Today my parents bought me a pair of beardies! He knew I had a tank we built a while back so he decided to get me a pair of beardies because one of his friends son didnt look after them much. There both adults as far as I can tell and its a pair forsure. They've been together for almost ever the guy said. Now the male has a little cut or something on his mouth. Im assuming its from rubbing against the glass but im not to sure. Im going to get a fecal done whenever they do their thing.
Also, ive never bred or read anything on breeding beardies. Well all I know is that you need a laying box that is just a large rubbermade with sand and a hole at the top and I was told they need a cooling period. Is this right?
Also how can I tell if the female is pregnant now...and if not is it normal she isnt even though shes been with a male for a very long time? Is their anything I need to do to activate their breeding responses.
The darker one (if you can tell) is the male and the lighter is the female. The male has the thing on his lip (herpies

) the one in the back of the group shot is the male
