im not that familiar about beards, but my girl friend is getting a bearded from her cousin that breeds, so she wants a hatchling, but she wants two of them. im very familiar with other species and one alone is fine usually. im just asking if she were to get two(relatives) should she get 1.1 0.2 2.0 also how much space is needed for two hatchlings then juveys then adults. i just want to steer her in the right direction
thank you -dave
discouragement is fine

If you must get two then get two females, which i belive is 0.2.0. Although im not sure how you are going to sex them as babies.

But as most people on here would say BD's are solitary animals. They dont really want company. If you get two males they will most likely fight, male/female will constantly try to make babies and its stressful on the female. The only real hope you wouldd have is two females and they need to be around the same size. Thats usually how it happens. My two F/M want to make babies all day long. At least the male does, female is iffy sometimes and i think she gets stressed when I let them out at the same time sometimes.

As for a tank, minimum size for *one* BD is a 40gallon breader. If your using two go with at the very least a 75 gallon. Floor space is more crucial then height. If your going to get two i would buy two seperate 40 gallong tanks.

But remeber, they are quite happy alone.

I'm thinking of trying to make my own 'custom cage' based on yours but i was wondering,,, is it hard to clean the poop off the sealer/sand stuff? (my guy is on shelf liner right now)

Its not *that* hard, but its not as easy as shelf liner would be. I pick up the poop with a paper towl, then spray the area with a bleech/water mix then let it soak a bit, then blot it up, then spary it down with water then blot that up.

A lil more effort then most other cages. But worth it to me for such a cool cage.
