seperate them immediately, in honesty why did you think it was a good idea to get a male to join her? did you research? i doubt it else you would have seen that they are naturally solitary and prefer to be alone. Also you now have a problem as i guess both are adults? so she may be gravid? Also you need a new set up for your male to keep them seperate. Even reputable breeders dont keep their mating pairs together all the time.

SEPERATE THEM thats the only solution

And the glass dancing is normally an attention seeking thing, it normally stops when they have settled a little.

Can you tell me about your set up please?

Re: Female Bearded Dragon - Help! (Pic included)

i commented before reading the other posts. i hope you would listen to other members considering you are the one who asked for advice. its quite clear you have researched very little and your vet sounds like a complete moron- any vet my rep goes to is qualified and the first thing they would say if presented with your situation is that they need to be seperated. The fact you said you vet said'she glass danced as she was in season is the biggest load of balls ive heard. 1. a rep vet knows beardies dont have seasons.

Im trying to be calm, in this post but im furious that you blatently made it up and wont lsten to well given advice from other members. they dont try to inconvienence you, they are trying to help you so you have two healthy beardies.

Re: Female Bearded Dragon - Help! (Pic included)

I have 3 beardies 2 females and a male!
we housed one of the females with the male for a year and didnt have any problems until they mated and thats when i found that the male wanted her all the time! So to be honest putting a male and female in together isnt a problem unless they are mating!
If you want to keep the male beardie just house them seperatly!
Also you may want to get a nesting box as she could be pregnant after mating and will need somewhere to lay..completely up to you if you want to incubate or not. If you want any help about the pregnancy and eggs if it does turn out she is gravid i am happy to help as iv just hatched my 2nd clutch!

Re: Female Bearded Dragon - Help! (Pic included)

My ex and i made the naive mistake of keeping males and females together...lets say our female beardie was near enough savaged by the male, he pulled scales of the back of her head and sides. If you're running the risk of mating the expect the expense that comes with it. We worked it out and around 1500 to 2000 pound to rear a healthy clutch of eggs.

If you do get eggs my advice would be to destroy them in the most humane way possible - freezing them i do believe (do correct me). Glass dancing is noisy, but maybe the beardie just wants to be interacted with?

As for coming into season? I didnt think the reptlian reproductive system worked in that way? I know they have an optimum breeding season, but one of ours became gravid in January, hardly great breeding conditions (although the temp was ofcourse regulated within the viv).

Do your research PLEASE! Yes beardies are incredibly forgiving and can put up with a lot, but that doesnt mean they deserve to be treated like c*** through ignorance.
