Caging - plastic tubs are fine. ohiopimp has a picture of his set-up in another thread named "just finished the Reptihotel". It’s a cool set-up, but you don’t need anything that elaborate, but it’ll give you an idea for under $500. Also, you should house babies in groups of five to seven, and have extra cages for the little guys that aren’t in perfect health, smaller than their brothers and sisters, won’t eat, etc. They should be housed separate if you don’t want them to die.

Lighting - pretty much the same as adults, UVB bulb, preferably 8.0, a basking light, etc. The only thing I did different when mine were baby’s was I gave them a ceramic bulb at night to keep them warmer at night, since baby’s are more suseptable to disease and stuff. A ceramic bulb may not be nessecary, but I personally would suggest it.

At 13 years old I would stick with maybe having 2 dragons. But for you to raise over 20-35 eggs. And thats’s only until she lays again & again over and over until 3-12 months. So it could top over couple hundred hatchlings to take care of. It takes allot of money and time to do all the right things. Go around looking up all the prices of the things you need for raising the hatchling. Sorry if this comes across you wrong, but better safe then sorry! But if thats what you want to do I wish you luck!!! It’s not your age It’s your Availability to care, feed & nuture the hatchlings.

TL, trust me, no offense taken and I didn’t find you rude in the slightest. :-) Thanks for taking the time to cut and paste many of her posts. I had actually read many of them, but not all at one time. I just thought I’d post in case she is a typical 12 yr old having their usual hard time to communicate. I know how much this could hurt her feelings if she’s genuine. But I agree, it is difficult to believe her. And she’d already been offered the best advice from good people here. I know how long it takes to post advice (Oh, and I agree with Gimli’s award for you! Hehe!). So, I agree Ashley was getting frustrating. If she doesn’t get a parent on here, I’m sure everyone has decided to no longer reply to her, and I don’t blame them.

Ashley, if you truly want help, get one of your parents to verify your info!!!! Otherwise, nobody is going to help you. And if your parents aren’t willing to come on here, then the good people on this site will not waste anymore of their time and not want you to breed anyway!!!

How was THAT, TL???!!!! Hehehe!
