    You really shouldn't house them together if at all possible. They are not really social in that way. Now with that being said...they can be put together but it is recommended not to. One will prevail as the alpha and the other will suffer for it.

    Re: When to place them together

    I agree with BPelizabeth they should really have seperate enclosures. Once they reach that size it is not as much as one eating the other but more of a dominace thing. You could try to house them together but you need to watch them carefully and be ready with a seperate enclosure if they dont get along or one dominates the other. Females can sometimes be housed together as long as they are close in size but not always. If they dont get along they could fight or seriously inj one another. The recommended space for 1 adult is usually a 4x2x2 enclosure (minimum 3x2) and rule of thumb is add 2 square ft per additional dragon. If you do try to house them together just keep a close eye on them and be ready to seperate them if anything happens. Good luck and hope this helps.

    We have an enclosure which is housing 2 Adult female Beardies but they were put together at a very young age and grew up together. One of them is dominant but there haven't been any aggression issues.
