Bearded Dragons RETAIN SPERM. So, they almost ALWAYS multi-clutch...you CANNOT control or limit the number of clutches to 1 a year. Matter of fact, 3 is about average from a single mating session, and if housed together all year, female beardies can have up to 7 or even 9 clutches. (Best to house the male seperately to control the breeding to the extent possible.) I suggest you re-read the book, and if it doesn't have this information, that you throw it out and get The General Care and Maintenance of Bearded Dragons by Vosjoli and Mailloux.

There is a lot of great advice in this book as well as great photos an format. The sections on breeding and behavior are especially good. Being an owner of a Bearded Dragon I found the information acurate and consice. I was however a little concerned to read in the section on breeding that the females could have up to three clutches a season. I felt that tis should be controlled to one clutch per year NO MORE!! Pregnancy takes a lot out of even the healthiest dragons.
