Splitting Dragons up after being together awhile?

[IonBob00]

Hey all, new to the forum here and I just had a quick question to ask. My brother and I would like to get two baby bearded dragons for our 55 gallon setup, with intentions of either moving them to a larger tank within a year or eventually splitting them up when we no longer live in the same house. Is It a bad idea to keep bearded dragons together for a few months to a year and then split them up? Will it cause health and eating problems?

it depends on the dragon and how sensitive it is to change.

Any little change will upset a bearded dragon, but they do better living separately. Please read the following before deciding whether to house two beardies together, regardless of age:

It definitely depends on the beardies. I have housed them together up to 6 months, and then I have females that still live together. My females are very docile and I have no issues with the at all. NEVER keep 2 males together over 6 months. Your best bet if getting 2, and wanting to keep them together for awhile is to get 2 females.

Thanks guys, I was planning on doing two females anyway, but it looks like that's a bad idea too. Appreciate the insight.
