yeah it is male, I have a male myself and I sexed him myself with internet help and general female biology information. males=two bulges that represent the hemipenises, females=1 bulge(you should know why)

So you believe mine is a male? I plan on posting more pics in a month or two to get some more opinions when he has aged a bit more.

just from some looking at legs and the area near them, yes. I see femoral holes or whatever they're called, they are on males, but not females. I could be wrong about femoral holes being male exclusive, but I have a male bearded dragon myself and he has the femoral holes across his butt and back legs

Okay awesome! I did read the femoral pores are more pronounced on a male than a female! I will just continue waiting patiently until “he” gets a bit older! I really appreciate your input!

Females do have them, they are just much larger on males. This beardie is probably too young to tell because it hasn't fully developed its pores yet

So if he’s a male I would see two bulges right? I just took this picture today since you guys are telling me he is definitely a boy. I only see one bulge though and when looking at pictures it just seems to resemble closer to what the females look like.

The bulges are probably not fully developed yet. Should be easier to tell when he is at least 7 months

how old is this one? as far as I can tell, maybe 2 months at most

I got him in the beginning of august and he was baby so I’d say 2 months is a good estimate.
