Should male dragons be able to see each other?

[carlisv]

Our two unrelated male bearded dragons (Dubs, 10-months old and Richard, 1 year old) are in separate vivs about 6 feet apart. They can see each other, as well as each other's reflections. Usually they don't fuss, but for the last week they've been doing the "bob and wave show" at least half the time, sometimes facing each other and sometimes at each other's reflection. We are not in a position to move the vivs, but should we cover the end of one of the vivs so they won't be able to see each other? Dubs is more hyper and aggressive than Richard, and gets so bent out of shape sometimes that he tears up his viv and slings poop everywhere.

Thanks for any advice!

Yeah, I'd cover the ends. They can get really upset with seeing each other, especially during breeding season.

I had to cover the back and sides of my 3 vivs because they get so stressed out when seeing each other. They only have the front of their viv to see out of now but I don't want them stressed.

Id cover the ends. When we had our tanks we had it wrapped on 3 sides with only the front visible. We dont have to worry about that now after building a new viv, the only glass would be the front doors
