Default how many clutches do beardies lay a year?

do they store sperm from one mating session? then use that to produce eggs year round?


thanks

I dont think bearded dragons store sperm cells.

Get in touch with Hadesdragons, the source of all bearded dragon information without a doubt.

the average is 3

i do know someone who his female is on her 9th big wow

but 3-4 is an average.

females normally retain sperm from mating.

you will have to see if the eggs are fertile once they come out.

we have one of our females she only retains for 2 clutches then she needs mating again
