Don’t know how good Beardies eye sight is but I can tell you this. I have several rows of Beardies about 3 ft across from each other. For the most part they all ignore each other. Every so often one of my adult males will have a fit and try to get out and get across the aisle, but it’s rare. When feeding time comes along they all get impatient and wait by the glass or by the bowl patiently for their meals. EXCEPT for roach time. Once I start feeding one cage they all go nuts standing at the glass pounding and scratching. All of them get going its like a riot. I suppose if one dragon reacted to the other you could put some paper or cloth in front of the cage to block their views.



I recommend males to people who are not planning on breeding. Yes they can get a prolapse but generally speaking their are fewer health risks with a male. Even with out a male, it is my understanding that females can lay infertile eggs stressing their systems, not to mention the possibility of becoming egg bound.



The first two Beardies I had were both males. They lived separately and were fine until they saw each other. Then the larger one would puff up and bob. He eventually got used to things and there was never a problem after that.
