Heres what my set up is, I have a 9-11 inch female in with a 17 inch male. well, I woke up and she was gone, I dont have a top on the tank because I new neither could jump that high. question one is, could the male eat her when shes that big?
and whats the best way to catch a lizard?

I hope this is a joke, but if it isnt...
This is what happens when you combine small dragons with big dragons. Yes, she probably got eaten, or is dead somewhere in the cage. If you do fine her I hope you have the sense to get her a separate tank and never put the two of them together again.

First, it wasn't a good ideal to keep bearded dragons of such difference in size together. Second, I don't think the larger one would have eaten the smaller one, but it is possible (especialy if the larger one looks really stuffed). Most likely the smaller one either buried itself under something (if substrate sand, may be underneath it, or paper towels etc) or managed to leap out trying to save it's life.
Search the cage completely, sift through sand, lift papertowels or newspaper, check under all furnatures. If not found, check around the cage, in dark narrow corners. Oh, if you have cats, it is possible the cat may have jumped into the cage and got him.
When you find the other dragon, put him into his own properly set up cage. They will do much better alone than together.

We are seeing more and more of these and unfortunately I don't think most of them are a joke. Why are you even buying these animals if you are not willing to protect and take care of them. We constantly hear people critcizing pet shops for their cruelty and lack of knowledge and then they stay mum about the owners who won't live up to their responsibility. This is very sad!
Alright folks now you can all take your shots at me for not being understanding.
