Beardie that hates to be alone???

[DragonsInKansas]

Here's a weird one for you all. My beardie, Roscoe, almost always has stress marks, except for when he's with another dragon. It's the weirdest thing. He'll be stressed and I'll put him with another dragon and he'll go back to being white bellied and happy, he'll eat his salad, roam around, then I put him back in his cage and he goes back to being stressed. Just found it extremely odd. Thought I'd share.

Even if it gets rid of his stress marks, it's not a good thing to put two of them together unless it's for mating. The odds are strong that you'll wind up with a maimed and injured dragon. Roscoe might have domination issues??? Also, I doubt that he really knows what's good for him. Just for the heck of it, find him a small stuffed animal that he can crawl all over and lets see if that turns his belly white. Merlin likes to sit on top of his stuffed puppy which is just a little smaller than he is.

Yea, I don't house him with anyone. All of my dragons live alone. I just found it bizzare and thought I would share. My only guess is that since he was kept with other dragons when he lived with the breeder that he just isn't used to being alone yet.
