2 babies in one tank, one is growing faster. Help?....

So right now I have two 3 month old beardies in a 40 gallon breeder tank. One beardie is growing fast and has already shed, the other one looks bigger than when I got it but not nearly as big as the other. I had a beardie before that lived 7 years,so I know what I'm doing. I've never had two together though. There is plenty of basking light and a 10.0 UVB reptisun bulb. My temps are 105 on the warm side and 85 on the cool side. I keep water and greens in the tank. I take them out and put them in a smaller container to feed them crickets and they both eat well. Any info on why one would be growing and the other isn't really growing would be helpful. Thanks

Hi. The reason that one is smaller than the other is do to dominance. That's why you really should not house them together. Beardies are solitary and territorial. I would put a divider in there if you can't afford another set up right a way. But yeah 2 dragons = 2 enclosures. Also a 40 gallon is minium for ONE adult .
