Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Does he need a friend?
I have an almost 5 month old beardie named Tank. He still runs from my hand but we are working on it. Recently I've been noticing him run to the end of his enclosure and wave to the terrarium of anoles I have nearby. I know this is a social behavior. Should I consider getting him a cagemate?The time I spend with him is usually chasing him around the cage trying to pick him up to hold him then it is chasing him through the living room and under the couch.....He is getting a little better at the handling thing. Any ideas? Would a cage mate help and is he lonley?

Dragons are perfectly happy without a cagemate. If you want to get another dragon, get another dragon, but not on the rationale that you are doing it for your first dragon. If you do get another one, I wouldn't put it in the cage with the first. At that young of an age, it's easy for one dragon to outgrow the other and start bullying and/or hogging food and basking areas. As far as waving at the anoles, I had one that waved at crickets before eating them.

I AGREE IT IS VERY EASY FOR ONE BEARDIE TO HOG THE FOOD WATER ETC.. SO I WOULD PUT THEM IN DIFFERENT ENCLOSURES ESPECIALLY IF U DIDNT BUY THEM TOGETHER AND THEY'RE AGGRESSIVE IF THEY ARE BOTH MALES

2 females can be housed together , but not a good idea to put 2 males together. Iif you do decide to get another dragon , use a substantial quarentine period ( 60 -90 days) and house separately.
Remember that even healthy dragons can become ill ,which is why we quarentine, due to stress and relocation.
Also, if you have another dragon of opposite
gender, make certainn that they are kept apart from ages 6-18 months at least to prevent too early breeding which can be detrimental to the health of both dragons.
