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

Answer
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.
