Hello everyone. I was searching for some rules about dragons and their biology, specifically eggs laying time and so on. Even in Dragons Revisited it not specify any conditions to lay eggs. Obviously, the "other rpg scenario that we all know", have some specific info about that, like: Red dragons have to put their eggs into flames and wait 660 days to hatch.
Is there any information, regardless the scenario or even systems, that I could use?
You as gm, would do like the the example?
Or there's a specific paizo book that brings light to this topic?
Also, it would be great if the next dragon book could have this kind of information. Like, diet, environmental changes, biology and so.
Thank you.

Just use the D&D info if Pathfinder lore ever fails to cover something.
Ajpicket and Mr Rexx have some good YouTube videos on Dragon deep dives.
Has anyone done any videos or know of any quick references to how Golarian creatures differ from their Forgotten Realms counterparts?

I'd imagine that you would usually have to create your own material for something that specific. In particular, dragons seem like they tend to be painted in broad strokes.
There is plenty of information about their personalities and social interactions-since that can affect their use as main forces in a campaign- but the minutia would be ignored since they aren't common enough that you'd come across it. Iruxi egg laying time might come up, since it can be a highly personal issue for a character, but dragons seem unlikely.
As a result, you can go off whatever you find interesting and/or appropriate. Given that context, I am going to talk about a non-pathfinder work. Please ignore if you aren't interested.
Within that setting, dragons vary heavily depending on how powerful their ancestor was- a higher level ancestor has a harder time reproducing, and the child's growth rate is much lower (possibly even hundreds of years just to hatch), but their children have far, far higher potential and benefits. Most races in the setting see this kind of problem, but dragons have a high starting point and lots of high power individuals, so they commonly see this problem
Dragons also had the option of using a ritual that would force the egg to hatch and grow up at a much faster rate... but this crippled the child's potential and intelligence. It was mostly an option used by evil dragons for mass producing a large number of cannon fodder that could wipe out the common races.

In fact I think it's a great addition to the lore. Thank you.
About the homebrew rules. Well, it's not the easy way but it will make my campaign to shine with life. Maybe I'll create some rules based on info gathered around scenarios and campaings. Thanks for the insight.
