I would only put 2 reptiles in the same cage temporarily for breeding purposes, never for permanent housing. I know how it 'seems' like they might enjoy eachother's company, but the truth is...one is dominant and the other is submissive. How would you like to be the submissive one? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I've had no problems having them live together, no altercations or health problems in 3 yrs I've them both.

Well, of course, each person is going to do what they want to do.

I, too, know people who have been successful in keeping multiple dragons per enclosure. In fact, I did, too. But those same people have ALSO come home to tragedy. It could take years before something happens.

I, myself, refuse to put my animal's lives at risk.

All is well now, but that does not protect us from a sad future.

well to each their own, thanks

Anytime. I am always willing to share my experience and/or knowledge with others. I could come up with a handful of other reasons why its a very bad idea to house multiple reptiles per enclosure...but I think you get the picture. I'll let it rest with this...

Most experienced keepers of reptiles AGREE that reptiles are BEST kept ALONE for many reasons. (I can go into more detail) Having said that, we are all entitled to go against the grain, for better or for worse.

Thanks again for reading.
