I plan on setting up a nice large enclosure for a few beardies including my current one.
I want to get 2 females and 1 male Pogona Vitticepts in the enclosure. The enclosure will be 7ft long, 2ft wide and high. I plan to have 2 basking spots and several hides.
The questions are:
What plants look good in a desert enclosure, suit beardies and are also not harmful for the beardies to consume...?
Would the fake rock back wall be a good idea?
Will i have to remove the male after breeding, as i have heard they can become rather aggressive?

hey matt, the plants that i used were all the grassy types and they seemed to be good around reptiles, rock backing would look good but for a 7ft x 2ft one u will be lookin to pay up to 300-400 dollars lots of hides would be good but havent bred beardies yet so i dont know about the male

If i were to start breeding true red, white and orange beardies, how many people would really be interested in buying an exotic beardie?

Try breeding regular ones first.

ah yes but these ones look real and last forever, they are guaranteed to be reptile safe (there are still question marks about the safety of Polystyrene foam). overall they are an excellent product.

Plus I don't think a beardies claws will go to well with Simons design.
