Agressive Beardie

tinygeckotoes Jun 10, 2005 07:46 PM

I have 3 bearded dragons 2 females and 1 male.. my 2 females have been living in a house together for about 3-4 years and my male has been added to the house about 2 years ago. My dad made the cage so its really big.. i know size istn a problem.. however my youngest female just started attacking the others this week.. she latched on to my one females back leg and wouldnt let go we tried everything to get her to let the leg go my female started rolling around trying to get her off afraid her leg was going to break i reach in to unlatch her and just then my beardie went to bite as self defense and my hand was in the wrong place at the wrong time.. we kind of seperated the one biting female from the other 2 and a few days later let her back in with the others 4 days later she latched on to the males front leg.. after him freaking out and running around she finally let go.. she did lay a clutch of eggs about a month ago.. but this sint the 1st clutch shes laid and she has NEVER attacked or even tried to attack the others i dont know whats wrong with her.. if you could help me please let me know
Thanks- Hannah

aggression to other beardies is normal...can even happen after having been kept together for years with no problem...they don't live together in the wild and shouldn't in captivity either...best thing to do is seperate them permanently...
