Hello all,
I am the owner of 2 bearded dragons that I housed together up until they were about 7 months. They got along great until that fateful day of January 11th, 2020. I quickly separated them and had to keep them apart until I moved to new apt and then had them in separate tanks but next to one another. So, again, I have two but the 2nd one grew quicker and larger than the 1st and still is. They are both males; Riley and Basil. Basil (2nd one) is and has always been more aggressive than Riley (1st one). But when they were in line sight, all this "glass surfing" business was going on and so I, a week ago, moved them from within line sight. Yet, they both still do this "glass surfing" business.
They are each in 40 gallon tanks- they were purchased as hatchlings last June and 1 week apart, meaning I bought one one week and the other the next week. So they are essentially the same age. I want them both to be happier, I don't handle them much, I've had a flux situation for the last 6 months and was not really able to bond/socialize with them to that point. And these days - simultaneously- they've both cut down on their cricket intake, but they will eat worms. Basil will eat greens more than Riley.
Lots to say- I know - Question is how to stop all this glass surfing- I'm worried.... Yes I do move stuff around all the time and probably should stop but ....shouldn't they be used to it? Oh and exactly how much does the bite hurt?
