I have a female Sandfire dragon who is thinking it is a male.
She bite at the other females and trys to get up.

I do not know why she makes this but she do.

Hi
i think its allabout dominant behavour.
you see it also in dogs.
female dogs who riding on a male r female dog ,then they wil show they r the boss.
they even ride on people knee heheheh
maybe its some thing like that
thx for the respons.

This mock copulation is a dominance display. The 'mating' female is showing the other she's the boss by pinning her much the same way as a male would. If the other female is showing signs of stress, loss of appetite, or getting bleeding wounds from the other female, separate them. Treat any bleeding or open wounds with neosporin and house her on paper towel till they heal, then she cna be put on whatever substrate you currently use (I can't remember if you use sand or papertowel normally).

Hi
its not so bad like they bite with blood
she let show she is boss and then the other dragon acept that .
am happy they not bite
that dragon is housed with a male.

also one dragon whas bussy against a male ,but i saw him go into brumation 4 days ago.
normaly he whas the boss.
then he start to eat les and less and saw he act like a robot and then go into his cave.
so i think because he wanted to go into brumation he let the lady go and not react like he usualy does.

i use sand for 6 years now its sand 350 degree heated and cocoodiose free .
they use this for pignons also its not so dusty.
thx for respons

a free range dragon is a happy dragon

I have one 5 year old male, a four year old female, and a 9 month old what i thought was a female. yesterday i notived the 9 month old with a very black throught and bobbing her head. I saw the male across the room arm waving at her. I was so confused. I tried to put the two females together, because my male was bothering the 4 year old female. I should probably mention that the 4 and 5 year old just woke from brumation.

anyway my younger female started bullying the 4 year old female, doing all the matings that a male would do. Yet, I am convinced that she is a female.

I feel so bad for my 4 year old female, aphrodite. Everyone beats the crap out of her. SHe is such a sweet dragon too.
