hello am a newbie here we got our son a beautiful beardie for christmas as he is allergic to furry animals he never asked for it but knew he would love it, his mates did`nt believe he owned a dragon! (must admit im hooked on them already they are fascinating) now he`s concerned how lonely it looks and wants to find a companion not sure how old he is but certain hes a male as he has the two bulges at end of his tail he measures 12.5" looking for a female approximately the same size and age we are near liverpool and can collect locally he has a low budjet (communion money) but am willing to help him out a bit
p.s. this site is a godsend

Hi just a bit of advice but its not wise to keep a young female with your male as they could breed to early also beardies are happy to live alone...so i would leave it at just him unless you are able to give the female her own setup untill old enough to breed

thanks when we got him from the petshop he had loads of company i do have another tank ready to set up and introduce them in gently

Yeah pet shops do tend to co-habit animals but this is because if they was to house every animal seperate they would need a warehouse for the vivs so they co-habit and if the shops a good one they dont tend to spend long together anyway so its not makin a big impact so to speak.. But sep housin is advised until big enough to reduce the risk of early breeding

Sorry I agree too I was going to post but you guys have covered what I wanted to say, a beardie won't be lonely if your son gives him extra cuddles

How much is "communion money", and can I put in a back-claim!? Heheh!

Defo no need for a friend. As long as he's well looked after, he'll be happy enough. Best thing is to wait before you buy him a mate - just in case they breed too early, and the female isn't old enough. If you still think he needs a mate in 12 months -
buy an 18 month + girlfriend for him then!!!
