Okay so I've been trying to sex my dragon for a while now, its super complicated not just for myself but for others as well. Well yesterday "Lily" had a playdate with Storm Storm another dragon which is female. Everything was going great until we put them on the ground together. My "Lily" black bearded and launched out at the female. So my question is, does this behavior for sure make "Lily" a Male??? Btw the other dragon did nothing to provoke "Lily"

Because of the blackbeard, it makes me think that she is a he. My female Dolly does not like my other female Dexter and shows her by puffing up her beard real big and staring her down. She's never black bearded. My male on the other hand, will blackbeard and jump at a female if he was allowed to be out with her.

Right!!! That was the first time seeing her beard!!! Even my friend was like "oh that's a make he's being territorial". So I'll just wait and see. We decided to name him Tiger if hes indeed a Male. A member here gave me the idea, Tiger lily. Pretty cool. Only thing is my kids go back and forth lol. Somedays its Tiger, somedays its Lily. Poor thing is probably confused lol.
