Keeping more than 1 bearded dragon together

I recently bought 2 beardies. I was told they were both girls. Well they are about 4 months old and I have a female and male. Should I keep them together? They are great together right now but I am afraid of the male becoming aggressive later on when he is wanting to mate! Any suggestions

Please do NOT keep them together. Even if they did manage to stay healthy and not kill one another right away, he could literally mate her to death when he hits maturity.

They really are solitary animals so keeping them together regardless of sex is never recommended. One will always dominate the other either by fighting or subtle ways like sitting on top of the other. I would separate them ASAP.
