housing Eastern Beardeds with Pygmys???

[geckolover07]

hey all,
I have recently beome the proud owner of a 6 month old Eastern Bearded Dragon. I currently already own 2 pygmy Bearded Dragons (henrylawsoni) and am wondering whether or not I can keep the 3 Dragons together in the one enclosure. The enclosure is 1200x600x600 and there seems to be no problems between the species so far. In fact the Eastern is often found asleep ontop of one of my Pygmys. Any help on the issue would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Aaron

They may be fine this time of the year being winter but just be carefull to keep an
eye on them when it gets closer to Spring and the lizards may start acting very
differently when they want to start the dominating aggressive breeding behaviour.
They may be fine but just keep a close eye on them as the winter is ending.

and if the spring comes and there is no aggressive behaviour are they fine to be kept together? Is there a chance they may cross breed?

i wouldnt mix them , the larger beardy species are notoriously aggressive and mixing the two is only asking for trouble

Well so far it has shown no signs of agression. They get along fine.

i had my 2 centrals with 2 pygmys and all was good for nearly a year then my male central marked his territory big time killed one and injured the other before i even knew what was going on .....lucky enough to get the second one out when i did, first one was way too injured and didnt survive

righto well i'll be looking into a new enclosure then!
