Wondering if Harry has hermaphroditism?

Harry's sex has been debated since before I've even got her! Which is why she is named Harry, haha!

She has never ever been gravid, but her outwards sex characteristics are that of a typical female bearded dragon.

She is also definitely on the larger size, being just a bit over 20in and just weighed in at 561.

It's interesting to wonder if this is even a possibility with bearded dragons?

Just some late night rambling from me, sorry for such a long absence I forgot my password 😅

I'd be pretty sure having some characteristics that are between genders, or just infertility, can happen in any species. It's even seen in much simpler animals such as insects, usually not that pronounced that there is really a mix of two reproductive systems, or an appearance of the one but organs of the other, but often more subtle, like hormone levels or receptors not reacting to hormones.
So I cannot show any proof that exactly hermaphrodism happened in exactly a bearded dragon, but in general, animals with both male and female characteristics, or just the reproductive systems are not working, aren't uncommon.

Possible but not likely. What do you mean by outward sex characteristics though ? Can you post pics with her tail arched up high while she is flat on a table or bed ? Arch the tail up to a position similar to a dog's tail when they are excited.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
