Hello everyone. I’m new to this forum....
I currently have 2 dragons. A male and female, aged 20months and 21 months.
My female is a citrus dragon. Male is a het zero.
Now I’ve put them together and they show all the signs of being interested to mate but when it comes to it- it don’t happen.
I know my male was used for breeding previously as he was the pet shops breeder in the past. As far as I know the girl had never laid eggs or been used for breeding(I’ve only had her a few months). I’ve tried separating them and reintroduced them. Any ideas? Do some dragons just not mate- is there worth trying a different male or female?
The viva are both very large so space isn’t an issue I don’t think.
now my next question is- I was going to try and breed these to get a feel for it but ultimately I’d love to breed a few zero dragons and from what I’ve read getting another het zero female is the most healthy way of this- is this correct?
just as a side note- I’m not doing this for the money, I’m aware of the huge costs involved but for my love of the dragons and because I think it’d be a nice experience.
Finally-are red or white basking lights better?
I had white and one of my vivs still has the white basking bulb but the reptile shop sold me a red one when my second viv needed replacing- I’m not sure it’s made a difference but would like opinions please.
Thank you in advance for any answers
