cuviceps Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hi, I am new to keeping reptiles, have a few now and all are healthy and eating and get on with each other. I need to sex a Bearded Dragon, can't seem to upload a picture though, it has been years since I was on here in fish forums.

HarrysHerps Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 There are plenty of tutorials on youtube and it is simple enough. Simply sit your bearded dragon flat on your hand, lift up its tail quite high and check whether it has two small lumps at the base of the tail, if it has them its a male as they have two hemipenes but these become more visible as they get older. Try comparing it with other photos on the net, good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuviceps Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yeah I've seen all that online and have literature on hand, was trying to get informed answers from people in the know and would like to be able to post a pic for reference but can't seem to...

alanmin4304 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 The above is a good explanation of what to do. Two lumps-male, one lump or no lump-female. How old is your beardie? I can't help with the pictures, I have only just figured it out again myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 edited: The femoral pores don't seem overly visible too me, nor does the hemipenis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrysHerps Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 There are a couple large femoral pores which indicates a male but a better view of the hemipenes on the tail would be good. Also head size and shape as a larger head would be male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 It is a male but it would be a lot easier if you did it the way suggested earlier and hold the reptile right way up and lift its tail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
