keeping male and female together

[rush96]

can you keep a male and a female together from when they are hatchlings ?
would they try to mate because they also happen to be siblings and i would like to avoid mini mutant inbread lizards
(not completely accurate but yuo get my point)

They have on idea they're siblings. Only humans are forced to continue to live with brothers/sisters into relative maturity. :wink:

Definitely separate them.

No they shouldnt be housed together this cause stress on each of the animals, also the male when they mature will want to breed over and over again with the female before they are ready . one can be more dominante then the other thus causing one not to grow as much not get enough food or even time to bask.
There is also the risk of fighting nips of toes and missing tails even sometimes death they also dont know that they are related.
The best thing and good rule of thumb is 1 viv 1 beardie, I myself have 2 beardies right now male and female they have their own vivs they dont like it even when each othet comes close to their home. I also am getting another baby next month and she has her own viv as well.
Its just a better rule of thumb.
Safer for them as well.
Hope that answers your question

ok so you can't keep a male and female together and obviously not two males but what about two females?
I am going to buy either one or two pygmy beardies on the weekend but i only have one tank so guess i have to get one yes?

What the above posters said 1 beardie 1 tank I have 2 beardies they each have their own tanks my new baby that I get next month will have her own tank my 2 geckos have their own tanks hamster has his own cage dog own kennel

You can not house to beardie together in one tank 1 beardie 1 tank
Hope that helps
