    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Is this dangerous?

Saw someone looking to sell/trade some dragons...

Look at the babies with the larger ones... That big one on top could easily eat one of the babies. Right...? I just saw this and was little shocked...

I would guess they just put them together for the photo. Beardies are extremely docile, and as adults, they tend to prefer greens anyway. I had one that shared a large enclosure with a leopard gecko for over 10 years. The leo often rode around on the beardie's back.
It's a good thing beardies do well together, as they lay around 30 eggs per clutch. That would be a lot of enclosures!

Yes, I can see your concern, there will be some beardies who would grab that baby up in an instant, no matter how docile a pet it is, and swallow it in a few seconds. Even a sub - adult can easily eat a baby. We might like to think of them as being kind to their own, but they have no maternal/ paternal instinct but would view smaller creatures as fair game for a snack. I've seen it happen at a reptile show before, and more than once.
 
If I dropped a baby bearded dragon in my one dragons enclosure, I know for a fact she would go from calm and docile, and in 1 second turn into a ferocious beast swallowing that baby whole.

I saw it and just wanted to know that this was wrong... just like I expected.
 
I would never put babies next to adults like this. I don't care how docile the adult is, it is just instict. They see the babies as food, not babies. I've seen it happen before. So yes, I would say that is dangerous.
