Your tank is big enough for one or two more dragons who are the same size as your bearded dragon now. If your current dragon is male, then you pretty much have to keep him separately, strange males never get along and will fight eachother (I don't think the cage is nearly large enough to safely house males together). If you already have a female, you MAY be able to house one or two more females in with her (again same size as your current dragon). Though female dragons are more likely to get along, there is no guarentee they will. Even females housed together since very young can get along for years then suddenly decide they don't like eachother anymore and fight.

If you want to get babies and grow them up then introduce them to your adult dragon, you can house each in a 20-35 gallon long tank. They will be alright in this size tank till they are about 14-16" long. (approximately 8 months, growth rate varies between dragons so some may grow faster than others).

Another option is to divide your large cage in half by inserting an opaque (solid) divider. Then you can house a dragon in each end. Just make sure the divider is very secure and goes all the way to the top of the cage. Dragons have been known to knock down or climb barriers, especially if one is male and the other female.
