hey guys,
i have a one year old pygmy bearded dragon - we have no idea what sex he is. a few people have told us he might be a girl, but we've referred to him as a boy since we first got him, so that's just what i tend to call him
. anyway. he's great, really docile, feeds well, is growing beautifully. yesterday we bought another pygmy - this one we know is a girl. she's about 4 weeks old, and a bit less than a third of his size. what i want to know is, what are people's experiences with housing beardies together? how did you go about introducing them to each other? we've let them spend some time together - mainly running around on our bed etc, and SOME time in his tank (but closely watched). they've licked each other, climbed all over each other, and the boy has shown none of his aggression signs (normally when he's grumpy he puffs out his beard, head butts things, hisses, etc). the little girl just acts submissive and occasionally climbs on him and follows him round. when we're not supervising them they are separated - we've put a glass divider in his tank so they can see each other but not touch each other, and we've fed them both separately. oh, and the tank is 4x2x2ft
in summary, we really want to house them together and they seem to be fine so far. but we would like some suggestions before we make a big mistake! :?
no-one's got any suggestions/experience?
