Question Confused about bearded dragon?

I put a post on here yesterday with pictures to help me find out the true sex of my bearded dragon. Every1 who replied thinks he is actually a she, but he/she has a dark beard and puffs it out in displays even though there is no females/males around. My question is do females do this too or does it mean i have in fact got a male?

My Goodness...what's the point in asking on a thread and getting many replies all agreeing then posting another one doubting it.

Do you want us to say it's a boy??

It's a boy...congratulations!!

Bearded dragon sexing

I helped yesterday...as did a few other people. No point helping if people aren't going to listen.

That was the need!!

I was asking because i looked in my bearded dragon book and it said that was one of the ways to tell. Like Luke said i was only asking for help there's no need to be rude just don't bother replying atall

A female can do it too but a males black beard will have a more intense black colour and they don't really do this until sexually maturity.

Grow up I'm 17 you're meant to be 21. Like i said i was confused and thought people could help, I thught that only males puffed thier beard out in displays. If you can't help what's the point in getting nasty you don't even know me.
Thank you to all the people that have helped I'll be changing it's name now i just wanted to be 100% sure
