bluies and beardies

[jamesr]

hello
um this is a quick 'Q' and might sound dumb but can a eastern bluie live with a central beardie? I think they cant because it might be a bit hot for the bluies but they are reptiles and they like the heat so will they be alright together.
And dose anyone no of any good care sheets for them (bluies) if possible.
Thanks

blueys will KILL beardies when they are small.

[jamesr]

oh ok but if the bluies and beardies are the same size will it be ok (baybes).

i hav blueys, beardies and shingleback all living together, and hav done for many years. they share food and sleep together adn hav never fought.

[jamesr]

thanks but im guessing our gonna need a lot of room to keep 2 small central beardies together with a eastern blue tounge.
and what size tank would i need for them when they get big?

[jamesr]

can anyone give me a rough size

[cyclamen]

as long as tehy are all small together, blueys are quite big as babies compared to beardies. i only kept mine together once they were almost fully grown. at the moment, i hav 2 blueys, a shingleback and a beardie together in a 6 foot tank. but, soon they will be getting moved around when we move. so if your bluey is alot bigger than the beardies, house them seperate otherwise .........bye bye beardies. good luck mate.

thanks but im still not shaw if ill try it or not and my bluie is older than my beardies but almost the exact same size.i really hope they dont fight if i do it and if they do could the fight kill the beardies.
(is your bluies eastern and beardies central if you dont mind me asking)

eastern blueys and inland bearded..hav ya got a pick of the bluey and the dragons together.
another way to do it. is put them in together for an hour in the arfternoon or when you have time to supervise, and just monitor the behavour.

[jamesr]

ok thanks but i havent put hthem together yet im just seing if its okay 1s
and yeh ill watch them for while when I put them in .

[cyclamen]

thats good. like i said, just monitor them for a little while at a time, just see how they react to each other, the bluey may hiss, the beardies may ark up and display there beard. that is totally normal. my beardy use to do it all the time in the beginning, but 5 yrs later. they are the best of freiends.

[jamesr]

ok thanks mate your a big help

I would think a bluey could do a lot of damage to a baby beardy before you had time to react so be careful!
James - They should be the same size snout - vent length (from the nose to the base of the tail) if you count overall size most of a beardy is made up of tail so its body may not be big enough for it to not be considered food by a bluey.
In any case I would wait till the beardy is a few months old and grown a little bigger.

james has already stated that they are both almost the same size. so i shouldnt think its a problem.
