Sooooo… im a bad beardie mom. We’ve had ace for almost two years, and i never really questioned what gender his breeder said he was. Well, i was attempting to clean his tail and nether regions cuz he likes to drag his tail thru his business, and he hates baths so he doesnt get them as often as he should. Anyway. Im really starting to question if ace isnt actually a girl.
Yall are pretty experienced so I’d like your thoughts. Sorry for the dirty poop shoot.
So i actually did the flashlight method. Ace is a boy. With beardied dragons both genders can have femoral pores, and their hemepene bulges are in the tail, not netween the legs as with most geckos.
While this is true the first two pics is the standard and more reliable way to check beardies. Id say this animal is most likely a male just not a very prominent hemipenal bulge. I have a similar male.
