Hey Everyone,
I've got 2 bearded dragons each are 18 months old. I've had them sexed by a VET and I’ve been told I definitely have a male and female. My female brumated for about 2 months, occasionally coming out and moving around but usually ends back up in her hidy hole. The male didn’t really brumate to much, he was always out running around. The female is now much more active, eating lots more. However lately i've been noticing the female biting the male on the chin, the neck and on the side of his face. I've been doing alot of reading and searching on the forums to seek some advice but it seems to be that this act is usually done by the male. But i know for sure that it's the female thats biting the male. I can tell the difference between the two from when i took them into the VET to get a check up the male was much light and has always been much lighter than the female, shes always remained quite dark.
Theres plenty of arm waving, head bobing action going on, it swaps as to whos doing what. Sometimes its the male doing the head bobbing and the female doing the waving and vise versa.
Is she just trying to show her dominance? The male seems to just put up with it, he’s getting a few scuff marks under his chin which has prompted me to seek some advice.
Thanks,
Luke
