At what age do bearded dragons start showing affection towards eachother?

At what age do bearded dragons start showing affection towards eachother?

I have (well I think I have) a male and a female (they are both too young to sex, but as they grow older one is starting to develop more male attributes...anyways I was wondering do couples (m/f) show a lot of affection towards eachother? Since my two babies live together in the same tank, are they forced to be with eachother or do they really seem to be attached? Yes they are still too young, but do you think they are in some way "friends"? Somedays they cant be alone or without eachother, for example they have their eye on eachother when I take one out and then run to eachother when I place him/her back in. But then some days they do their own thing, and arent as attatched. I am pretty certain they are the opposite sex...they seem pretty comfortable with eachother and are very tame....sorry I'm off topic, but my question is......how attached do BGs get with eachother...even if they are the same sex. btw...they have been living together for a while now.

Thanks!

They should be in their own enclosures by 6 mo of age if you don't know their sex. They will either mate or fight, neither is good.

If they are both female for certain, they can stay together.

Two males, no way..they will fight when they start feeling the testosterone levels rise.

Male/female, females should not mate until they are full grown, and 18 mo old.
