[djarmstrong]

Been thinking of getting a Bearded Dragon or 2 and if i can house 2 togeather ( Can i house 2 togeather ? ) .

Please can you tell me whats the min' enclosure i could house them in ?

Would a 4x2x2Foot glass tank work for life or not ? ( for both if i can house 2 togeather ok ) .

That tank would be ok for one but not 2 A combo that would possibly work would be 2 females however there is no garantee they will get along. a good size for 2 would be 7x4x4 terrarium

A good size for two adult beardies is two 75 gallon aquariums.

lol give me a break. overkill

And why would it be a overkill? Do you want 2 healty active beardys? Well your going to need a cople of basking places and allot more space to avoid conflict. I said it would be the ideal senario

Are you serious? Are you aware of the full size of a beardie, as well as the issues with keeping two of them together? Dude, even my female will tear up another female....


You definitely need a cage that big. Look at it this way: My adult female is a rescue, so she is stunted a bit at 20". Lets say two 24" beardies. You need two separate basking spots, so they don't fight over that. So there is 4 feet right there, if it is side by side, and as a bare MINIMUM. So, you might be able to do it side by side, but most likely, it would have to be one on either end of the cage, so as to limit fighting. There goes 4 feet. With the remaining three feet, you have to create two 2' hiding spots/cool areas, as well as seperate soaking areas (if you aren't planning on bathing them weekly). Don't forget to add seperate bowls for their greens....



Yes, I think that the size Coura threw out there would be ideal. If you are lucky.

Would 4x2x2Foot be ok for one , or would i still have to get bigger ?

4x2x2 would be just fine for a single one.
