ol black beard

[lizardo]

this is my new beardie "rocksteady" (1 of them, the other is in the background "beebop") and i walked in to see his big black beard and head bobbing at my other male who i forgot was out of his cage, it was pretty funny, no one was injured or touched for that matter

he is also head bobbing in this pic, just sorta hard to tell, you definatley get alot cooler reactions if you have more than one bd!!!

[peterm15]

are they in the same cage...

[lizardo]

the males, hell no!! there wouldnt be anything left of the older one, yes the younger one is the dominant one. i have a 175 gallon flexarium for my 2 young new dragons (very nice to look at but it takes forever to get the temps right, i finally have 2 basking spots with 100-105 for one and the other one usually around 110, and the rest of the cage is around 80-85. my other beardie is in a 50 gallon aqarium

and heres one that people always panic about my water dragon sleeps with the beardies in the 175 gallon cage, he is ful grown and i like to think of him as their big green father. he's never in the cage during the day though, always watching the peole and cars go by

[peterm15]

sorry i wasnt clear.. i just seen the lights and stuff.. are they able to get to eachother.. it seems that way in the pic.. do you let them roam ( not together, seperate ) some time during the day.. i really just can explain myself

[lizardo]

yeah i let the 2 young ones roam together and i take the old male out by himself, ive never had any contact between 2 dragons in a vicious way. my 2 small ones live in a 175 gal viv, they can do alot of roaming in there lol. nope ive done my homework and spent my money and i finally have a good setup for all my dragons, and snake (got a corn last week)

[peterm15]

oh i new youve done your homework.. i actually thought you had a breeding project.. just when you said you forgot it got me confused.. thanks for clearing that up..

[lizardo]

ohhhhhh, sorry i thougt you meant i just left beardies wandering around my room, no i had him out feeding and left him out while i left the room, and came back to my other male head bobing (pic above) yeah its wierd i have 2 males and a female, but i took the older male in on adopition and got the other 2 as a pair.

by the way man that cage looks amazing you are building, it looks great your little beardie wont know what to do with himself.

[peterm15]

and thank you for the complement... am thinking of starting one soon for some anoles... one like frickfrak made.. that one looks kool..

A friend of mine used to keep his Breeding Male Beardie with a female iguanna, and He still ran THAT cage! lol Beardies rock! My male flares up and bobs at the Saharan Uromastyx i keep with him too!

[lizardo]

nice thats awesome, its wierd in the cage when the water dragon and 2 young ones are there the water dragon almost doesnt even see them, certainly doesnt acknowlegde them. if hes in his water dish he'll jump out and run over to the basking area where both beardies are and sit right on them like he never even saw them, my female beardie always just walks over and licks my wd and stares at him until one of them move.
