| | | Thoughts on Beardies and bluies??? I want to move my blue tongues in with my adult beardies. The enclosure size is 140cm long x 80cm deep x 60cm high.
Im just wondering if they will mix well or if the beardies will have a go at them both?
The beardies arent too much bigger than the bluies. The beardies are vitti's and the bluies are common easterns.
Will the environment in the beardie enclosure be too hot/different for the bluies?
The reason i want to mix them, is that there is heaps of room in the beardie cage and the bluies are getting a bit big for the fish tank they are in.
Cheers, Alan. |

Years ago I kept beardies (2 x pogona) and blueies (1 eastern and 4 blotched) in a outdoor enclosure that was 2m x 4m and there were no problems, but that's very different from a much smaller indoor enclosure. (I also had a couple of cunninghams in there, and a small (1 metre) lace monitor who used to rip his way out of the cage at weak spots. He'd always hide in the honeysuckle thicket behind. I got tired of the cycle of escape-recapture-repair, and I was worried that he would escape for good into the 'burbs. I knew no other herpers so I released him in the wild.) As for your Blueies and Beardies, I wouldn't do it, but I'm sure there'll be others who will post with more relevant advice. |

G'day Teamsherman, i have found that when you put blueys and beardies together in confined cages its usually the blueys that attack the beardies, and sometimes theyre quite nasty. Just make sure you have some logs that the beardies can climb to get away from the blueys. It shouldnt be too hot for the blueys as long as their is a relatively cool end, but i would be more concerned if the basking light is aimed at a log or rock that the blueys cant get to because its a bit too high or theres already beardies dominating the basking area. A few low hiding boxes would be good for the blueys.
