Bearded Dragon & Enclosure :D

[Reffy]

Hi,

As some of you know i got my first bearded dragon spike he is 19 Months, well a week ago i finally got his gf Flair she is 2 years.
Just a quick question the pet shop i got her off from down south said she may be pregnant as he saw her mating with on of the male she use to live with so my question is this can i still keep them in the same enclosure or could it cause problems also what are the signs and how long does it take to tell if she is pregnant?

Here are some pics of the cage and Spike and Flair


Hope you enjoy

a few days before she lays she will normaly stop eating & start acting restless. my female started to eat every thing
i keep my apart male is a big bully even though she is bigger
i think you can feel them & she'll get fat as

Hey nice lizards and enclosure seems like you take alot of care of your lizards
nice job keep it up

its a good idea to keep males and females seperate, males will constantly harrass the female, uninterested females may end up injured, or injuring the male, responsive females can be bred to death, its hard work for the girls.

i keep my males seperate too, i wouldnt put my girls thru that, they dont like the attention at all.

awesome setup tho!!

Hi,

I thought that might happen but he doesn't really try to mate with her atm, imo they are happy together always sleeping in same hide even though i did two for a reason

and thanks that is the best conversion me and my b/f Michael did xD

Simplely amazing enclosure! looks fantastic! great idea!
and I think it would be safer to block the two halfs off so she doesnt get bullyed out of food.

Hi thanks ,
We feed them crickets separetly and they have separet veg7fruit dishes which they never flight over if anything she eats more but yeah they only eat from there own dish so its not really a problem...

well as long as they are both eating well that seems fine make sure you have alot for the mother-to-be tho XD

 

[Reffy]

i don't think she is pregnant its been a couple week and she hasn't gotten fatter and i cant feel any "bumps" in her belly

 

[Shadowfoxpika2]

awww thats sad but at least shes just a fat and healthy lizard =3

 

[Reffy]

haha true

 

[nagini-baby]

with my big girl i dont feel lumps until the week before she is foing to lay them. im actually thinking she may be gravid atm.. is she gaining weight?

 

[Reffy]

A little i think but that could be cause i feed her more crickets then the pet shop i got her off (only 10 every 2 to 3 days....) But i got her a Month ago how long are the gravid for?
