Stress

Hi, I have two male bearded dragons in separate cages. As soon as i brought the second one home they began bobbing their heads at each other and puffing up and posturing at each other from their cages. I put a visual barrier up between the two cages but they can still see each other through the reflection of my blue tongue skink's cage and they will not stop. I cannot move the cages anywhere else. Is it unhealthy for them to do this a lot? Will they stop on their own? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What type of enclosures do you have? If you use glass tanks, you could put black paper on the inside to block their view. Placing the paper on the outside creates a reflection of themselves that they may head bob at.
