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.

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…
Cranky much?
He has a point though.
You just mad cause he is right. Haha.
Was there an answer to this question? I didn’t see 39 hours on the list. I have Ash and Quicksilver in the Epic Breeding Sanctuary.
There’s a new dragon that takes 9h. It’s Thunder, my son just built it using Lightning and Air.
You can now build dragons???
Add me on gamecenter for gems. Name is fack you dolphin 🙂

I second that.

It could be sun or moon.
I put ice and mine together and got 24 hours.. I’ve got upgraded breeding… What ist this? I tried for the diamond dragon.
Hey I bred a fire and a cold dragon and my egg is neither a frostfire or Bluefire egg. It’s a harlequin-patterned egg and it’s got 12 hours in incubation. Any ideas what this is?
What would 50 hours be on the epic breeding island…..I was trying for diamond with ice and mine….and nothing matches up with anything over 48 hours?
I bred mine and ice and got 13 hrs idk what it is I have no idea it doesn’t match up to any
I got the same. Oddly enough it was a Motley.
Motley
yea idk how though :/
Yeah it doesn’t make sense, but that’s what I got.
Well the point of the motley dragon is that you can get it using any combination whatsoever, regardless of whether the (motley) dragons elements matched up with the breeding dragons or not.
I bred a Gold and Silver and it is 48 hours… What could it possibly be
I breed firefly and storm and got 48 hours.
What could it be?
Sun moon or rainbow

Bred a current and magnetic dragon and got 20 hrs, I just bred the ouroborus dragon so I haven’t got a clue what this is…
p-p-p-p-p-peridott
Eh, what’s up Doc? So here’s my idea for your site, put in a dragon calculator. A person types the names of two Dragons, and it tells you the likelihood of which dragon you are going to get, and the possibility of which dragons you might get and how many hours it will take for them to breed. It will cut out a lot of questions for a lot of people. JMHO. No biggie if you don’t like it, just a thought. Other than that, thanks. Been a big help thus far. Oh, and if people would like to help me out with gems, I’ve given out quite a few and have hot none in return HMU @ jbly001 DragonVale or Game Center. Thanks.
I Tryed to breed an ourorabros dragon but insted I got the copper…this thing is hard to breed!
