Beardie enclosure

[inthegrass]

I am thinking of buying a pair of adult beardies. Can I house them together? What size enclosure should I get for them?
cheers

fro 2 adult beardies a 6x2x2 foot enclosure.

if they get along u can, but the male generally mates with the female alot more often than shes wiling to, which leads to stress and being bred to often shortens her life span.
i think its safest to keep adult beardies seperate, my girls stopped getting along that well a while ago and while they still kind of live together, i leave the doors open and Chub is never in the cage when i get home.

anybody else have any ideas??

I guess you can leave them together and see how they go but be prepared that they may not get along and may fight.Causing injuries or even death.Like Chris1 said,they will mate which can shorten the life span.But in saying that,I am sure there are people who keep theirs together and have never had a problem.I guess it can also depend on the size of the enclosure,if it is too small they will feel crowded and stress.If it is big maybe they will not interact too much and find their own space,but that is just a thought,personally I would listen to Chris1.Have you thought about a good sized outdoor enclosure???It might be the go.again just a thought.Beardies are great and you will love 'em so that is why we have to do our best for them.
