Question
I am wanting some babies to raise, but I didn't know if I could mate my female beardie with a German giant. Do you know if I can?

Answer
Hi Miss J,
  A German Giant is a large bearded dragon, usually well over 20" snout to tail.  Any female really should be no less than 18" long to be a decent breeder.
  If your girl is smaller, then treasure her as the wonderful dragon she is.  Females who are not breeders usually live longer.
  There is no money in breeding.  I do it to produce a larger, hardier dragon.  It is very expensive to breed.  A season of babies will cost $5,000 in food, lighting and enclosures.
