I'm looking at getting a pygmy beardie. I have found a breeder, am sorting a cage out, done my research, but have one question I wanted to get some opinions on.
Do you keep a pygmy beardie solo or in a pair/small group? What do they do best in?
The breeder suggests I get two as they're social, but I don't know if that's just her wanting to get me to sell me another lizard
I was/at the moment am interested in just getting one. Caging guidelines in terms of space needed always seem to list for pairs, but some information I've come across suggests keeping them separate to avoid any issues- admittedly, though, I think quite a bit of this is coming from keeping beardies and not specifically pygmies, but still. I also don't want any breeding, and I know accurately sexing small hatchies is a bit difficult.
The cage is coming from a friend; she's said it's about 92cm x 76cm, which I'm assuming is length and height, but might not be. They had a pair of "normal" beardies in it quite successfully, and prior to that a carpet python before she got her upgraded mansion, but I'm paranoid and don't want to just toss two pygmies together if there's a good chance I'll end up with issues later on.
Guidance is much appreciated!
