Brand New To Site And Bearded Dragons.

Hi there all....

Great to finally meet a community in south africa that cares so much for reptiles

Well today i ordered my bearded dragons with cage lighting e.t.c i will diffently be uploading pics for all of you to see

I use to keep iguanas but school had to take preference so i had to sell them now im back in the reptile world with bearded dragons

The bearded dragon im receiving tomoro is 2 years old.. I would like to get a partner for it, So here comes my first question?

Is it a problem if i get a hatching and put it in the same cage as this 2 year old beardie?

And yes i will eventually be wanting to breed bearded dragons so all help is appreciated

Thanks and look forward to getting know all of you

Welcome to the site. and yes this will be an issue, as the bigger one might consider the smaller one, a tasty-tit-bit. dont do it

oh damn

Thanks for fast reply.
okay so what would probably be the best way in getting another beardie for my new beardie ?

Welcome Vermillon,

I agree with arcadies, definitely not a good idea...

Had a mte whp thought h'e buy two young males for his female and the next day, he found both males were gone and the female was twice as fat as the day before...

Hi Vermillon

Wait and see what sex the one is you are getting and then try and source one of the opposite sex of a similar size.

Since i m from cape town i m no beardie expert,but i think for an adult dragon your sand should be fine.

thanks m8 just want one more okay from the members and ill put it in

It will probably be ok but the risk of him eating it and getting impacted is there, it's your choice though.

Rather wait for more ok`s.What was the previous owner using?Maybe its easier for him to settle in,if you use the same stuff...

Okay here is a pic of my beardie

I have named him rammstein.

Here is his enclosure rightnext to my pc

Behind this piece of wood is his heating pad i basically want to put the sand over his heating pad because i know this sand will help to make him more warm when he is above it

A picture of the sand i want to use from namibia red sand dunes.
