Male or Female? Trouble in Paradise, Help!!!!

[VelocityBeardedDragons]

Not sure where this post belongs, I'm new but not new to Beardies! I recently rescued a bearded dragon, and am having a near impossible time sexing him/her. He/she seems to be healthy besides being a little underweight, but is eating like a champ. Normally I have no problem with the sexing... But this one is stumping me! Included are some photos of the vent area and the tail. Let me know what you think!

Looks like a girl to me.

Yup

Here a good pointer some one gave me...If it's a older dragon and Ur not sure look at the beard if it looks small and don't buff out or sag with loose skin then it's mostly a girl. Males will have more sagging skin on the beard area.

Id say she a girl myself

I'd say female..... But give this a shot

Females also have a smaller head. river-7-looks like a female to me.

Its strange u shud say that. For sum reason i think Boris is a female. His head smaller than Diegos n so is his beard. Il have to double check i was told her a boy but not checked myself.

 

[diegothediggy]

If he is a she wud he have laid eggs by now ?

 

[river-7]

Not all dragons lay eggs-some do and others will not.

I found all my males did a lot of head bobbing and had a fairly big head. Just my thoughts.

 

[diegothediggy]

Hehe just double checked yeh he a boy. He does a lot of bobbin n like to go black bearded. So he a boy with a small head and.beard. He is quite small tho compared to Diego. N he a month older. Do u think Diego too fat or Boris too thin? sorry it wnr let me attach pics.

 

[diegothediggy]

Sorry i cnt post pics at the mo for sum reason. Il keep tryin

 

[Canicke]

I wouldn't worry about borris being too thin. Nor about Diego being too big. They come in all sizes just like people. As long as they're healthy you're good to go

 

[diegothediggy]
