So I always see babies houses with multiples. In the event that I were to get a second. Would I be ok to house the new baby with Rami for a few months until I get my own place in feb?

Granted that the new guy has a clean bill of health?

No. They are territorial and can attack one another. Even innocent things like one laying on the other is a sign of dominance. If your tank is big enough, you can put a divider in and separate them, but then you would have to make sure the UVB and basking light provides for both sides of the tank.

Wow I had no idea! I have a 40 gal breeder. The uvb runs the entire tank. It would just be the heat that's the issue. I still can't get the cool side of the tank lower than 79 80. So adding another heat source will only cook them.

A 40g would be too small to divide for 2. You'd be better off getting a 2nd 40g for the other dragon.
