Not all animals enjoy being with a mate or two. Some of them want to live their lives in isolation because when they have others around them, chaos starts.
The same concept is true for some reptiles, such as bearded dragons. You can house these species together, but be sure to follow the guidelines. Here are some of the things that you need to consider:
- Use a large enclosure, at least 125 gallons, if you plan to house two bearded dragons. Doing so will give your pets enough space to move around and about, and for them to have a space to call their own.
- Keep bearded dragons in one tank if they are of the same size. Do not combine a large dragon with a small one because the former might outlast the latter.
- Do not place more than one male bearded dragon in a tank. They might fight a lot.
- Do not combine a female bearded dragon with males unless she is already two years old and ready to breed.
