I have 2 bearded dragons (Shocker and Savage) - my partner and I bought them at a pet store and was advised they were about 3-4 months old, we have had them for a month (they both live in the same tank) and the Shocker we thought was male (due to it's size compared to the other beardies) has gained quite a bit of weight (it is a bit hard to tell as Savage was recently unwell and lost a bit of weight so Savage is quite smaller at the moment), Savage has started acting very skittish, appetite has increased and last night was digging. I had a feel of Shockers stomach today and I may have felt 1 bump. I am not sure if I am just overreacting and jumping to conclusions. I have also noticed Shocker has been doing a lot of those submissive waves to Savage which has never been the case until the last few days.
From what I understand bearded dragons should be about 18 months before they should be allowed to be breed. If Shocker is pregnant then she is only about 4-6 months old, is this too young and bad for her health?
Sorry about the short novel, I am new to bearded dragons and told they were too young to have their sex checked so didn't think having them together would be an issue. Any advice would be great.
I ended up taking Shocker along to the vet along with Savage. The vet advised that Shocker is a definitely a girl and not pregnant and that Savage is also most likely a girl.
