A surprise about my beardie
Posted 28-08-2009 at 08:24 AM by LadySaslic
Well lets see when I finally got my first beardie I was advised that it is 90% sure that they were male. So I have been calling it a he for 2 months now.
Well last night a friend of ours come over and was sat having a look at jager, she asked me what I thought he was and I said a male.
Now I have been unsure about the sex of my beardie for a few weeks now as their beard has gone orange and has started digging.
Well she had a look and said no you have a female on your hands it has never been male.
So I have now got to get use to calling him a she and now get some play sand so she has somewhere to dig.
I am so confused, but on saturday I am getting my second female. I cant wait.

I can see why you would be confused hunni, i myself find it hard sometimes to determine the sex of a beardie but yes it does sounds like your little beauty is a female. Males tend to have larger heads and being darker on the back and also under the beard area. I wouldn't stake my life on it though as my dad did have a beautiful bearded dragon and the fact that it has a large head an was quite drak in patches, we all thought it was male but the habits of a female were being displayed, as in waving and digging. They can be tricky little so and so's to sex but it does sound like you have a female and congratulations on getting your second female, i myself i am looking for one at the moment lol. Hopefully iv'e helped you a little xxxxx

hi
its not just females that dig, males sometimes do too! if you look on the underside of thier back legs ( tricky sometimes but it is possible i promise!) a male will have what look like enlarged pores/bumps like below wereas females don't  |
