Here Comes Chomper...

[pacoparrot]

Chomper is my bearded dragon. He loves food and basking. He can be friendly but can also be mean. He lives in a 29 gallon fish tank and has a daytime basking light, a red night light, and a 10.0 uvb bulb. I'm not sure how old he is but he is approx. 13" from snout to tail.

He gets Bearded Dragon Bites, canned grasshoppers, canned crickets, freeze dried crickets, superworms, live crickets, romaine lettuce, carrots, apple. He also gets a multivitamin supplement in the form of both spray and powder and of course calcium powder. He has shed twice since I got him. I give him warm baths sometimes and he gets to hang out with me and explore almost everyday. I do have a few questions.

1. how can I bond better with him? Right now I just set him on my lap and feed him by hand a lot.
2. Do bearded dragons pose a threat to each other? My friend has a larger beardy of the opposite gender and we want them to be friends. How could we introduce them?
