I'd like to introduce myself and my beardie.

[JRyan]

Hey, I'm Jessica and my bearded dragon is Petri.
He is about 6 months, and finally growing. He has shed about 3 times in the past month and is growing more every day!
I did have one question.
If I was to get another one, I would want to have them in the same tank. Is there any good way to introduce them to each other, or should I just not even try?
Here's a pic of me and Petri, I'll also post a pic of him more recently, seeing as he is bigger now.

hi jessica!

petri is so cute, i love the look on his face as he is "hugging" the branch in his viv.

it is my understanding that you should not keep 2 BDs in the same viv. if they are both male, they will eventually fight for dominance (alpha male), and males & females should only be introduced for mating purposes.

hope that helps...

Hello Jessica

Very cute pictures. I too would not recommend housing dragons together. Especially since Petri is a male, he'll be reaching that stage where he displays dominance to anything that will pay attention, even reflections :shock: .

Males really thrive being solitary.

Thank you for the suggestions, I wont try having them together.
I've been looking at the viv pictures on this site and have got some great ideas, and I think I'll build one for my next one.
