We’ve got some exciting news here at NewWave Dragons.
We will no longer be breeding central bearded dragons, however, a new breeding project is finally underway after the last 3 years of trying.
Our Central Netted dragon colony of 4 has just produced a clutch of 8 eggs.
Central netted dragons are a smaller dragon species growing to 10cm snout to vent (30cm including tail) and have a much shorter lifespan than bearded dragons. They can live in colonies when given a large enough enclosure. They like their habitat a little bit hotter and more dry than your beardies. They are called sand dragons for a reason, making elaborate tunnel systems under the ground to provide shelter from predators.
This was a very unexpected clutch as I had not seen them breed and the female wasn’t looking very fat.
Only 4-5 out of the 8 eggs look to be fertile so far but we will have to wait and see what happens.
Although these dragons inhabit a large portion of Australia they are rarely kept in captivity and aren’t commonly seen for sale so it will be good to get more of these awesome little creatures out there into the hobby
More updates will be coming soon.
