Vraselian pseudo-dragons are sexually mature at one year old. Domesticated pseudo-dragons can be safely neutered or fitted with contraceptive implants at six months.
Female pseudo-dragons construct large and elaborate nests in which they lay clutches of eggs; an average clutch has five or six eggs. Nesting pseudo-dragons require a high-calcium diet. They also hoard food in preparation for hatching: young pseudo-dragons eat food regurgitated by other colony members for the first few days.
