Hello! Can someone explain how housing two beardies could work or if it could? I have a male citrus beardie thats about 4 months old and i was wondering if theres any way that i could house another with him. If so how?

Hello! From what I've seen with my male, and read about on other posts, I dont think males can be housed log term with other beardies, as (mine at least :p) are very territorial and hooman, and are likely to fight with other males or stress out females. If you wanted to have two I suppose a large tank with 2X everything might work? So two basking spots, two hides etc so they didn't have to fight, but I'm not sure how big a cage would have to be to facilitate that. Hopefully someone else can give more advice :D x

I still say no. A week or so ago, we had 2 females (which supposedly get along better) one with MULTIPLE limbs bitten off. It was horrific. They are territorial, solitary animals. They like human companionship sometimes, but not other lizard friends. If you had some type of massive tank (like 100gal) you MIGHT be able to divide it in half with a separator, but they still shouldn't be able to see the other. Also remember that 2 babies will cost a whole lot of money.

I'm so sorry about your beardie, is she doing better? :( Yeah i have to say that we dont let our two mix due to size and sec differences and the fear of something like you've described above happening,really hope she's ok! X

It wasn't Jess's dragon that got attacked, Jess has a good grasp of dragon husbandry ;)
But dragons always do better housed separately. The pictures of bitten off arms, legs, feet, and crushed baby skulls are a testament to that.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
