How do introduce a male bearded dragon with a female?

i have a female beared dragon which is yera old and im wanting to breed. the pet shop has reserved me a male which is a few month old. how do i introduce them both?
Answers:
1 year and the other 2 months not a good combo. the male will not be able to breed till he is around 5-7 months old. but basically to introduce them you put the male in with the female and watch them if she acts agressive towards him you will have to remove him till he is more her size. if they are the same size he should be the dominant one by bobbing his head and she will show her subdominance by head floating and arm waving. her head goes down slowly then back up a little quicker usually with an arm wave. if she shows dominance over him there is a good chance she could harm him. its never a good idea to keep 2 beardies in the same cage for a very long period of time. the breeding process can get pretty violent and may cause you a trip to the vet as the male tends to bite the females skin around her neck. also have you considered carefully your plan to breed? you will need equipment and other things that can be answered in a quick search through YA about beardie breeding.

well if they have names you can say well this here female is so and so, and then they will be introduced, easy, unless the dragon comes from wales then you will have to say (a duma

Hello...carefully introduce them %26 watch to see how things go..especially if there is a big difference in size..most reptiles are solitary %26 only like each other when it's breeding time..also depends on what size the habitat is that you have them in.a 20 gallon tank is not big enough for 2 most definately %26 you might have to seperate them if they fight as some will fight to the death or sustain injuries that can cause death...Take Care :)
put them into one cage..make sure that there s a nice romantic music playing, clean tablewear etc..bearded dragons might prefer green lighting.
we have 2 females and a male.
they are all about the same age but we only got the male a few months ago.
when we got it we just put him in the same vivarium and then they start nodding and waving at each other.
just watch them for a bit obviously incase there is a bit of a scrap (unlikely.)
and the male shouldnt be under 6 months.
if it is then you should probably separate him from the female until he's 6-8 months.
