Good news:)

[Jesse omg it's me]

i am sure now that my new BD is a girl i dont see any lumps!! also i found out guys get bigger pores on their legs then females and My new BD doesnt have any pores that are easy to notice like males. Also i know you cant tell when there young by their heads but my BD has a smaller head compared to ones i have seen when they are babies!! so i think im going to name her Autumn
What do you think of her name?
ill try to post pictures i tried getting some but she doesnt like being held in a position to where i can get a picture and then trys to get out my hands....Autumn is doing great though i am so happy to see her so active!!

How old is your baby girl? It's usually easier to confirm a sex as a juvie, though Autumn is a very pretty name! Heads don't necessarily tell a whole lot, Cass has a huge head and I know for sure she's female because she's laid two clutches .

 

[Josh]

Love the name!

 

[Jesse omg it's me]

Im not sure on the age for sure she is about 5" so maybe a month or so

 

[bouncer36]

mine was 5" at 6 weeks old

 

[Jesse omg it's me]

Oh maybe she is 6 weeks old i know she is going to shed soon because down her back is getting gray so she might be between 5 to 6 weeks.

 

[bouncer36]

of course mine is now 16" now at 10 months old

 

[Jesse omg it's me]

they grow up so fast!

Love the name! It's awesome you know her gender now. And I didn't even know beardies had pores! That is so weird!

Really? That is both strange and awesome!

 

[Mayoko]

yeah i didnt either at first!! i looked in ways to determine the sex of a BD and it came up with things like the size of heads but people been telling me thats not really a good one to use and then if the BD have two bumps in the pelvis area then the BD is a male and of course no bumps the BD is a female haha then i read that males have bigger pores on their legs then females so i went on google images and typed in male bearded dragon pores and saw they do have have bigger pores it was so interesting to learn about! haha ill post pictures to show!

 

[Jesse omg it's me]

male bearded dragon pores

 

[Jesse omg it's me]

females pores

 

[Jesse omg it's me]

Can you notice the difference?

 

[Germ]

Again the pores are not a hard & fast rule, I have never seen a male with pores as pronounced as the 'Male' example. Again every dragon is different, some females have larger, some males smaller, depends on the dragons you are comparing. The only reasonably sure way to sex them is check for the Hemipene bulges as shown in the video or to probe them & I don't suggest you ever do that. All other methods are relative to the BDs being compared & highly inaccurate. Your BD is too young right now to tell other than to a highly trained eye & even then at this age is an educated guess. Your BD is simply not developed enough yet to visually tell for sure, some times it's not accurate to tell until 4 to 6 months, depending on the development of the BD. You should resign yourself to that, your stressing yourself out over something you have no control over. I have a 7 year old male, that by the visual check, I would still swear it to be a female, had I not seen his 'Junk' in action.

All I can say is I agree 100% with Germ on this one! Wait to be sure, it's so much easier to tell after they've "dropped". I could have sworn "Misty" - later named Gabriel was female until he got two of my females knocked up!

oh but i check out books from the libary and all the books said the same thing about the pores even a lot of websites i read? ill trust you on this one though i guess i have a lot of learning to do thanks

Gabe's pores weren't very prominent and only had a bar across where there should have been lumps til suddenly he one day got horny.... little critters!

 

[Jesse omg it's me]
