Help! My bearded dragon is pregnant. What do I do with babies?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Hi! Recently got a beardie from a friend that couldn't care for her, I later found out she's gravid and has been with a male (most likely fertile). I have no problem raising the eggs and beardies as babies but after they are about 5 weeks I wont have the money or time to give them that they deserve (all 20 something). Savannah, the mother, hasnt laid yet but shes gonna pop soon, after theyre properly cared for, what do I do with them? would the store take them? It would be awful to freeze eggs.

Why don't you join a reptile club and advertise the young for sale. You can also advertise on various reptile sites on the internet, and craigslist. Also visit petshops and ask if they will buy babies from you. There is also a Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/527045857398799/about/ http://www.thebeardeddragon.org/bearded-dragons-for-sale.php I would not give them away for free as people tend not to value free animals and may not treat them properly.
