If your new beardie is an adult, it should be fairly easy to tell. A male will have 2 bumps/bulges right above the vent. A female will have only one bump or none at all. Hope that helped

its only about 8 months old and usally i can tell but for some reason this one is iffy to me lol

well i just looked again and im thinking its a girl but instead of it being like a center bump the bump kinda goes a little wide but theres deffintly no dimple and its actually under the vent on the tail side that you can tell on right?

If there's definately no dimple then it is most likely a girl.

Well this is all too funny to me... When I first got Boogie I thought she was a girl, So I took her in with me to the reptile store to buy some things and he said no a boy. So a boy it was, until I took him into the vet, and we looked and we did not see any bumps, so he became a she. Two week later I decided to check again and low and behold, she or I mean he had two bumps. So far still a boy and that was a few months ago.

So when I told my reptile guy about this, he said he had sold a girl a few month ago and the lady put it with her other female. (Which I am a strong believer in separate VIV's) and the girl turned out to be a boy but did not turn into a boy for a few days.

So the moral of this story is (I just don't get it). I guess when they are ready to tell you, you will know... LOL

Luckily I bought a girl from Tom and Tessie is still a girl... Yippy...
