hi guys,sorry to post 3 questions in one here but i dont have computer at moment and using my friends agsain...
my beardys is about 1 year old and just digging all the time,digging and lying down constantly,as i told you earlier there off there food,but is it normal for a beardy to constantly dig???
i was told maybe brumation..but i did change there times by accident..what happened was i reset the timer giving them light..i done this by accident for about a week ..then i noticed..i gave them about 2 hours less light each day...would this make them dig and just lie about???/its like there digging to lie deeper in the substrate

also when looking down on a beardys head is it the male or females head that is longer thinner and a little more pointed?????

thanks for any help...i cant keep replying so if possible guys dont answer me with more questions,as its my friends computer and ill pop back to his house later to check if you have any usefull info

thanks again

Im not so good on brumation behaviors so i will leave that for someone else...

but as far as sexing, there are a few visual characteristics that you can look for when sexing dragons, but it is important to note these are not in any way 100%. The only way to really tell is by looking by the vent. Males will have two bulges and very distinct pores, and females will have no bulges and faint or almost non-exsitant pores.

Males (generally) have wider, stockier heads, a thicker build, and a thicker base of the tail.

Females tend to have narrower, more streamlined heads, are smaller, and have a thiner base of the tail.
