Dragon Bath Time!!

I decided to give all 4 bearded dragons a bath...together! 2 males and 2 females bathing TOGETHER. Yes, it is a big deal, because I was aware that things could have gotten out of hand pretty quickly. Bearded dragons are solitary creatures, they do not like the company of other dragons around them....unless its mating season....which for bearded dragons....IT IS. Males definitely do not get along well when confronted with one another. But I tossed them all in the bathtub anyways, careful to keep an extremely close eye on them. It was fascinating to watch. Rocko, my first bearded dragon, the biggest, oldest, most macho male of the bunch pretty much took control. Rocko's as well as Dexters beard turned a jet black color pretty quickly. Both had an eye on Dharma.....poor maggie didn't seem wanted.....she didn't seem interested anyways; She pretty much kept to herself, enjoying the nice warm water. Dharma seemed as if she wanted some action,  Rocko was always quick to make the moves on her. Dexter, knowing full well that Rocko was the dominant male, just sat back and kind of watched everything, keeping a close eye on Rocko. Overall the bath went pretty well. No mounting took place....Rocko tried a few times, but I always pulled him away before he was able to do anything...I think Dharma was pretty bummed out about it.


Here they are, freshly placed in the tub. Rocko is on the far left, Drinking at the time, unaware of what just happened. Dexter is on the very bottom, Maggie is the bright orange one on top of Dexter, and Dharma is the bottom right.

Things getting interesting...Rocko is the one with the jet black beard, having a stare-down with Dexter...I watched closely to make sure nothing happened....nothing did.

Here is Rocko and Dexter having their stare-down...they were in this position for several minutes, don't worry, nothing happened.

Dharma was such a tease...hopping in and out of the tub...there's Rocko and Dexter, the two bachelors in the background trying to "strut their stuff"to impress Dharma

Macho Rocko wins...Dharma was more interested in Rocko (I don't blame her) =P
