hey
i have an adult pair of shinglebacks (what i was told) which i swapped for other lizards, i have come to the realisation that they once were wild only when i keep them outdoors they sometimes 'flash' at me but dont do it indoors, other wise theyre realy tame,

the one that was said to be male would try bite the female on the tail or body then she would get startled and literally run around the enclosure with him chasing her, i am not 100% sure of sex but its wat i was told. is this breeding behaviouir ??
btw this is outdoors only not inside in approximately 2 meter square enclosure.

i also have a breeding pair of eastern blueys but they seem to be really lazy and dont take interest in each other (even though they have bred for a number of consecutive years)
there outside as well.
any help / advice?
thanks
 
We have a pair of proven breeders and the main difference between these two is that the male has a much larger head.

I suspect our female is pregnant because she seems to have lost interest in food... the same cannot be said for the male.
 
Post some pics of each, so people can compare. It sounds like mating behavior but males can also chase other males in a similar manner with not so good results....
