My boys have both their beardies (one male, one female) housed together in a 48" tank. They are around 3-4 months old and seem happy together for now. I am watching closely and have never seen any of the 'signs' (arm waving, beards, tail up etc ) which show tension. If I do see any sign, we will separate them, but until then, I like to have them together - they actually seem to enjoy each other's company.
My question relates to lights-out time. Usually we would put their lights out at about 8-8.30pm (which gives them approx 13 hours of light), but Ruby will often find a dark corner an hour before that and take herself off to bed. If we turn the lights off earlier, Dexter sits on the rock looking at the (now dark) lightbulb as if he's saying "what happened, I'm not ready for bed yet...")
Ruby does not have a hide - would that be a good idea? Thanks for any input.
