Male or female??

[Mike1992]

Hello everyone. I have had my bearded dragon since January and have been told that it is a female. I'm still not 100% sure tho. Can anyone tell me if Zoey is a Zack? Thank you

Looks more male, but post a pic with the tail arched back a bit higher. You can also try this :

I was going to do that later to double check because I had tried earlier but all I had was a cellphone flashlight and I didn't see anything. It's hard to see in the pic's but under his or her tail looks like a half circle with the rounded end towards her head. That's why I had thought female

What is prominent there are the 2 slight bulges above the vent, on either side of the tail.

How old are they typically when you can usually determine this?

With many dragons you can tell even as hatchlings. The tiny hemipenes look like tiny sticks under the skin. But as babies, some that aren't showing hemipenes may be more apparent a month or so later, so babies can be iffy.

I tried the light and didn't see anything but I took more pics.

What do you think?

He is a he .

Well that's gonna take some getting used to. I've been calling him Zoey for 4 months lol

Joey?

Lol I had thought that at first but that's my dad's name. Decided to go with Zack. Caught on quick. Also, wanted to thank you and AHBD again for the advice you had given me back in January when his leg got twisted. As you can see now he's back to 100% and is definitely a lot bigger since then

You're welcome, glad to help as I'm sure the other posters are.

General consensus is still male?
