Question
Hi i think my BD is a female ... and i was just wondering if female BD's head bob ... she has just moved in to a new vivarium so i think it is a territorial matter .
Thanks Hannah x
Hello, first of all do not house her with any other reptiles. Males tend to do the head bob more often, females during breeding season will do a kind of pushup. If you are not sure of the gender you can check by her vent. On the hind legs males grow femoral spores. Which would look like a Line of bumps on the hind legs.

Expertise
I can answer every question towards the bearded dragon except for questions that deal with sickness and disease. I can answer questions on heating and UV rays, the questions pertaining to food, habitat, bedding, breeding, egg/hatchling care, nature, and attitude are my best. Last, I cannot help you with at home sickness meds, always find a vet within your area. I can answer questions regarding body language and movement. I will try to help you to the best of my ability.
Experience
I have owned 7 bearded dragons. For 6 straight years, I have had my first male and female that i have been raising. Raising my male and female have been such an experience! Breeding them was also a great experience! After my male passed, it made me realize that raising them was one of the best experiences of my life and still currently is.
Education/Credentials
I have no educational cedentials, but i have constant history of bearded dragon research.
