Ok, I'm home from work now so I have a little more time to collect my thoughts.
I guess I'm leaning towards getting a female if I do get another dragon. I'll probably keep her in another part of the living room where my male wouldn't be able to see her all the time. However, if I take her out into the living room for quality time, and he sees her through the glass occasionally, is that going to cause unwanted stress? If they even just catch a glimpse of each other once in a while? That's really my main concern. If I get another lizard I would like to be able to give them both quality time and I don't want them getting stressed, but obviously it's going to be a bit of a hassle if I have to prevent eye contact at all times. Also, if later down the road I get them stackable cages, would they be able to sense each other being that close, even if they don't usually see each other?
And lastly, I've heard rumors, and they could be just that, but I've heard that some female reptiles should be bred for their own health. Is that true? If I get a female and have no plans on ever breeding her, will she be ok, healthwise? I don't know why, it just sounds kind of silly in my head. ----- 1.0 bearded dragon (gold X yellow flame)
