MHD breeding

Question
Since the last time, we talked I have updated some items for my MHD. Now my question since my daughter wants to know all this new information. How do you know that they are breeding? How will you know that she is pregnant? What are the signs to look for? My daughter tells me that she sees both of the bobbing their head and flair of their throat pouch. So what do we look for and keep an eye on? The male and female get along very well.

Answer
Hi Nikeyta,
Good for your daughter!!!  Glad to see her asking lots of questions!!
You most likely won't know they are breeding...they tend to be pretty discrete with that.... You really won't know until you see her getting full of eggs.... The fact you see the head bobbing, etc pretty much says things are going along well with their "dating".

Instead of me typing out an understandable and complete answer, I thought it would be better for both you and your daughter to provide a wonderful link to read all about breeding "antics" and what to expect.
