We have recieved many questions concerning sexing bearded dragons. And so... what we decided to do is take some good pictures of sub-adult (12 inch dragons) to show the physical difference between males and females. It is really hard to tell the sex of a dragon that is smaller than 6 inches... but this method works well for dragons 6+ inches.
 

- Hold your dragon in one hand - supporting its belly and front limbs.If its a smaller dragon, rest it on 2-3 fingers with your thumb on itsback.
- Take the tail (about half way) in your other hand and arch it straightup at about a 90 degree angle. Carefully! On a smaller dragon, you may need to 'gently twist' the tail by rolling it between your fingers & thumb to expose the 2 hemipenile bulges.
- Look to just above the vent for 2 bulges in a male dragon.
- Look just at the edge of the vent, in the center - for 1 bulge (or sometimes nothing) in a female dragon.

**WARNING - DO NOT bend the tail too far towards the dragons head! This could break the vertebra at the base of their tail!!
