Just put a new beardy in with my other beardy

[Crispy]

Right I wonder if anyone could help. I got a 3- 4 month old beardy girl, she’s been living in her 4ft tank for a few months alone. Picking up a new beardy when the tank arrives. We got talked into getting another beardy for buttons as it has a twisty tail. The reptile expert said that the 2 girls should be ok living together. So yesterday picked up the new girl and put her in the tank with our original girl (the new one is slightly smaller) our original one was being aggressive towards her, this morning took the new girl back til the new tank is there as we didn’t want her to be scared or hurt. The bloke said maybe try the twisty tail one in with our original one as ours seems a little bit hostile and more aggressive. So not long put the new twisty tail in with her, twisty tail is a male and slightly larger than her. Our one was eyeballing him for ages, twisty tail climbed on the log she was on and layed on her back (which is what she was used to in store) our orignal one was waving at him but didn’t puff up or anything. Our orignal girl jumped off log to the other side of tank, then the new twisty male starting waving at her a lot and still doing it now. Does anyone know what this could mean?

Dragons are never to be housed together-- they are territorial -- two males will fight and kill - two females one will become dominant over the other one and male/ female the male will want to breed constantly- please separate them - the breeder should know this-- the waving of the arm is submission and is a sign if mating- head bobbing is dominance-- please separate them before the baby gets hurt

If you have a 75 gallon tank. Which is giant. You can keep the two together. But any smaller the larger one will kill the smaller one. So I would separate them immediately. It is not healthy to keep them together in a small cage. Make sure they each have at least a 20 gallon as babies and when they are adult a 50-75 gallon each

I would never house two bearded dragons together

They seem to be getting on ok, not for life I know

Not a good idea-- dragons can turn in an instant and you could have a dead one in no time

They always say that two females are good as 'tank-mates' but that is never the case.

In the wild, it's rare that two dragons are seen together as a 'mated' pair. A male and female will get together only to mate. Then they part ways. Females lay the eggs and leave them. No dragon will ever stick together for life. They will always go their separate ways.

Now, two males or females will fight over a territory. It's not a pretty sight to witness. It will result in bitten tails, chewed off toes, or worse, their lives. One victor, one unfortunate beardie. Cohabbing is a dangerous thing to do.

Beardies are solitary reptiles. Your older girl has established the tank she lives in as hers and hers only. Introducing a new beardie into her territory will have some 'results' you wish to avoid.

The breeder should have known better than to suggest that cohabbing two females are fine when it's not.

Never ever house to Beardies 2gether ever!!! One will always suffer!! We rescue and rehome all the time and that’s a big NoNo get a separate tank ASAP?! They need to have their own basking and need to be feed 5 times a day lots of protein; at this age crickets and Dubias also tank is dark u need the Reptisun 10.0 T5 for UVb and he ZooMed basking bulb for heat. Also the 2plates of staple greens and veggies or when older they wiol
Never eat them. Never colored or coiled bulbs ever and dark at nite. Temp at nite needs to be 78-80 for a baby under 6mnths old so buy a ceramic heat emitter which emits heat and no light. rite now tho get another tank for the other Beardie.
