Are you sure they are male & female....... just if you have been keeping them together would have thought they would have got it on.... how long have you had them?

All the head bobbing, arm waving, black beards, etc. can happen between same sex beardies as well. They use it to dominate the other. They can even simulate sex to show who's dominant.

Ours will usually mate if we get them out of the tank. Our male goes mad if we get our female out, but not him. We just need to open the tank then and he just goes for it. I think they sometimes just like a bit of space. Hope this helps. Or it might just be too late in the year and you may need to get the tanks cooler etc. over winter and try again next year when they wake up.

How long have you been trying?

Donna

Default dont know if this works...

but i'm sure i read in a book to try placing them in a dark room with a single spotlight to bask under...

might be complete crap, but if you do try it, let me know how it goes!

good luck either way.
