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.

I bred my thunder dragon with a polarIan and have to wait two days what is it?
I have bread a dragon with an incubation of 56 hours, any ideas what it could be ?
What did ya get, friend? 😉
A light and dark really cool it isn’t even marked as breedable. Have fun with your dragons my friend
Ummm it should only be a double rainbow I think..
45hrs in cooperative, my lvl 11 Sorarian with a friend’s Snowy gold… Anyone have any idea what it might be?
Probably a sun or moon dragon
It’s a sorarian
The only thing marked as 45h is a sorarian dragon. Plus, the max level for a Sorarian dragon is ten. You just lied.
Mine are all at level 15. Do some reseach…the highest level anyone can get their Epics, including the Sorariam, at this time is level 20. Look up Relic of the Epics and Monument of the Epics. It is harsh to call someone a liar…when you do not know what you are talking about…how would you feel if we say you are ignorant?
I had mine for 23 hours and 30 min any ideas.
just got this same breeding time came wondering the same thing
acctually, its probably a solstice
wat did u breed?
It can only be a solstice
It’s a solstice
I bred my level 7 gold dragon with someone’s level 11 serenity dragon and got 1 day and 21 hours. Any ideas?
What did u get
Sorarian.
I bred a metal and cold and got a 47 hour and like 5 minute incubation time. What did I get?
Electrum. Congratulations. xD
I bred a flower and mud and got an incubation time of 23 hrs… Any ideas?
It might be the geode dragon
i bred my lv 8 storm dragon with my friends lv 4 acturian dragon in the cooperative breeding cave. i got 32hrs. anyone have any ideas?
It either has to be an pearl or sunstruck dragon or a kind of Olympus dragon
WHatchu talkin bout with the nonsense about a pearl dragon comin out?
Can’t be pearl, gemstone dragons I only have one combination, pearls is snow and seaweed
It could be a lapis, any of the snowy Olympus dragons, or a sunstruck.
I bred my Bronze dragon (level 4) with my friend’s Monlith 5 dragon (level 15) through cooperative breeding. Got breeding time 2 days and 12 hours, that is 60 hours. Is it a Double Rainbow?
Yes it is congrats.
39 hours…any ideas of what I got?
You got a ragnorok
I bred a cheer and jolly dragon and the time was 2 days and 7 hrs I look on it list but didn’t find 2 days and 7 hrs
What u think it is
Possibly a sun or moon
Dazzling is 2 days 7 hours
Sun or moon is just two days. Also you have to convert it to hours. Example: 2 days / 48 hours.
Well it sounds you’re gonna get Santa Claus. Just kidding. It’s gotta be dazzle or twinkle
I bred my level 10 marbletail dragon with my level ten ourobous dragon in the normal breeding cave and got something with 51 hours any ideas?

I was able to breed the diamond dragon with mine and ice. It just took a little while. Btw, that was a combo from the app itself. It was only 25 gems and I got it.
I just bred a lvl 15 Blazing with a lvl 15 Crystal and got a double rainbow first try!! Highly recommend this combo!!
Comet+ bizurrian= bizurrian ( sorry for any spelling errors )
I bred a Monolith 1 and Monolith 5 dragon together and I have a 40 hour breeding time. What the heck am I gonna get?!
Same dude except Monolith pink fatty and cooperative bronze both mine

Air + iron = bronze
21 hours
I’ll post what it is so you can add it
I got a sun dragon from breeding a ire dragon with a bizurrian dragon at 7:41 pm
I thought you could only get the sun dragon between 6:00A.M-6:00P.M
Just got a 60 hour in regular breeding cave using ambrosia and smoke, is the only dragon with this time the double rainbow, as I already have one of them? Was hoping for something different.
I breeded a Monolith Dragon and a Bronze dragon and got 40 hours, any ideas?!?
Just got 60 hours in cooperative cave (tulip and anturian) I think that means double rainbow! And, at the same time, I got a 33.3 (thirty three hours and twenty minutes) in the Epic Breeding Island as well! Hopefully dusk wing… I just bred random epic dragons..
. I’d got so bored of trying tricky combinations to try and get the gemstones and I just gave up and bred anything that sounded rare. And it worked! I’d say most of my best dragons come from random breeding instead of particularly trying for things, so if you are sick of getting fifty five hail dragons in a row like me, try this!!!!!
14 hours
Level 15 Air
Level 15 Forest
Any Ideas I Want To Know What My Dragon Will Be Not Just A List Of Possibilities.
