Will this enclosure work?

[Roger95]

I currently have a 125 gal acrylic tank that I would like to put dragon/s in. It is 6 feet long and 18 inches deep. I was wanting to put two dragons together. I have had snakes and other lizards in the past so I have a bunch of furnishings for this enclosure. Tons of lighting and heating options. Bowls, hide boxes and rocks. I have it all. I want to use either carpet or shelf paper for a substrate. My plan was to put in a divider when they are small and remove it as they get bigger. So what do you think?

You can put the divider in, but keep it in.

Why? Is this gonna be too big for two. If so I'll scrap the idea. Don't want a big enclosure if half of it is gonna be empty.

Beadies should not live together. They are very territorial and living together will stress them both and cause injury or worse to the less aggressive dragon.

Is this too big for just one?

I don't think there is such a thing as "too big" for an adult beardie (unless your enclosure is larger than Australia :wink: ).
Babies might have trouble hunting down feeders if you enclosure is too large.

If you feed in a separate tub, that's not a problem though. Or you can feed crawlies that stay in bowls (though my phoenix worms escape much more often than I am comfortable with, I find them under the paper towels in Charlie's viv at the end of the day).

I too have a 125g tank. It is divided in half and it houses my two male beardies seperatly. That is how I would do it....
