You cant house two beardies together IMO, unless you have alot of experiance.

a male will constantly try to breed the female ( To death)

But no, they would have to be the same sex, age, size, QT'd from each other for 3-4 months with a vet check before you house them together, and then youd have to have a giant cage and make sure that they do not have domanance issues.

what does your tank set up look like for the current one? What type of UVb do you use, whats the basking temp, do you dust your crickets? How many do you feed? What are they housed on ( Substrate)?

As babies they can be housed together once healthy after QT. But once the male is sexually mature he must be in his own setup away from other males and females to stop unwanted breeding/fighting.

Thanks she will get it a male and i have a large tank for bolth of them but the 10 gal. is wt i have one in now i will sepperate them fr 3months and then put them in the big tank once im shure they r bolth healthy and the oppisate sex

You should probably check out www.beardeddragon.org so that you know you have everything right for your dragon(s).

no offense but your going to ruin a beardies life that way, just keep the one, trust me save you some cash, if your feeding her right and she is eating you probely are already feeding her close to 60 crix a day, plus a expensive reptisun bulb and dusting. not in my opnion but in 95% of bearded dragon keepers opnion you need seperate 40 gallon breeder tanks or as said above the females life will be misrable, by large tank im assuming at least a 120 gallon right, i've seen males use every inch of a 75 gallon and be very dominate over it

Do you still have only one dragon?

Yes you are messing your beardies over. And a 10 gallon tank is only enough for 1 beardie. a 20g minimum for more than 1 baby.

Honestly a ten gallon is too small for one, how are you keeping the high temps at 100+ in it without cooking him?
