It was great a lot of snakes and big bucks lizards and a fight for the best price on crickits and Bearded Dragons, witch one had to come home with my son. Zoo-Med was there and so was LLLreptiles, Reptile Depot and some of the other big names I see here at King Snake. I learned a lot on caring for Zoo in the making. I'm now up to a Koi-Pond in the back yard, one Green Iguana about three years old, A Desert aquarium with DHL's,Side blotch lizards, Desert spiny Lizads, a 60gl. with the Collareds, there rooming with the little Bearded Dragon for now, till he can aford his own place to stay, and I just set up anther 60 for the in coming Desert Iguana couple that are moving in. so all the pointers I can get are helpful.

Thanks again

I love all your desert lizards as I have many also. The blotchies are pretty lil guys and desert swifts are quite neat too.

I would like to say this, I would try and remove the new lil beardie from the collareds tank even if it means using a rubbermaid bin for awhile.
First your collareds are ALSO new and the beardie, so nobody was quarentined to see if there is any problems.
Beardies are notorious for carrying coccidia/parasites, and it is something the others can get quite easily from him, and hard to get rid of. Look up "coccidia".

AND... another thing beardies especially young ones tend to get hungry ALOT, like in eating about 60 crickets a day (depending on age) babies eat that much, mine did. And if the crickets are not there when they are hungry they will eat a sibbling/cagemates tail, arm, leg, foot anything they can grab.

So if it were me I would seperate. They are fine alone. Matter of fact male and female beardies are kept seperate when older, only for mating are they put together.

I wish you the best with all your lizards, some of what you have (deserty lizards) could co-exit if you have the room. But give your new collareds some time alone to make sure they are okay.

Let me know when ya get your desert iggies, (a pic) I have a nice male named Hershey

Also stop by the bearded dragon forum and share/learn lots of good stuff with the other beardie members

Thanks again for the advise, I seperated them, I moved the Collereds over to the tank that was set up for the Dersert Iguanas, I will get them a new tank tonight, when I moved them over the small female statting to eat, the wall in the background is white and the other tank had bricks behind it and all she wanted to do was jump through the glass, now she mellowed out and is now eatting
