First thing, separate your dragons. Males and females over 6 months should never be housed together, especially if different sizes. Second, it is impossible to tell at this point if she will be gravid. Keep her well fed and healthy, in about 2-4 weeks she will show signs if gravid. Larger bulges in sides, digging, loss of appetite, etc.

Correct me if i'm wrong but shouldn't beardies be kept seperate at a certain age until the breed has been determined. So that no breeding can actually occur so that the female isn't at any risk of egg binding from her young age?
