When you get your new bearded dragon, you might wonder how to determine its gender. There are many methods, but a very easy method is to check for a bulge in the hemipenum. Male bearded dragons have two bulges while female bearded dragons have just one. The age at which your beardie reaches maturity should help you determine its gender. This way, you will know if it is a male or a female.
When determining a bearded dragon’s sex, you can use a small flashlight to look at its sex organs. The penis is located about halfway down each side of the beardie’s belly, just behind the cloacal opening. Try each method and see which one is most accurate. Make sure to hold your beardie in the correct position to see its sex organs clearly.
If you do not have a flashlight, you can also try a flashlight method to help you determine your beardie’s sex. Holding your pet’s tail at one third of its base and then lifting it up will help you spot bulges. If your beardie has a male sex organ, you should see two defined grooves running vertically down its tail. Make sure your beardie is facing the light when you perform this test to prevent damage to the sex organs.
The physical signs of sex can vary widely between males and females. Male bearded dragons have larger heads, longer tails, and darker beards. The femoral pores on the hind legs also indicate sex. If they are present, they are most likely males. If you do not see any of these signs, you can also check for hemipenal bulges.
You can also determine the bearded dragon’s gender by checking its hemipenal bulges. Male bearded dragons have two bulges underneath their tails, while female bearded dragons have one bulge. If the bulges are visible, the beardie dragon is a male. To test for this, you should hold your beardie dragon on its hind legs and slowly lift its tail. Do not move the beardie at all during this process.
If you are looking to cohabit with your beardie, you can determine its gender by checking its behavior. It is possible to cohabitate with a bearded dragon, but you should check its gender first.

While it is difficult to determine the gender of a baby bearded dragon, you can try to do so using a combination of sexing and watching.

If you cannot tell whether your beardie is a male or a female, the best way to make sure is to sex it when it is at least a year old.
