Hi
if they r the same size you can try it .
only if you see one of the beardie not eating and hunting so wel like the others,and now grow like the other then you need to separete them .

Yes, you can
but it should be the same size dragon .
also the tank should fit both of them together with room for them to move around .

also if your buying a new dragon i suggest quaintneing it for 90 day's to make sure .. its safe for your other beared dragon ( just a suggestion )

good luck

Should be ok, but make sure you quarantine the new dragon beforehand, just to be on the safe side.

Dragon's can be territorial so be careful. What you really should do is introduce them both together in a neutral habitat slowly. After quarentine and a fecal of course. The new habitat should be large enough and have multiple basking and hide spots for both. Some females can be very aggressive and dominant.

So I would house them seperately, then put them together in the neutral habitat for a while, then separate. Continue this for a while slowly increasing their together time.

I know you don't like this answer because it means you need 3 working habitats for a while. But it is the best way. 2 food dishes is a good idea too.

It can be very stressful for both dragons. It's no recommended to house any herp together, for feeding, lighting and many other reasons! Although it is ok, as long as you quarentine the one as said before, if you still want to put them together in the end i would introduce them slowly outside the tank and then maybe 5 min or so aday introduce them s in the tank. If they seem like evrything has been ok for about 2 weeks then i would try longer intervals. It's not going to b ok to just drop the beardie in there. Very bad idea! Good luck!

well i have a female of the same size already thats y i ask. she is in a 125 there would be plenty of room. in worst case senario i could divide the tank. both mine and the one i have are perfectly healty and come from legit breeders and are of top quality
