Ok, so, I'm curious, I have an enormous bearded dragon (almost 2 feet long) who is around seven years old. He never bites or shows signs of aggression and is chill with other lizards. We are planning to buy/ build him a huge viv at some point (at least 4'x3'x3') and have also been considering getting an ackie. My question is, would they be able to go in the same viv if it was big enough?
@MikeTytula6 жыл бұрын
NO! They are completely different organisms ackies need a much hotter basking spot. And will likely out compete the beardie. Mixing species in general is just not recommended.

@alexcrowder16736 жыл бұрын
You could just get a 70 gallon adult setup right off the bat, but like he said smaller is fine until it gets bigger. I just prefer putting them in the adult enclosure right away to save money in the long run. Monitors generally don't seem to get stressed out in oversized enclosures like some other reptiles do, so theres no real downside.
@mitchelll8995 жыл бұрын
@@alexcrowder1673 other benefit to a 40+ is the exercise if they don't want to be held to give them more space than they need with tons of cork pieces incase of climbing objects falling over. 1ft of cork round is about 3/4ths a pound so no different than another one of their kind tackling them for dominant play.
