young bearded dragons having sex

[Joel9293]

Hey
I was just wondering how young bearded dragons can have sex cause i have a 4 month old one (Shenron) and another one that i dont know how old, im guessing less than a year (Mushu) and they just had sex theyve only known each other for about two days and now Shenron is lying on top of Mushu on the basking rock, can i have some info like will they get pregnant or anything relavant

Separate them!

Your putting the female at risk by housing her with a male that wants to mate.

Bearded dragons do not do well housed together

Getting a female pregnant to young can cause a lot of health problems and even kill them..

Please please for the health and safety of your dragons please keep them in separate cages.

Go buy more. If you cant, then divide their tank in half till you can, Make sure they can not see each other.

Hello,

Yes, unfortunately, you are going to have to separate them.
The male can injure himself & the female, if she gets pregnant too early can have her health be severely compromised.
Are they brother & sister?

Okay then looks like I'll have to separate the tank then and no they're not related

If you saw them having sex they yes.

Even if they where both girls or both boys you need to separate them as soon as you can

If shes pregnant, and she more than likely is, then you need to make her a lay box.

ah okay then well my girlfriend saw it and then we watched youtube vids and then she said it was different to what they were doing, still a chance they were having sex

 

[Joel9293]

oh and also how long till it lays the eggs

If the 2nd dragon is only 4 months old I seriously doubt that any fertilization took place.

What can take place is the larger dragon eating the smaller dragon.

Haha I was waiting for you to jump into this thread Tom : )


Even if the dragons are male male, female female, or male female, the larger one can attack and kill the smaller one. Its not a pretty thing to watch.

It will take about 6 weeks if I remember right for her to lay.

Either way they need their own homes
