One of my biggest pet peeves is that people get these animals without being prepared to make them happy, and are unaware of all the implications of their actions.

Bearded dragons are NOT naturally social animals. They live solitary lives usually only seeing other bearded dragons during mating season.

And speaking of mating. Having a male and a female permanently housed together, regardless of whether you want to breed or not, WILL result in either a female stressed out to the point of death (as the male will attempt to mate whether the female wants it or not), severe injury (I've seen males that have had their legs bitten off by females that didn't want it), eggs or any/all of the above.

Neither males nor females are social animals naturally. Where is your evidence that they are social animals?
