How many tries he asks?? ;-) I've lost count. I've been breeding Crystal + Cactus continuosly since release (19 days) in both EB and NB, I have not even taken any breaks to try for any of the other new ones. This is the 1st dragon that has given me this much trouble. It is all luck, there are no magic formulas or combinations. All you can do is try and keep trying.

For this dragon the following really doesn't apply but: For most other breedings there are ways to 'up your odds', an excelent source for checking combinations is http://www.2084.org/dragonvale/breeding-sandbox/. Generally look for combinations that result in less possible outcomes. For example, if a combinatioin shows you the possibilty of getting 5 dragons then there is 20% chance you get the one you want, if it shows 3, then you have a 33% chance. Again this is just in general, other factors may sway the odds like epic, rare, uncommon, I personally belive that backflip codes in lower %s on epic, rare, and uncommons.
