Just a few quesions, first of all i want to get 2 and im just wondering is it safe to keep 2 Bearded Dragons together?

Also is crickets the only think they can be fed on a day to day basis?

And what is a ideal starter tank size for them if buying from small?

And what is ideal when fully grown?

Thanks a lot guys.

Also any other information i should no is VERY welcome..

Sam.

i suggest you read up on them A LOT before you buy them... get a book. talk to an owner.

What he said. I've never kept lizards before, just insects/spiders and the occasional frog. However, I know a bit about keeping reptiles, but nowhere near enough to purchase one and expect it to stay healthy for very long.

Defo read up on them before you buy. There's loads of Bearded Dragon specific books available, and probably even more info online about keeping them.

Whatever happens, it'll almost certainly cost more than you think for a proper setup including UV, vitamin supplements, heating, thermostat and lighting etc.

Oh, and beardies love big cockroaches. Make quite an unpleasant crunch though
