Cause for concern? + Sexing time!

[TerratheBeardie]

As I was soaking Terra again,I noticed this after getting her out.Should I be concerned?

And I've been questioning Terra's Gender.Thoughts?

(And yes,I know about the foot wound.There's another,as well.We've got so many problems right now. ._.)

it is female i think. but if you really want to know go onto caresheet and articles then scroll down till you see sexing your bearded dragon.

I know about the sexing,but I just wanted to see what others thought just to make sure.Mistakes happen. ^^;

I would say that based on the photo, she is female.

Okay,so that confirms her gender then.Back on the main subject,should the dark scales on her tummy be of any concern or....?

They're just natural little marks. I think they depend on the dragon, but when stressed/agitated they become darker or more formed. Our new guy, Hawkeye, has these marks throughout his tummy constantly. But little Bindy has typically a pearly white belly, and only shows them when she's bothered.

I agree that it's no cause for alarm. My first beardie had a scattering of darker scales on his belly just like Terra and he was always perfectly healthy and lived to a ripe old age (almost 12). I always thought they were kinda like freckles.

Okay.Well,I can put that aside from now,at least. ^^;
