>>Just like people need people, beardies need beardies and I am experianced.





The only reason beardies need beardies is to breed, plain and simple.



I'm not sure where you are getting your ideas about beardies needing to be in a social atmosphere. It seems to me you are trying to relate too much of beardie behavior to human behavior, which is completely an inexperienced and foolish thing to do. It's important you understand wild animals differ from us in many, many ways even if it just doesn't seem right.



Take a cheetah for instance. How's their social life between female and male? Well here's how it happens. The male courts and mates with the female for about a week. After that's done the male leaves and the female is left to raise the cheetah cub by herself and guess what? The male doesn't go back the the local "Cheetah Club" and have a few beers with his buddies, he goes off by himself. The next time he encounters a willing female he'll mate with her and the process starts over.



Take a lion now. Male lions will eat the cubs of a female from a different pride so she'll be ready to mate sooner and pass his genes along.



Many snakes, when they give birth, have nothing to do what so ever with their offspring. The minute the offspring are born they are on their own.



I could give you many more examples of different types of behavior that would probably be difficult for you to grasp but hopefully you get the idea. I only say they may be difficult for you to grasp because of your current ideas on beardies.



If you are a troll and are only in this forum to make trouble then I suggest you crawl back into the hole you popped out of. If you're not trying to make trouble forget the previous statement and follow this one instead. Next time you give advice make sure you know what you are talking about because you obviously have been either misinformed or have interpreted your experience with beardies incorrectly.
