bulldogod Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I got 4 beardies off one breeder and they are all males, Thought I had good chance of one being female :evil: . Anyone got a female to sell, swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougstark Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 They may all have come from one breeder and since sex is determined by temperature then it would be quite easy for this to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 just curious how old are they? Was your breeder from Auckland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varanophile Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 They may all have come from one breeder and since sex is determined by temperature then it would be quite easy for this to happen. seemingly the sex of beardies is not temperature dependent. odds would be .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 = pretty unlucky. put some photos up bulldogod, I may be keen.

I stand corrected. I was led to understand that temperature did have an influence on sex of the young lizards, both by the breeder I got mine from (and mine do seem to be a pair) and it is also mentioned in "The Bearded Dragon Manual" though temperature is not the complete answer. At temperatures ranging from 82 F to 86 F a larger percentage of males are produced at the cooler end of the scale. I do not know personally as mine are yet to breed.

soloman5 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I bought another water dragon in the weekend and the guy I got him off has I think 2 or maybe 3 adult Beardies for sale, or he could be interested in a swap?? I'm pretty sure they were all female. I don't know anything about Beardies but the one I saw up close was friendly and tame and looked really healthy. If you want his number just flick me a pm.

David R Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I got 5 from 5 with my Gymnogeophagus balzanii, and out of the three beardies we bought at least two of them were males, probably all three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsmith Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Aren't monarch caterpillars poisonous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 yes sure are dont feed to anything, i always had swan plants around until getting beardies not worth the risk as caterpillars can move some distance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
