Pygmy bearded dragon enclosure???????

[rush96]

I have a 2 foot tank and am looking to buy either one or two PYGMY bearded dragons. I know they are smaller than centrals but how much smaller? Is a two foot tank big enough for either one or two pygmys in the long run or would i have to upgrade?
i know its a stupid question but i'm new to this please help

I would really like to know aswell, even here Im having trouble finding information on pygmys. If you do find out of someone knows please post.

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.


THIS IS THE INFO I FRMO SOMEONE ON A DIFFERENT POST (NOT MINE)

Look for Lawson's Dragon rather than Pygmy!

Isn't a Rankins the same thing aswell?

Rankins i believe is the same and they have some different husbandry but should be still only one per enclosure.

My friend has a Rankins dragon, it's pretty small, maybe 8" total.. So a 2' viv should be fine for 1.. and like everyone says, don't house 2 together. However if you ARE going to anyway.. 2 females have the best potential of getting along..
