I have all my boosts in play as you can see in the screen caps above, I just hadn't given much thought to double boosts. I have, however, taken great care to not have a negative boost on any dragon - again, as I mention in the post above.
Will the Panlong dragon return?
Regarding a sun island goldmine - upon getting a Sun and Eclipse dragon, I had hoped to breed them and fill an island with Sun and Eclipse dragons. Sadly, breeding them together is no longer a guaranteed epic dragon.
Is there any way to make money fast now that the breeding has been changed with the last update?
I have been breeding solar eclipses lately. SE + SE -> SE at about a 50% success rate. The only fail is earth which has quite a short breed time. Only a small sample though, but pj seems to have similar results.

It's possible the Panlong may come back if we get another Bring 'Em Back event in December, like last year.
When not breeding for a Jet egg, or Dark hybrids, have been breeding Solstices for DC. Chose Solstice over Solar Eclipse because they incubate in 23.5 hrs instead of 48, but still have the same earning power.

Oops I meant Solstice. Also my hit rate has crashed since I wrote this. It is probably closer to 30% now.

Did some tweaking to my Treasure Island. I decided to put all of the main elements on the island as homes for all the opposite dragons (don't have them all yet).
It's still a hodge-podge, but with the Apocalypse and Light habitats gone it feels right.
Before:
After:
The idea is that it's called "Treasure Island" for the Treasure habitat, but that the real treasure is the rare opposite dragons.
As a side point, the plan is to color match all the dragons to the habitats on this island.

This wasn't the least favorite island for me. I actually find it rather interesting. I like the way the gold sort of ebbs and flows down the middle.

I like the gold path too. It's fun to watch the visitors meander through the maze-like parts.
Not sure what I'll do when I need a second Treasure habitat. There would probably be room for it on the island, but it will kill the path layout.
If you move the visitor port to the top, there may be room enough for a second treasure habitat at the bottom with some minor re-jigging
Good idea. I'll try that, along with a few other things when the time comes. Will be a while though. Right now I'm concentrating on Olympus dragons and Opposites.
Here's my first attempt at a Dark and Light island:
When I get the last island (and a lot more epic habitats), most likely the Seasonal habitats will be elsewhere, and this will have Sun and Moon habitats to accompany the Dark and Light ones.

Looking good! Keep in mind that if (like me) you want to showcase all the light/dark dragons in their light/dark habitats you'll need all the space you can get for multiple more habitats

Hey Kristof!
Very good point. Most of my islands only have room for two elements. I keep thinking of Light and Dark as one element.
Here's take 2 of my Light/Dark Island. I will be calling it Taijitu Island (the name of the yin/yang symbol). It combines light with dark, day with night, warm with cold [Seasonal], ancient with modern.
I also redid my Rainbow Island and the Island with the Metal habitats (which I now call Apocalypse Island).
