Getting a Second Beardie

[crashman91]

Hey guys and gals,

Right now, I have Thora, she's about 1 year old, full grown beardie. I'm thinking about getting a second one. I currently have a 55 gallon tank which she has more than enough room to roam around all day. I'm however thinking about getting another one. Would you suggest getting a second tank to keep her in, or do you think I would be able to keep her in the tank with Thora. Just trying to get some input on thoughts. Thanks guys!

So glad you decided that!!!! I know our full grown one when he was out would try to eat our baby through the glass on the aquarium (only took once to move it where he couldn't see it anymore poor baby scared to death!) and he would try to eat the fish in the fish tank through the glass so anything smaller than them they will attempt to eat. I imagine a baby wouldn't last long at all with a bigger dragon.

Glad you reconsidered.

:lol: :lol: :lol: That thread is amazing. I just had to laugh at your reaction...!

Long story short, I bought one beardie and we received the wrong one, so I decided to keep her and pay for the 'right' beardie, and they came from the same breeder and are cousins, and both females.

We knew not to house them together either way, but I just set them on the FLOOR next to each other and within 10 minutes one tried to bite the other. :silent: It was 'suggested' to us to put them in the same tank until we could afford a bigger tank, but thankfully we have this website and we are all a little smarter for it. :lol:

People who don't listen to common sense and cohabitate are really lame IMO
