Keeping Beardies Together

Hey everybody, I'm pretty new here, but I have had a bearded dragon for 8.5 years. Recently I finished building a 7 foot high, 3 separate tanks enclosure, each tank is about 70 gallons. I'm still waiting to finish getting my lighting and other accessories, but in the meantime I have been really unsure if I should get just 1 beardie or try to go with 2(both female if I get 2). I know about buying more feeders and all that, but what my main question I have is, what's everyone's opinion about keeping beardies together in one tank or should I just stick with 1? Thanks!

Unless you have the infrastructure to keep them separated, I would only get one. Two in the same enclosure can cause problems/harm. They don't tend to like eachother very much. If you have multiple enclosures with proper lighting etc then you can get more than one and keep them in the same house. If you have them out together, they should be very closely supervised (I'd advise taking them out at different times though).

Yeah I'll probably just get 1 for now and buy more in the future once I get the other tanks setup with lights and all the other stuff. Thanks for the reply!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
