Confused!!!

[INCA]

ok well i bought to females. One from Rick Millspaugh and another from a reptile show.. anyways they are big beafy girls and when i put them into males enclosure they do all the head bitting and even bit the neck like they were going to breed!! One even bit my males tail, i took them out immediate. So do i have 2 males that i thought were once females??

Thanks

Sex them yourself- http://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/sexing/. It shouldn't be too difficult if they are adults. You can find more sexing photos if you google it.

If you can't sex them, you probably shouldn't breed them, as this is a complicated process.

So you have 3 dragons total? They shouldn't be housed in the same vivarium, as bearded dragons are solitary creatures. You may want to try introducing them slowly, if you plan to breed them. Sounds like the females may be aggressive- males aren't the only ones that can bite!

Now I'm confused! You already breed them? I saw your website link.

I suppose it's possible for anyone to make a mistake sexing a dragon. If you want to be positive, take them to a vet to be sexed.

I think that's a female.

but the only thing that dobuts me, is that she bites the tail of my males and just fights with them.. or is she just being aggresive?

Some females are aggressive.

that aggresive enough to attack the male?? its the first female to do that then

I've heard of this before on this site, but I can't find the post.

is there i can prove she is female??

 

[haleygirl272]

Sex her and take her to the vet

 

[ronni1221]

Sexing with a probe is only done properly by an experienced vet. I'd say you've got an aggressive female on your hands. That definitely looks like a female to me. Maybe she's just not interested in males. Lesbian? :wink:

 

[haleygirl272]

Lesbian? :wink:

Is that possible for an animal!? :shock:
