How to Sex your Bearded Dragons
There is much speculation on sexing bearded dragons from if it waves to how often the beard turns black. By watching the characteristics of your beardie you may be able to work it out but you cannot be certain.
The best way is just to have a look. By looking under the tail you will be able to tell the sex of bearded dragons when they are about 8" in size. When you have a look, take note of both the vents and bulges. A male will have 2 separate bulges and a female just one or none at all as you can see from the diagram below.

To do this just hold your bearded dragon and pull up his/her tail gently and have a look.
Please do not use the technique of probing. Only a vet should use this method as this can cause serious harm to your pet.
If you are not sure or confident in trying to sex your dragon, take it to your local reptile shop whom should be able to help you identify your beardies gender.
