Raising and caring for bearded dragons can be so much fun. But why not go a bit further? You can breed your dragons and get more eggs! More dragon eggs mean more dragons!

When your female dragons show the signs that she’s about to lay eggs, you may think that you’d want to make sure that those eggs hatch. One of the ways to ensure the future of the eggs is by incubating them.

The first thing you should do would be to purchase an incubator (the brand Hovabator would be an excellent choice). You may also need some vermiculite to bury the eggs in. You may also want to use a separate container to incubate the eggs.

When you have the incubator, you may need to first set it up before putting in the dragon eggs. Put some moist vermiculite in the incubator. Now switch your incubator on and put the temperature on at about 84 degrees in Fahrenheit . Don’t put in the eggs yet, just let your incubator stand for one day. This would make the temperature stable.

At this point, you can gently get the eggs from where it was laid and transfer it to the incubator. Make sure to pick out the fertile eggs from the unfertile ones. The fertile eggs should have a whitish and leathery look. Unfertile eggs, on the other hand, are yellowish and would appear to be gelatinous. This may take around 70 days ’till the eggs hatch.
