 Soon to Breed!(hopefully)

Hi everyone I just wanted to make sure I understand everything right. I want to start breeding Maggie. She is about 4 years old. My close friend has had his male for about one year and bought it as a sub adult! Do you think it is okay to try breeding the two? I read the breeding 101 post and learned a lot. Im not jumping to do anything soon i just would like to, sometime this year, successfully breed my dragon!
Do female beardies lay eggs faster then the first clutch are hatched?
and during the incubation process it could take up to 75 days until hatching, checking it every day to make sure everythings okay? is that right??
Thanks in Advance!

Yes they do lay faster then they hatch. You could find yourself with 4 clutches cooking before any hatch. Some dragons lay another clutch as soon as 18 days after laying the first. -Jay

also, you have to keep the eggs and the substrate moist for the whole 75 days?(or however long until they hatch) how do you do that?

Multiple incubators. to keep it moist put a loose fitting lid on the egg container, and keep water in the bottom of the incubator. Misting the eggs gently will keep them hydrated. if you see condensation form on the inside on the egg container it is too wet and you need to leave the lid off them and let them dry some in the incubator. -Jay
