Buying second beardie

21 10:34:32

Question
I have a male bearded dragon, and my brother wants one of his own. We already have a second tank so they definitely won't be living together. However, they may come in contact in the living room if we are holding them or they are roaming around. What I would like to know is if it would be better to get a male or female. Would getting a female make them less likely to fight?

Answer
Hello, less likely to fight? Probably not. If they will be making contact outside of their enclosures wheather male/male or male/female, just keep an eye on them. If you are both nearby and they start to quarrel with each other you both can be their to make sure nothing happens.
