My mother in law has a friend who wants to give me her sons 2 beardies since I have 2 already. do you think my cage is big enough? Its 6ftLx2ftWx4ftH. She said I could have their tank but I just don't have room.
 
make sure they have no diseases and be ready seperate
 
I would not keep 2 males together but I think that the enclosure is big enough for 4 adult beardies. just keep some sort of divider on hand in case they do not get along.
 
Humm, it will be kind of crowded, check sex first and be consciencious about the possible outcome (males will figth, keep separeted and if animals of the oposite sex are present breeding will happen) see if they get along and be prepared to separate at any time. Put more basking places and food bowls
 
spam much?
 
Yeah I figured if I ended up with 2 females my one male would be a happy camper. I was going to pick them up when I was in Gainesvile but the lady never called me back so we will see next time I'm in town. Thank for all the imput guys. Ill update when they come in :]
 
Your male can kill the females from hassling them all the time to mate...plus one will establish itself as the dominant and take all the food, best basking spot...etc...

Honestly, a 4' x 2' x 2' is the suggested minimum for one beardie...but to each their own, just be careful and watch all of them if you still get them
