  1. Just carefully introduce them or ask a profetional or breeder.

  2. bearded dragons can live together, I dont think its too late as long as you dont put a very small lizard in the cage. They really get attached to each other, any time you take only one of mine out of their tank the other tries to follow.

  3. i dont think beardies can live together.

    everyone else i just wasn't sure about sayin they can live together i didnt want to say yes and then the next day it turns out they r bothe dead if u knoe what i mean cuz hat would be horrible. :'(

    also i  heard that they cant live together.

  4. there is no age limit on when two beardies can be introduced in the same cage. With that said, if you're looking to get a female, it is probably not a good idea to keep them in the same cage just yet. If your female is of similar size, she may be impregnated early which can cause a calcium deficiency as well as other problems. You usually want to wait 18 months before you breed a female. Typically bearded dragons should be around the same size when they're in the same enclosure as they can be very territorial. Also if you don't want 20 baby beardies every couple months that will cost $60 to $100 a month to feed, you'll want to keep the female and male seperate at all times. If for any reason you do put them in the same cage, make sure you have enough money to buy another incase they do not get along or one begins to dominate the other. It is always good to keep your pets seperate when you first by them. Through my experience, I would  think two of a certain kind of reptile may be fine together. sometimes they would and sometimes they wouldn't and I had to scramble to find a seperate enclosure.
