I bought a female beardie from a breeder and i've had her for about 4 months and is ready to breed however. When my male attempts to breed she snaps back at his tail and he does the same. She also head bobs back at the boy(not slowly).what's happening? (I'm pretty positive she's female and the breeder sold her to me as that)

She is probably just a naturally aggressive Female. Usually only super aggressive males will mate with these types because they are the only ones who can.

I think usually when they breed they tend to bite and struggle, unless if she's hissing I think she should be fine. Look up behaviour in breeding should help ya

Well I don't mean to sound like an a$$ but you really should NOT breed if you cant even tell the sex of the beardie! You really need to do more homework before you breed!!

I agree with Lance. There is a lot more to breeding this species than just putting a male and female together. You really need to do some more research before jumping into this. For example: Do you know how to set up a lay box? Do you have an incubator ready? Do you have vivs and lighting for all the babies? Did you know that 20 babies can go through about 10,000 + pinhead crickets a week? There is a lot to this. Plus, you really should be able to distinguish a male from a female before attempting to put them together. I'd say this is a female, and the displays you are seeing are commonly seen with a breeding pair. Some get more aggressive than others, especially when it's a very dominant, alpha female.

Yes I have it all setup I just wasn't sure why she was doing that
