Any dragon agama owners out there want to contribute with their experiences?

I got my second dragon agama (japalura splendida) yesterday, unfortunately the sex of it and of my current one weren't known, hard to find information on them, but I'm interested in this learning curve they'll provide me. They were both a bit aprehensive at first, the new one being the first to try to make friends, the occasional tail lick, a claw rested gently on the back of the other, that sort of thing. Then my current one, Binky, made a fairly forward move, leapt onto the back of the newbie, which didn't even make it jump; no sexual activity took place but they both seemed very comfortable in each others company. I'm thinking it looks as though Binky's a male and the new one a female, which should lead to more learning with breeding etc.

These are a beautiful species, very fun to watch, and extremely fast and springy.

Binky

The new one (slight yellow/green colouration under the throat - possibly gender specific, not present on Binky, but on the other one they had in the shop)

And just managed to get a pic of them both together

Just cleaned out the viv, they weren't at all happy about the time they spent out of there, but have been been by each others side ever since. A really fun pair to watch

Awesome little dudes.
Sorry no experience with them, just researched them a while ago and saw soem in a nearby shop 2 years ago.

I hope they do very well with you and hope you do infact have a pair and manage to breed them.
All the Best.

Thanks, they are great together often they'll rest on one another. Just took this pic of them:

They've been getting pretty flirtly lately, Binky quite often leaping onto Scooby's back, who doesn't mind this at all. They seem to have a weird way of letting each other know they're interested as well, a slow dip of their heads down to whatever they're resting on and a little flick of the tongue, then back up again. Scoob's looking a little fatter now, so I'm hoping there's some eggs in there.

awww that very last picture was adorable - they seem like they love eachother already!! I suppose you would have known if they didn't like eachother by now.

It is very hard to find much out about them, but thats another thing that draws me to them, I'm so curious about them. Can't fully confirm this, but providing Binky's male and Scooby's female, the difference seems to be that males are darker in colour at between 80 and 90 degrees F, and also that females have a hint of yellow on their dewlaps, whereas males are completely white

This also seems to be an indication that they're hungry, as I ran out of locusts and Scooby's started doing it a lot
