Hi,
a few weeks back I got a bearded dragon I renamed Torrin. Her prior owners (I'm her third) believed her to be male and I took their word for it. But then I read the "Sexing Your Bearded Dragon" article and decided to check for myself. One bump in the middle of the tail directly behind the vent, less pronounced femoral pores, thinner head. Female.
I've read that females are a bit different than males in some of their needs. I've read that they may lay eggs and need a loose substrate to dig around in. Is that all? Can you provide me with a bit more information? What are the complications and things I need to watch for? Does she need to be spayed? Isn't spaying dangerous for a small animal?
