Talk:Opal Dragon/@comment-5095719-20121012144947

Still trying to get 12 Gem dragons so will continue breeding Opals until I get there in my 3parks. The current combination of Mud and Lava now also has a chance at getting the reintroduced Bone dragon. I managed to get one last night. Not spending gems to speed up the 10 hour cycles so it is a pleasant surprise when a Bone egg appears in the nursery. I need one or two more Gem dragons to have 12 in each park; then I'll cull the duplicates as new Gem dragons become available. Because the Gem dragons can't be bred with each other I don't plan to keep spares in hibernation. I am hoping that this strategy will net me two Bone dragons in each park so that I have breeding stock for an egg later. According to the Dragonvale Sandbox the chances of getting Bone dragons from the Mud and Lava pair is about 1 in 10 while the chances of getting an Opal are about 1 in 20.
