It's not a good idea. Firstly, they would require twice the space of what one beardie needs in an enclosure, so say if you were doing a crossfire you'd need it to be 8'x'4 instead of 4'x2', and most people just don't have that kind of space. Two males together is just a really bad idea because...

I would say save up for another enclosure and separate them when you can afford to do it. Females are the best combination out of the possible combinations, but it's still taking a chance. Things can go downhill very quickly, and it only takes a couple seconds for one female to get aggressive...

Thanks! So, one final question (for now, lol): how much space do you need for a colony? I ask because I'm thinking of moving my colony into the ten gallon that my juvenile leopard gecko is about to move out of, and I'm wondering how many dubia I can have in there.

Thanks! I'll have to do the equation. I just received my starter colony; it has 15 females, 5 males, and 150 mixed age nymphs. I think I'll get more females and a bigger tub once they get more settled. And, how do you tell males from females when they're young? I know the adult males have wings...

Yeah, that's the one. The only reason I don't build my own is because if I did, I would want to go big, and I don't have the room for that now. Pretty much this tank will be an in between until I get my new place and have room to build a big enclosure. She's just too big for a 20 long now so I...

So my baby beardie, Caramel, has finally outgrown her 20 long, and it's time for a new tank. I found an awesome one that swings open in the front so a) I won't have to fight with trying to go in through the top all the time and b) cleaning will be waaayyyy easier. There are two I'm looking at...

I know there are a ton of threads on here about this, but I didn't want to distract from anyone else's issues, so I thought I'd ask my own questions, especially since I intend to have a very small colony. I've just gotten sick of coughing up the money for crickets every week and I want to do...

He's adorable! My girl is shedding at the moment, so she's been prettier :lol: I actually live right on the Vermont border. It's really nice out here. I have twelve acres, a pond, and chickens and ducks that lay me fresh, organic, free range eggs daily! Love it out here :D As soon as...

@Shane: Thanks very much! Drizzle seemed to suit her and she really responds to it, so it just kind of stuck! Does Ruby have her own thread too? I bet she's a real cutie! And the little dragon shed her head today! Turns out the whole time I've had her, she's been dulled out preparing for a full...

Hi guys! I'm 45 minutes away from glens falls, but I'm over there all the time because I work there! I just got my beardie, Drizzle, about a week ago. I'm already working on building her a crossfire. Neat to know there are so many people on here so close by.

Thanks! She is really cute (but I may be biased :mrgreen: ) So, Drizzle it is! She likes it and I like it, and if she ends up being a he, it'll still work! She's very hyper lately. And she seems to be getting fatter - I wonder if she was underfed at the store? She did look a bit skinny. And it...

Not too much exciting happened today. I did get a few good pictures. In the background of the first one you can see the salad she "enjoyed" earlier. And by enjoyed I mean strewed about the cage! She did eat a couple bites, though. Enjoying her basking rock: Really, how is this comfortable...

I just read through this thread and have to say, I LOVE Dudley! He's so cute! Oh, and I can actually give you a little advice on your college plans! I'm in a vet tech program right now. It's a two year deal, and it's really fun! My ultimate goal has always be to be a veterinarian, and going...

Thanks for the input guys! I agree, it's gonna be hard to keep myself from buying another! This little one has already completely won me over. Today was a good day for Nameless. First, I went to the pet store to pick up some things that I realized I needed for her after research. Today she got...

I'm making this thread so I can look back on my memories of my little dragon later. The goal is going to be pictures every day! That probably won't happen, but we'll see. This thread is for me to have memories of my little dragon, so even if no one else reads, that'll be okay. But please do feel...

Just got done bathing the little sweetie. I tried sexing and I think she may be a she - but we'll see as time goes on. I went to get linoleum for her tank and the man who owns the store just gave me a whole role of excess! He was so nice. I'm switching her onto it tomorrow.

Thanks for the welcome, guys! Ugh, the people at the pet store talked me into getting him the calci-sand stuff, and I didn't know how bad it was for them. So, now I'm off to the flooring store to pick up some tile or linoleum. He's already dyed his belly, though :( I really wish people in pet...

Hello everyone! I just got my first beardie three days ago. I saw him in a pet store, and he was so cute and friendly and curious, and looked to be healthy, and I just couldn't resist him! So I got all the supplies needed and he's just so sweet. I say he but I have no idea of gender. He's seven...
