I retrieved a new Beardie today. A smaller female about 10mo. old. Trying to introduce her to a 4 yr. old male, thinking they would be good cage mates.
Lots of bobbing and waving, and a little of him nudging her around.
How long should I give them to "settle in" before being concerned enough to seperate cages?
Well, you really should have quarantined her for a few months. If she has any kind of parasites or illness she can infect your male. It's always a good idea to quarantine new reptiles when you bring them into your house. Have they both had a fecal test done?
Also, you should keep them seperate until she is full grown, about 18 months. At 10 months she is still growing and if he mates with her it can put a lot of stress on her little body.
Did you have the intention of breeding them? If not, definately don't put them together.

have they actually copulated yet? if not give them a week or two. or a trick i use is to simply put there cages right next to eachother and then put them together for a few hours every week so theyll breed.
