How many of you have bought two (or more) dragons to keep together and subsequently had to separate them due to mating, fighting or other incompatabilities?

Good idea Rick, will be interesting to see what the results show.

Shrek and Fi have been together since they were 4 days old. (From different clutches and parents!). Mated once 18 months ago - coming up 3 years old in July.

Bet this is the exception that proves the rule!

Bug was brought as a pair some 4 years ago by my friend. She ate her viv mates tail and back foot before it died poor thing .... i had forgot all about that until i read Trish's post.

I knew i wanted her even after that, i just had to bide my time until the novelty wore off and he wanted rid of her! Now she is all mine mine mine miiinnnneeeee

Hey, thought i would comment- my two have been together for quite a few years now but grew up for the first few years seperate- don't know if this makes a difference or not but haven't had any problems with them!

I think you are one of the lucky few!

yes i bought two together to keep in the same viv and have had to seperate them...one was bullying the other so wouldn't eat anything,all better now in his own viv although still not caught up in the size department about half the size of the other.


2 x beardies snap & spike

I'm sure he will catch up eventually (or maybe he is naturally lighter in weight anyway?). You did the right thing by seperating them - bullying never gets any easier just worse

Pity I can't load any more votes up. We've just had to separate the last of our baby dragons at 6 months due to fighting - that's now three groupings all split up over the last month! That would push the separation figures up

ive got 2 beardies in the same viv a male and female the male is now 8 months female is 12 months old they have been together for around 3 months now and they are brilliant together really pleased with how they get on
they even sleep cuddled up at night and will eat out a small food bowl at the same time

also got 2 10 week old babys that are the same but early days yet

we was told we could have two together so we bought a 4X2X2 tank put them both in and delila dam near killed the other one via starvationand sadly we couldnt afford another tank so for his own safety we returned him to the pet shop...........I for one would never recommend buying two to anyone.....
