Question
My female dragon seems to be finally no longer having clutches she had about 9 clutches this year I tried to stop her after the first 2 by removing the male ( with no luck she still layed ) what I was wondering is do u think she will lay next year or do I have to remove the male again but before the season starts this time or is it just a case of her laying every year or do they only lay once thanks
Hello, bearded dragon females will lay a few clutches every season. The season usually comes up once a year and bearded dragon females can hold sperm for a very long time. The male and female cannot be housed together. If you have them living together separate them. You can also try giving her a break with mating this next season.

Expertise
I can answer every question towards the bearded dragon except for questions that deal with sickness and disease. I can answer questions on heating and UV rays, the questions pertaining to food, habitat, bedding, breeding, egg/hatchling care, nature, and attitude are my best. Last, I cannot help you with at home sickness meds, always find a vet within your area. I can answer questions regarding body language and movement. I will try to help you to the best of my ability.
Experience
I have owned 7 bearded dragons. For 6 straight years, I have had my first male and female that i have been raising. Raising my male and female have been such an experience! Breeding them was also a great experience! After my male passed, it made me realize that raising them was one of the best experiences of my life and still currently is.
Education/Credentials
I have no educational cedentials, but i have constant history of bearded dragon research.
