[neven]

or can i mix central beardies with eastern or inland?

 

[saikrett]

you can keep beardies, blueys, water skinks and cunninghams, and water dragons if theres enough space

 

[Guest]

central and inland are the one species vitticeps

 

[saikrett]

plus if you have a pond you could add turtles

you can keep them with shinglebacks aswell.

 

[saikrett]

you can't keep shingles outside near the coast

 

[roadkill5000]

not to offend anyone but he never once in this thread said anything about outside?
i was just stating a compatible species.

 

[Guest]

beardies and shigles a big no no shingles cruch beardies heads bybiting them happeded to a friend

 

[saikrett]

i know, it's just that if your housing them togerther they will need quite a bit of room, which i believe is best provided by an outdoor enclosure. But if you have adequate room indoors, then go for it.

I wouldn't reccommend keeping more that the pair of beardies if you are thinking of the enclosure you have been talking about in the other thread Nev.

 

[roadkill5000]

hey brendan how big is the enclosure he had them in and how many of each species did he have?

 

[marc]

yeah sounds all fine just keep an eye on them some individuals can be more aggressive than others even of the same species

 

[Guest]

[neven]

No, I reckon you'd probably be OK with 2f and 1 m but keep an eye on them and if any aggression starts seperate them. I had a trio in my 6x2 at one stage and there was a bit of agression towards the smaller female. Best thing to do is to "suck it and see" Nev.
