Is it just me or do boys have sharper teeth than girls?!

Do males have sharper incisor like teeth? Just wondering, our boys have accidentally gotten me a couple times while hand feeding them (my fault) and they usually make me bleed a tiny bit, yet my female has missed the food and nipped me a few times full on mouth and its never left a scratch. :lol:

With mine ill offer them food, they'll half take it, then try to eat the entire thing in one bite suddenly and sometimes get my fingertips. :lol:

Their teeth are equally sharp, but typically males have a stronger bite.
At least that's the personal experience I had :roll:

Dunno, but the one time my male dragon bit me as an adult while I was hand feeding him, it did result an injury more akin to lacerations than punctures. He got a cricket AND my finger, so he kept biting thinking that it was a tough cricket. Oh, there was also a bruise underneath my fingernail where his teeth pattern was visible until it finally grew out. :lol:

Lol! Maybe it is that boys have a stronger bite. Though when ours got me, it left 4 little puncture marks on my finger like they have tiny incisors near the front of their mouth, maybe for holding females during mating?

And ouch! Boyfriends big beardie (Beardie, I know so clever) mistakes my smaller fingers for baby carrots occasionally.. :lol: He's an old fella though so he gets a break. Heck hes had senile moments where he walks off the side of the couch...in which case results in both the boyfriend and I frantically diving to catch him. Pretty sure he knows we'll catch him so he isn't too concerned about falling.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
