Copper Dragon Breeding

[Yhme]

M. Green x F. STD

That looks lovely!

 

@Vaati: Agreed. Guardians look very nice with them

 

*taps foot impatiently waiting for her Seragammas to grow up so she can try them with coppers*

[Maddie1112]

Brown Copper x Red Copper= Red Copper, I believe with mixed color pairings they'll only breed one of the adult's colors. Will experiment with biome theory once my greens grow up

[Fiona]

Heh. This was irresistible to try. Not sure I"m going to keep it though. Maybe I'll try to trade it for something.

 

male brown copper with female alt shadow walker = brown copper.

Oh, that's gorgeous. I really like the way the colors look together. But too bad the rest of us can't breed that exact pairing.

[MedievalMystic]

I just bred my pure Emerald Copper pair and got an egg, then I bred my Bronze/Flame copper pair (just my names for them) and also got an egg.

 

Thank God they didn't refuse. lol

[Fiona]

I decided to try male hellfire with plain (orange) copper female, since it's a combination I want for a rainbow even gen. Looks pretty spiffy. Got an orange copper egg from them.

[silver_tiger]

So far I've bred a Green Copper to a Thunder (resulting in a Brown Copper egg) and a Bright Copper to an Ice (resulting in a Bright Copper egg).

 

...interesting.

 

I'll probably freeze the babies unless someone wanted them, I need to go back to freezing hatchlings anyway.

I really want more Coppers, but I don't see ANY in the biomes, wasn't it said they are NOT rare?

 

So far I bred green with brown, gave no egg and orange (bright?) with silver which gave an orange egg.

The demand for them will make them harder to find for a while--especially with people breeding them to see what breeding combinations will make what egg.

 

They might turn out to be falsely rare, like Blacks and Stripes were/are. And those were supposed to be commons, while I'm pretty sure Coppers are uncommon?

[purplehaze]

Here are some of the pairings I tried out:

 

M. Orange x F. Red Neb

M. Green x F. STD

M. RB x F. Orange

M. RC x F. Brown - This is the favorite pairing that I've tried. I think I might make a lineage with this one.

I love the one with the red neb and also the one that is your favorite. Both of those would make very pretty lineages. Sadly I don't have even one orange Copper male and it seems like it could take a very long time to get one.

This is pretty.

They are just not dropping on the way I would expect for a non-rare. Yesterday, during a long "hunting session", paradoxically, I saw quite more Golds, Silvers and Blusangs than Coppers.

I'm actually rather fond of the way Female Brown Copper and Male Tri-Horn came out... although I am a little sad the egg didn't alt to a verdigris. Dunno if I'm going to keep it, mind you, but it was a fun experiment.

I quite like it.

[rubyshoes]

I didn't breed this pretty (caught it in a FFA) but it is a green copper x thunder and gave a brown copper.

So far I've bred a Gold x Verdigis and gotten a Brown (I was sadfacing, since I really wanted a verd from the pairing).

Also bred this:

http://dragcave.net/lineage/BElTu

 

I noticed what appears to be an interesting pattern (if it is correct)

I bred this, and the egg above from green males x female golds

 

http://dragcave.net/lineage/rxWTK

 

Then I tried this and got a verdigis:

 

http://dragcave.net/lineage/W02i1

 

Is it possible that the egg takes after the color of the mother?

(edit: Thought it might be the case, as that was the pattern, right up until the red dorsal... No clue why that would be different, so I guess my hypothesis is out the window. :\)

[SlowHornpipe172]

I bred a brown female to a Blusang male and got a brown egg.

[Vhale]

Granted, I'm locked for awhile as I also need to take a hatchy delivery (squee!) but I'd be happy to blood swap with people wanting to do even gens. That's what we have to do with metals and holidays, after all. I have CBs of almost everything so feel free to pm if you want to set up something.

[smurfettedoesnotshare]

I tried a red copper x gold and got a green copper. I haven't tried anything else, yet.

[dustpuppy]

After my first pair, a tarnished x tarnished couple REFUSED I'm tempted to try them with the new Seragammas. And I think they look good with Cavern Lurkers!

[Coronaviridae]

So are we still working out how these breed?

 

I've seen bright copper x bright copper produce a bright egg and tarnished x tarnished produce a tarnished egg. Anyone have a case of a PB copper egg being of a different color from its parents?

Edited May 31, 2013 by Coronaviridae

[SkylerFarrier]

To me, it sounds like the color of the Copper egg depends on what biome the mate comes from. For dragons that can come from any biome (metallics, Holidays, etc) it's random.

 

 

Indeed. I bet if you breed two different colored Coppers it's random. Or maybe it's only one of the parents' colors. But it'd be cool to breed, say, a brown and an orange and get a green.

That was my theory when I heard someone wonder if it's based on the Biome.

Breeding true makes sense, but breeding different colors of Coppers might be a bit trickier to work through.

 

What if you breed a Copper with a dragon that comes from two or more Biomes?

OOOH! What if it depends on the Biome you actually caught it in? That would be so annoying because I doubt breeders keep lists of that. Otherwise, it sounds like it might alternate.

Such as Copper x Stripe could be verdigris or rainbow. Or the color of the Copper parent.

My favorites from the breeding: http://dragcave.net/lineage/FLI6B and http://dragcave.net/lineage/L7zXr Unfortunately i was locked so it was APed

[missy_]

VICTORY!

That lineage looked so pretty on the first page, I just couldn't wait to try it!

 

So... tl;dr - Verdigris x Whiptail = Verdigris

That is really pretty!

 

There have been so many beautiful lineages posted. <3

 

I love the one with the red neb and also the one that is your favorite. Both of those would make very pretty lineages. Sadly I don't have even one orange Copper male and it seems like it could take a very long time to get one.

purplehaze, I feel your pain. I am in need of a Brown Copper female for my male. Maybe it is my eyesight but I have not seen any drop.

[loftiicry]

I'm pretty fond of the Royal Blue x Green Copper I just bred. uwu
