Hi, not totally new to bearded dragons, but it's been about 12 years since the one I had as a kid passed away. I've been working towards finally getting a pair and I finally pulled the trigger on the first one!

So cute!

You forget how tiny they are. But they grow so fast!

Welcome to the forums!
Out of curiousity, does he happen to have a friend named Ratchet? :lol:

Not yet! He had a tank mate that I couldn't afford this week, so I'm going back next Monday to pick up Ratchet.

Hehehe. That game series is probably my 1st-3rd favorite game series ever.
Are you planning on housing them separately? cause if you aren't, I highly suggest that you do not put them together in the same tank, especially if even one of them is male.
Bearded dragons are territorial animals and tend to dominate other beardies when kept together. This can lead to stress and a lack of eating, as well as missing limbs and other serious injuries if they attack each other.
There have been cases of dragons having to get all of their limbs amputated because of tank mates. The beardie actually survived without any limbs for a long time, but that's cause he was rescued and cared for well.
Even if they seem like they get along well, you will often times miss the signs of domination till its too late.

Duly noted. Would housing them together temporarily be fine? They're both currently only a few months old and I was planning on getting a second tank some time in the next couple of months.

I couldn't tell you for certain cause every beardie is different, but it is still a high risk and I would advise against it. If you need to wait for a tank, I would advice either using something like cardboard to separate their sides of the tank (while still providing correct uvb and temperatures) or putting one of them in large plastic bin like the one below (same conditions).
