one of my dragons was head-bobbing and then the other one started waving. Just wondering what it means. Thanks.

It's a submissive gesture.

will both males and females do this?
I bought a "pair" last Sept., and I know it is difficult to sex them as babies, but, I think I have two females?
The femoral or pre-anal pores do not look that big to me...so I'm really not sure what they are. I bought them as pets for my kids...and they love them....I just thought I would have a little fun myself by breeding them....it would be a good experience for the kids too!
Thaks again,

Both females & males will do it as hatchlings. My adult males will do it occassionally when they are within sight of each other. How old is the pair? Here's a link to some great pics to help determine sex. They shouldn't be bred until they're at least 15-18 mths. old. Some breed them younger, but it's not really healthy for them. Keep us updated!

that link was very helpful!!!
It looks like I do have a pair....the female is almost twice the size of the male. Although my daughter named the male "jennifer".
