i havnt tested it out yet i just placed my orders on the research i have been doing for a couple weeks its hard to get everything correct but i can try a 75 watt bulb just one and see how that works i know the babies have been together since they were born and will stay together when shipped i was hoping if i bought them like that there would be less chance of them fighting
ok well thanks for the help i appreciate it and so will my dragons ill check tomorrow to see who is online
Are working with a 30 gallon tall or short tank? Before the babies arrive, I'd pick up another tank for two reasons. They each need basking spots, so as not to fight over the one, which you know, but as they grow, they can get aggressive towards each other as they hit puberty and develop horomones. Bearded dragons aren't communal animals. If you're in the states, petco is running the dollar a gallon sale. Most of us go for 40 gallons, as they have plenty of floor space, and just the right bit of height to make the temp gradient they require.
She's got some issues. I'll be updating more in her thread. I've got. Vet appt scheduled for Friday to have her looked at.
Thank you for sharing your info sadly to gather everything these little guys need has left my pockets rather skinny im gonna try to have both in the 30 gallon its a tall one but ill try to get a 2nd tank cheap before they get big enough to start fighting over spots and what not i know they grow pretty fast tho but on another note could anyone tell me what i need if the tank goes to 65 degrees at night? do i need another light fixture or leave the basking light onAre working with a 30 gallon tall or short tank?

As for cohabbing, how bad could it get? I just picked up a rescue girl that had been cohabbed with a male. In his attempt to mate with her, he bit at her face. Her head is covered in scars and her left upper eye lid has been bitten off completely. She's missing a toe, as well as part of her tail. Whether your housing two females, a pair, or two males, it's dangerous because they are very territorial. One dragon will assume the dominant role, and the submissive will suffer, even the babies form hierarchies when together.
This is Ruby, the dragon that was cohabbed.

Do your best to get a secondary enclosure and be sure to keep an eye on the babies in the meantime. I would feed them separately, so they don't get over excited chasing bugs around and nip off the others toe or tail tip.
I think you made a great choice. My first beardie was an adult, and that was tough enough to adjust to, tweaking things to get temps just right, figuring out how many feeders I needed so I wasn't running to the store every other day. One beardie will keep you plenty busy, without overwhelming you too much.
thank you i will definitely be posting pictures soon im pretty excited !I completely agree with Eavlynn, I think you made a very good choice. In the beginning I wanted to get 2 babies as well until I started researching all of the care they require. I'm really glad I did my research before hand and did not get two. I think you will find that starting off with one dragon will be perfect. She will teach you so much and one day you will feel much more confident and prepared for another baby.
Best of luck to you. When you do finally get her I hope you come back and share pictures and tell us all about her
