I think my male is in need of 'some action'(lol).. Advice??

[Carla0593]

Hello. Recently my bearded dragon keeps head bopping at pretty much anything he sees every 5 minutes or so and is always black. He's hardly ever head bopped before and he seemed happy. I gave him a bath earlier and as I walked into bathroom he saw himself in the mirror and he went skitso at it. Hes seems to be abit aggressive lately(head bopping and don't like me touching him anymore). He's 2 years old. Iv been told he is most probably in need of 'some action' and I have been thinking to let him have his way if it will make him happy by letting him breed with a female. But I don't want another lizard. Just looking for advice if I could put him up for stud? And does anyone know roughly how much I should charge? Hes very healthy and handsome little man.
Thanks

Sounds like he's a studly dudley! lol.

He's probably in heat and he thinks the dragon in the mirror (Namely Him) is another dragon and he's showing 'him' who's the boss and is the dominate dragon.

Haha!!
Yeah you are right.. its hard trying to keep hold of them when they go off on one like that with out him hurting himself.

I'm thinking that you would have a tough time charging ANYTHING in the way of Stud Fees for an undocumented, unknown Hienz57 type BD.

Your BD will do just fine without "An Interlude" with a female. It would be just wrong to have it bred to a female, causing it to go through the Breeding & Laying process just because you are misreading it's actions & believe it to be a little 'Antsy', whether the eggs are incubated or not.

Your BD is acting like a Bearded Dragon, nothing more, that's what they do . Don't be confusing Human response & emotions with a BDs, like comparing an apple to an anvil ...

Carla just like humans... it will pass. just be patient and don't make him angry. Its a biological part of life and not fair to the females.
