Boys in the same room

[Pushkin]

Those of you who have multiple male dragons - do you have to keep them in separate rooms? Mine are currently in separate rooms, but I am moving into a new townhouse soon, and would love to be able to keep both tanks in the guest room. However, they both puff up and head bob when they are around each other, and I don't want to stress them out. Will they get used to each other or should I keep them in different rooms?

I keep my beardies in the same room because I don't have a choice. They're on opposite sides where they can only see each other if they really want to. My adult male doesn't care about my baby female at all. She even jumped onto the bed and got in his face a couple days ago. He did nothing. She's stressed a lot but I don't know if that's because of him or because she needs a new tank.

It's best to keep them out of sight if at all possible, most dragons will be very stressed, especially during the breeding season. They will have the desire to mate or fight. And Brit, be very careful....that is like playing Russian roulette to let a baby near an adult. There are enough threads on this forum that start out with " my dragon never showed any aggression but today it bit the foot, crushed the head, etc. And I've seen it in person at reptile shows, of which I've been to many hundreds in different states, where at times a baby gets in the tank with an adult and gets killed. You are best to keep them apart....they are not friends. Be careful Brit !

I have 2 males and 1 female in one room and 2 females and 1 male in another. None can see each other but Ember and Spyro go nuts when Toki is awake. They must smell/sense she is awake because they can't see her. They should be okay as long as they can't see each other. Just make sure they can't jump tank. I read a post once where one dragon jumped into the others tank (they were side by side) and one dragon was injured.
