Only temporarily while very small.
Best to separate then and raise them in their own personal tanks.
Options are :
> take the existing tank and partition it into two equal sized partitions (will need to make adjustments to the lighting (a shared basking globe and shared t5ho 12%UVB tube in a shared reflector hood) will work if the basking light is placed directly over the blocking ( can't be seen through) partition and the T5 tube is half over each partition.
> or invest in two same sized commercial tanks and stack them.
> or do as shown here viewtopic.php?f=34&t=233480

Separating them will ensure both have equal access to food and basking , and eliminate the risk of one being dominated by the other resulting in one thriving the other not , and takes away the risk of one attacking the other. Bearded dragons are happier living alone, only meeting other bearded dragons very briefly at mating season.

They are siblings and 3 months old. When do they start matting? I need to know so I can separate them.

You'll wind up with dominance problems a long time before she is mature enough and large enough to mate and carry eggs SAFELY.

They need to be separated RIGHT NOW ….

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
