WEll, my first message went unanswered, so ill reword it i guess. I have a 5ftx2ftx2ft enclosure that I want to fill with two beardies. I was wondering if it would be ok to have 2 full sized beardies in(not german giants).

Now, if you think that the enclosure is a bit too tight(i really hope its ok for 2 beardies though) I could get Rankins, as my understanding is they are nearly the same as beardies, but smaller.

I do not care about the phases, I mean I love those great colors, but its not neccesary. I really like the the lizards for what they are.

So I would like to see what you all have to say about my few questions here, thanks.

that size would be just fine for 2 females, you could even do 3 but that would be pushin it.

the cage size would be fine, though I would not recommend housing two bearded together. I'd also drop the height to 16" or so it will make it easier to get the proper UVB light.

If you do put two together, make sure they are both females, the same size, and preferably bought young to put together to raise up. Older dragons will be territorial a lot and won't like the addition of a new dragon. Some do okay, some don't. Make sure one doesn't dominate the other and they both get enough food and access to basking spots.

g'luck.
