Here are my two dragons, can someone please confirm what sex they are? I thought I knew, but the way they acted today got me all confused!

looks like a def. female to me, no pores and seems to have a central buldge which is typically female. if you hold the lizard in your palm and hold up the tail at a 90 degree angle and look just above the vent and you see a centralized bump or no bump at all its a girl!! two bulges its a boy!

hope that helps,

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that. But, which one looked like a girl...the pictures were of two different dragons. Sorry for the confusion!

Here's a good link

Sorry I didn't really notice the 2 pictures i scrolled too fast

how old are they?

I can't tell from those pics, you'd have to hold up their tails at the 90 degree angle then it's really obvious (once you know what it looks like). If you put the two together and they poof out their beards the one with the jet black beard is male. Do they fight? males will fight males and females will fight females.. sometimes, but i've never seen a female's beard turn black. Males usually have stuff that looks like it's coming out of those pores... it doesn't really look it in those pics but it's hard to tell from a photo.

One of them is 1 and the other is 1 1/2. Reciently they have been fighting more, the larger one will, totally out of the blue, attack the smaller one and bite "her" on the back of the neck. They have never injured eachother, though. A few days ago, the littler one started attacking the bigger one, just the same way "he" had been attacking "her"! She is usually the one who bows and waves to him, and he usually bobs to her. Neither has agressivley flared their beards before.

Sorry I took so long to reply.

Thanks for your help!

im not completely sure, but that sounds like mating behavor. the males will often bite the femaleon her neck to urge her to mate, also the head-bobbig is male mating behavior while the arm waving is a female mating habit. at least i think that's what thqat means, can someoe confirm it for me?
