I have not been able to find any info on this. Thanks for your time...

Without knowing more about your two dragons and the size of the tank you plan to keep them in, it's really hard to say. There are many issues to be considered when housing two dragons together. One, their sex. Two females may get along well in a large enough tank (should be at least 5'x2'x2' in dimension). Unless you plan on breeding (and are prepared for the 100 eggs or so per breeding season, spread over several clutches). Two males, especially sexually mature ones, will fight for territory, injuring, even killing eachother in the process.

Even if the dragons do get along, there is the concern one will be more dominant than the other and the submissive dragon won't eat enough, won't be able to get ideal basking temps. Stress can also cause one or both to develop parasites and get sick. A large cage with several basking spots and feeding each dragon individually outside the cage, or using mulitiple feeding dishes far away from eachother, may ensure both dragons get all they need food and temp wise. But there is always the chance two cage mates who have gotten along for years to suddenly turn on eachother for no apparent reasons.

One last point, if there is a significant difference in size between the two, the smaller one may be eaten by the larger. Even if the larger doesn't try to eat the smaller one, it will deffinitely try and dominate it, causing stress etc, as mentioned above.
