Yes, they can and will mate and have eggs, but I strongly advice against it because there is a good chance of their children having genetic defects. If you are keeping your dragons in the same cage, separate them as soon as possible.

Since dragons are so common, inexpensive and available to get unrelated sexes, don’t up the odds of a recessive carried gene coming out in the babies when you mate brother and sister. The actual "odds" of something occurring is not 50%, but it’s irresponsible to do this. PM me if you need a mate that’s unrelated. In extremely rare animals and no other alternative, people do incestually mate to produce more babies. But it’s out of desparation and makes for a small gene pool.
