Default Pair of beardies: how much room?

Got my babies (o/s agamas) but hubby bitten by the herp bug (not stray cricket!). He would like pair of BD's. I would like to get them for him as a prezzie. How much room will a pair need? Would a 3ft viv cut it or will they need a lot more space than that? I could go to 4ft x 2ft x 2ft but no bigger, really, without putting my child in the shed!
Advice, please, folks.

hi bonnie

you could keep them in 3ft whilst they are small but they grow quick and 2 adults would need about 5 foot. also make sure you get like 2 females because the male will just hump the female and she wont be happy lol!

hope it helped

Hi Mark, ta for that. When I first settled Jamey & Columbus all he wanted to do was what came naturally and it's left Jamey a bit shy, 'cos every time she showed her face he jumped on her back!
Perhaps 2 girlies is a good idea but I'm not sure about finding room for a 5ft viv
What can I keep in a pair that's easy to look after & won't need a lot of room & isn't a gecko? (He doesn't like geckos) Or will a lone beardie be ok?
My babies were raised & kept together until I bought Jamey & they seemed to miss each other (which is how I ended up with 2!!!) When we went on holiday, we sent Jamey to the store we got her from for care & they put her back in with Columbus. When we came to get her, she spent the next couple of days looking for him. Then she went all sad looking and didn't run about like she had before, went off her food and everything. So I went to the store & got Columbus. Next thing you know, she's chuffed to see him! Even now, they kip down together at night. <3
Cute, eh?
Don't want to keep a sad lonely animal of any kind.
Even our Catley has a girlfriend from down the block that he hangs with.

you could keep one bearded in a 4 foot viv i got mine in one of them at the moment. or go for something smaller but beardies are cool and they are solitary so they do not socialise apart from mating anyway so it be fine to get one
