Male or Female? (With pictures. That may not help much.)

So, I've been thinking my Beardie is male. Named him Dodongo. Then took a peak, and in accordance with http://www.repticzone.com/articles/sexingbeardeddragons.html he's a GIRL.

It seems like there's one bump, in the middle, near the vent.

Thanks. Yeah, I have seen that one, too. 8]
I was just hoping for somebody to confirm. This is my first Beardie.
 
My sister raised and sold bearded dragons. If you take the tail and lift it up and back as far as you can then you will be able to tell. On your secound picture it looks like there are two balls. If that is the case then you have a male. The female's don't have anything. All the other pictures look like nothing but the second one really looks like it could be male.

Dexter was sold to us as an adult male..... who has laid 17 eggs :p
So even the sellers can get it squiffy sometimes!

A male will have several "pre anal" bumps that go down the sides of the legs. So if there are obvious raised bumps that are right before the vent and run down the legs you have a male. If no bumps then Female. Also by lifting the tail is a hard way to tell, only because if you dont have one or the other to compair it can be hard if you dont know what your looking for, but the female opening is smaller than the male opening. You can also hurt your dragon if this is not done properly so I dont recomend this.

This is a male showing the femoral pores. They are very obvious by 1 year old. It looks like your Dragon is smooth from your pictures no obvious bumps like this, so I think you have a female

=O Wow thanks. I hadn't heard about those pores.
I'm pretty convinced I have a girlie on my hands. 8] Thanks a bunch everybody.

I guess I'll watch for those bumpy pores in the next month or so, but I'm not really expecting them now.

Yeah The pores were very obvious on Judah by the time he was like 6-7 months old. So you should be able to see them by now on your dragon.
