay eggs and even more so when they hatch. I have raised hundreds of little ones and seen more then 50 lays and it never ceases to amaze me.

[lizzardman6092]

that must have been exiting for u right?

[denisesdragons]

huh?

[denisesdragons]

I have lots of babies if you are interested, this particular video is about three years old but it is still amazing. Just leave me your e-mail address and I will contact you with photos and stats.

[woodburningmaster]

hey can i buy one of the babies when they hatch?

[mattspot2]

Ha Ha looks like our Jedi laying her eggs man you have to check it out so you can see how close they look... LOL

[147Jesusfreak]

my dragon layed 52 eggs in less than a month!

[zecur]

yeah but did all the bearded dragons in the eggs live? :P

[SharpyDawg]

Would it matter if you left those eggs in your terrarium, or best to put them in a incubator?

[fweeforall]

incubator, just incase cuz when the babies hatch, mama will eat em

[scarred76]

how many eggs did she lay??????

[WertTWolf]

Aww...try to catch a video of when they hatch, too!
