is it normal for 2 beardies who have been housed together for 1+year to still show agression. I just got new beardies home that have been together since babies to my knowledge and one had bit the other on the back of the head. I am attaching pics to verify both females. I am pretty sure they are.

femoral pore for a female.

If you hold them facing away from you and lift the tail gently, you should be able to tell better, like this:

A female, look above the vent on the tail side, she will have one smoothe bump area and small pores, hardly noticable

A male, two bulges in the same area, a dip in the middle, plus large pores you can see raised up going down the legs(side shot of them but you can see the raised areas of the pore.

she/he does look like she has larger bumps, but shows no pores. The one being agressive is a proven breeder. They have been housed together for ~2 yrs from what I was told. Would a male and female really be housed together that long with never anything going on? I showed them both to my male last night and he seemed happy to say the least. Beard went jet black and was bobbing like crazy.

I kind of thought this also, but she/he is supposed to be about 2 yrs old, and the pores on her legs are tiny compared to my other 1 yr old male. also, the one with the larger looking pores was the one getting picked on. the other girl was on top of her biting the back of her head. thanks alot for the reply.
