I agree with Uli. I love the upgraded breeding cave/island. I wish the hatchery was a time saver too but I do speculate it will be a upgrade sooner or later. Wishful thinking anyways.
Thanks guys I've upgraded my island - so much prettier & only a 9 1/2 hour fail this time - still frustrating, but 20% less so!!
For the record, if there was any correlation between time and dragon type, then breeding two dragons together, using gems to instantly put the egg in the hatchery and breeding the same two dragons together would always result in the second of the same type. We know that doesn't happen. Ergo, time doesn't matter.
Also, got my 3rd Peridot on the way for my Egg display.

Congrats on the 3rd Peridot! Still working on my 2nd, also for the egg display.
We have seen where people (Poppy, I believe) have done exactly what you suggested, bred one then rebred the same pair and got another. Ergo, bite me!
Lol, sorry - just got home from the dentist - crown prep - may be just a wee bit cranky.
I know I have posted this before, but here is my theory again, just for you! You either missed it the first time or chose to ignore it, which is just so terribly rude.
I played a Facebook game with 2 other ladies every Sunday night for 3+ years, one in Great Britain, one in Canada and me on the west coast of the US. Obviously all different time zones. We would be chatting together in one open window and hunting in another.
Each Sunday at a specified time an item would be released for hunting, some times multiple items. We would hunt together until all of us had the new item(s), or until the lady in GB couldn't hold her eyes (lamps, as she called them) open any longer.
We were told the results of hunting were "random", that any hit could result in any of dozens of items, but always had a chance for the exciting new item.
Sometimes we would hunt for hours with no luck, and at the same moment we would all 3 hit the new item. If it were multiple new items released, we would all get the same new item at the same time. Not just once, but week after week. The sweet spot would only be a moment, so it wasn't like we could take advantage of the sweet spot.
We know that BFS can manipulate time as evidenced by the sun/moon timing. Why is it inconceivable that there might be a timing element involved with limited/rare dragons? It might be 5 minutes once per hour; or 1 minute once per hour; or 30 seconds once every 6 hours; or 5 minutes every 31 hours, which could account for the people who take a limited out, rebreed and get another right away. Have no idea what the sweet spot might be. Wouldn't it be fun to find out?
Ok, awaiting your response even though I know it will be way over my head.
Go ahead Jack and myke - post your funny pics - mock me. Release the sighing! lol
In trying to get a second Panlong, would my chances be better breeding the one I have with something, or should I breed one of the combos that have a chance of making one again?
I know this has been answered but I wanted to say hi. *waves* Welcome to the forum!

Now remember you asked for it Shirley. lol
It's better to mock with them than it is to have them mock at me.....erm, or something like that.

Yep...it sure is. He's so patient with us too on this subject. He's probably right of course but I always have that wonder somewhere in my mind that just maybe....

I do recall him being wrong before - just once. Just have a hard time thinking it is an absolute, plus it would be fun to have a project to work on. Even if it totally failed it would be fun and interesting to test. If it turned out to be true all BFS would have to do is tweak the times and we would be out-of-luck again, lol.

LOL that is true. I am in for testing if you guys want. Just let me know when. I just hope to catch up on some of these darn dragons first.
It's just marvelous, dear! Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
BTW, my wife was so happy last night to get her Peridot - at very last and having been bored with the 24-hours long nightmares!
I am still hunting for my only missing regular dragon, the Seasonal. Tried for over 50 times with Firework/Plant and Blazing/Cactus but still waiting for luck to come!

Dentists. Fun.
Of course it's going to happen some of the time. If you instantly cleared a cave and reset it with the same dragons and NEVER got a repeat dragon there would be something screwy going on.
I do recall your story, and I have no idea how Facebook games work, but it's certainly possible their limited programming could have the affect you experienced.
Whilst DragonVale could have the same sort of sweet spot, there is no earthly reason I can think of that they would do it. They no doubt have access to a sophisticated Random Number Generator to calculate their breeding success rates, and to add some kind of external influence on Rare Breeding would be an enormous amount of work for zero gain. It makes no business sense to spend money on something that has no benefit to the company/players.
Argh!!! All my shrines are now gold!!! Sooooo happy!! Thanks again for my shrine plan fletch! Saved me 10 dragons!!! Pictures to come!!
Congrats Tiff!! Huge load off ur shoulders now.. Have fun..
