List of DragonVale dragon incubation and Breeding Times
NOTE: If you’d like to see our full DragonVale Breeding Guide, click here.
So, every once in awhile you’ll set up two dragons to start breeding and get hit with a lengthy 20 or 24 hour breeding time, and you’ll want to know just what IS that dragon going to be when they’re done doing the nasty? Is it worth rushing it with gems? Well, here’s a quick list of the various breeding/incubation times for the various DragonVale dragons to help you out. Please note, these are the times for the STANDARD breeding caves, so if you have upgraded your Epic Breeding Island or Breeding Cave to speed up the breed times, multiply these times by 1.2 as those caves speed the breeding time up by 80%. (Although once you have an egg, these times WILL sync up with the incubation times if you cannot identify the egg you get). Some dragons share the same breeding times, so you’ll have to use your brain a bit and think about the elements you blended to know whether your 8-hour breed time is going to be a Blazing or a Ice dragon.

Hi! I got 48 hours trying to breed a Rose dragon, so chances are we got a Sun and Moon dragon.

How do I get the solar eclipse dragon
Which dragon should I breed for getting the emarald gemstone dragon????
This is just a general reply to everyone asking “how do I get such and such a dragon?” You know this site has all of those answers, right? All you have to do is go to the page for that dragon and it tells you. I’m sincerely curious how people are visiting a site that is completely about how to breed dragons in this game and yet still ask questions like that. Please, tell me, I would really like to know. It would save me from being frustrated because I always assume people are just lazy and/or stupid and that can’t always be the case. I would love to assume something else, but I don’t know what else it could be. Please help me out here…
There’s a new dragon that takes 9h. It’s Thunder, my son just built it using Lightning and Air.

What about upgraded breeding island times
I just multiply by 0.8 and it gives you the normal breeding time.

I second that.
