Sooo, not sure if you know us yet, but my boyfriend and I have two beardies, about two months old each now. Razual is his, Lennon is mine.
We upgraded them to their proper twenty gallon tanks today, and put them on top of my new, longer dresser. They have both been arm waving incessantly. We assumed this was because of the new surroundings, that since they were up off the ground now, they were a bit nervous to be seeing more of peoples' faces than feet.
But, maybe half an hour ago, we just sort of realized that they were looking at each other! I didn't think they could see that far, but we put an experimentary piece of paper between them, and the behaviors stopped. Took it down, they started again. So no coincidence apparently.
The curious part was this; during all this waving, Lennon began to slowly do a few push-ups. At first we thought they were head bobs... but then he(??) raised himself up on his toes, came back down, and did it again.
So! I'm wondering, do male dragons ever do push-ups, or do I have a female? Is this a for sure way to tell? I checked under the tail and sort of guessed that he was a boy, but I have no experience so I don't doubt that I did it wrong. If I posted a picture, could anyone tell at this age?
( For the record, I'm not biased against females or anything, just surprised by this activity. I'll still keep him if he's a her and all. )
