I think BD's are social creatures. I think they have very few goals in life. Well just 2 really eat and breed. If you get a female he most likely will breed her. But so what? She's going to produce eggs whether he breeds her or not. The only difference is that the eggs would be infertile which are more difficult on the female. After she lays the eggs, you just freeze them and then discard if you don't want babies.

If you were to get a female you would have to have a separate enclosure available as a nest box as well as the quarentine thing. 2 females with one male work best in my opinion. Sort of speads out the abuse. lol. But I know people that have 1 male with 1 female and no problems and often I have only one of each together. The interaction between dragons is also interesting and amusing as opposed to a dragon housed alone that is primarily sedentary.
