Can anyone help me sex my Beardie ?

[fancyfly]

I have 2 Beardies and 1 is obviously male but I'm having a hard time sexing the other can anyone help?

if you could post pictures of their vent area it would be the only way for us to tell.

here are some pics of the difference between male and female
male

has two distinct bulges at the base of the tail and has pronounced femoral pores (bumps on hind legs)

Female

has one buldge or no buldge at all and surpressed femoral pores.

do you have your beardies housed together? you really shouldnt do that. You need to have them seperated for their health and well being

I think its male but my other male jumps on him and bites the back of his head like they are going to mate. We just got the one that I'm not 100 % sure of the sex on and the get along great. No they are housed separately we just let them play sometimes

I think he's male but they act like they are mating they dont fight and it seems to bother them not being together. I was told that males dont get along but they are like best buds. One bobs his head(the smaller beardie) and in response one bows and waves ( the larger beardie) so confusing.

i may be wrong but i really think thats a female
maybe some some other eyes will jump in on this.

can I ask you what makes you think female ?

 

[spyder79]

i dont see two distinct bulges on the tail
could you take a picture of the bottom of the hind legs?

I think its a male, I see the bulges...and the femoral pores are very pronounced...He may just be having gender identity issues, so I hope youre an accepting parent... haha just kidding...i dont think w will ever know why thy do what they do, but physiology would say that that is a male, in my opinion (Im a vet tech, and i do this a lot for people).

your beardie looks to be a male. as you can see there are the 2 bulges on his tail that indicate male.... if it was a female it would just have one large bulge at the base of the tail not 1 on either side like in the picture

 

[spyder79]

in the picture i could not see the buldges maybe my eyesight is going but with the femoral pores its deffinately a male. good luck with your boy lol.

Your beardie is a male. It has the bulges on the tail, along with the very prominent femoral pores. Yep, I'd be very comfortable saying that you have a male.

I would agree, sure does look like a boy 2 me!!!! Just my 2cents.........

I thought he was male but my other male jumps on him bites his neck and he lays down and waves, as if they we going to mate.

you need to keep them seperate... is that is a sign of dominance and your older male could kill or seriously injure your lil male
