How long do you have to wait to accurately sex a bearded dragon?
I just recently started breading bearded dragons, I have 12 remaining from my first batch and nowhere can I find an estimated time on when I can accurately sex them. I know they would have to be approximately 6in. But neither of my books, or any websites I have been to have said anything about time. I know it varies, though I am really just looking for an estimate.
Also I am looking for a good care sheet for beardies that I can print to give out to my buyers. Normally I am against breeding any pets, though beardies have been proven in my area to be a big selling pet, and I have not heard of many needing homes in my area. So in order to avoid people from abandoning them I would like to be able to educate them as much as possible.
Thanks.
It can be a bit difficult unless the BD is large enough, but -rule of thumb- you can usually determine gender around the 3 mo. mark.

All these sites have pretty good care sheets but I don’t agree with the sand on the ones that list it. If washed play sand is used, the dragon should be adult (18 mo.) or older.

You should be able to find what you’re looking for in several of them.

Bearded Dragon : 0823964124 $1.97 The bearded dragon got its name from the spiky flap of skin around its snout. The flap puffs up like a bristly beard when the bearded dragon feels threatened. But the bearded dragon is not nearly as ferocious as it, looks, preferring to run away rather than get into a fight. Natives of the Australian interior, these lizards are popular pets. |
