Average Experience - Trouble Sexing Beardie (please help)

[DJ4LIFE]

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here and looking for help please.
I've raised baby bearded dragons before and purchased adults, but I adopted a bearded dragon from a friend who had kids and could not longer care for his beardie, and I'm having trouble sexing the beardie.

Can you please help?
I see no trace of male bulges but only see the female bulge (which sometimes shows on males as well). I see no phemoral pores at all. I haven't tried the flashlight method yet.

Also, if you guys wouldn't mind:
1) The beardie doesn't seem to move much...not like other beardies I've had. Is this a male/female thing? My other Beardie (male) moves quite a bit and is active!

2) I keep checking for impaction from superworms as i hardly ever see this beardie poop (he was on mealworms from previous owner). He eats veggies and superworms whenever we feed him/her (we provide more veggies than worms in a ratio of 70/30 favor of veggies) and he eats no problem. Has pooped twice since I got him 1 month ago. what gives? Sustrate is carpet with tile (1/2 and 1/2), powersun with a hammock that brings him/her 12 inches from the light source (160w) with ability to move underneath for less heat or to other side of tank.

3) Beardie never fluctuates between hot side and cooler side, even at night. Stays on hammock under powersun, when lights go out for nighttime and nighttime bulb kicks in on other side, he/she just sits on hammock in dark, doesn't move to the heat or anyting.....lazy fool LOL

Hi there......how old and what size is this beardie ? It does look like probable female, but several pics would have been more helpful with the tail arched back a bit more. I do think it's female though....try the flaslight method and you'll get your sure answer. As for irregular poos, be sure to offer water orally [ dripped on snout with syringe or eyedropper ] and offergreens like turnip, mustard, collard. Also baby food squash + canned pumpkin can help , and if she gets really constipated add a few drops of veg. oil or honey. Then give a weekly, warmer than usual bath [ about 2-3 " deep].....that usually works. One more thing, the 160 watt Powersun should not be that close, it might produce too much UVB....I think the instructions say more like 18" or so. If it's on top of a screen it might be O.K., that would lessen the strength of the UVB.
