Hi,

I just signed up here the other day and wanted to introduce myself. My girlfriend and I recently purchased two female Beardies the past week. We did a lot of research before purchasing these lil guys and had the tank all setup before picking them up. We are still learning about them as we go, but they fit into our home very well. Currently have 2 dogs (Pitbull Boxer Mix and a Cane Corso Italian Mastifff) also I do foster work for a local Pitbull Rescue here in MN so I have a foster Pitbull currently with us too. We also have two cats living with us and My son too. So we got a house full. Smiley

Here's Kimchi (Red Bearded) taking a bath



Here's Soju (Citrus Red Beardie) on our way home from picking her up.



and heres the 100 gallon tank they reside in.

Adorable babies. My family enjoys pitbulls, too. Two of my sons are slaves to a couple of sweet girls.

Your dragons really should have homes of their own. They're solitary creatures that thrive best when housed alone. Housing together leads to dominance and fights that often lead to the serious injury or death of one or both dragons. They also appear to be quite different in size. The smaller one will be bullied and possibly killed by the larger.

Definetly have thought about that. They seem to be getting along really well. Even during feeding times, they don't seem to bother each other at all. Something we are keeping a close on eye on, we also have tanks setup already in case we seperate them too. Thanks for input though.

Here's some pics of our dogs too Smiley

Rocky - Pitbull Boxer Mix (Best dog ever)

Kasha - 6 month old Cane Corso Mastiff


Cisco - Pitbull that we are currently fostering till he finds his forever home.

You have some adorable pups!

Even a very experienced eye can miss the subtle warnings of problems starting. When the problems escalate, usually unnoticed by the keeper, it literally takes a split second for a life to be lost. I have three dragons, 2 of which came from very experienced breeders, who have suffered this fate before coming to me. I've also had rescues in much worse condition than these 3, and I've seen the results first hand - again, usually unnoticed by the keeper until it's too late. Take a look here - http://bearded-dragons.com/boards/index.php/topic,16.0.html - Dracen is an adult now. He still has problems getting around and can't climb up onto rocks and such because of his missing foot and part of the leg. Suki has since lost the remainder of the toes on her "existing" back foot due to infections caused by the injuries. Is it really worth the risks?

Cute!
Unless you watch them 24/7 chances are you will lose the little one. It only takes a second. I would separate them immediately.
