Dragon sex

How old do Beardies have to be to determine their sex? Mine is 2 months old

You may be able to tell, but it's not going to be easy. Usually when their 1 year old you can tell, but other than that it's hard to say. Sometimes you can just go off on the size of the head and tail, but it's not that reliable.

I know it has to do with the glands between their legs, but with mine I can't tell, not that it really matters I guess, I love it either way

hold it and press you thumb gently but firmly on its back slow and gently pull the tail to a 90 degree angle if you do it right you should see (one bump or no bump= a female) 2 bumps = a male) it should be right above the bootie hole but i did that to my Rosie when she was 6 months old

I will check it out, but will probably have to wait a little longer and see what I see. Thanks for your help

I am trying to be more patient lol I named mine Frankie, figured it was neutral enough, my last beardie was named Charlie, because I didnt know his sex either, so I just try to keep it neutral. But I understand wanting the perfect name.

Here is a vid on how to sex your BD. But you will likely not be able to tell for sure for a few more months.

2 months might still be a little early to tell, but you're welcome to try! I would wait a few months if I were you though.
