I usually advise against housing bearded's together. I've just heard way to many story's about peoples dragon's killing each other. Males can be pretty territorial and fight to the death or injure the other dragon. A Male/Female combo is almost guaranteed to lead to constant mateing and egg laying which is unhealthy for the female. Two females can be housed together but aggression can still be possible.
Yes some people do keep dragons together, it's not impossible, just not worth the risk IMO. If your dead set on doing it you need to make sure you have multiple basking areas and a significantly larger tank.

NO. Please do not do this. Beardies are solitary animals that only come together for mating. Some people say that you can house 2 together but the risk isn't worth it. Usually one will dominate the other. The subordinate one will not get the proper nutrition and his health WILL suffer. The dragons will more than likely end up with the dominate one attacking and probably killing the subordinate. They can get along fine and then one day....I have heard many horror stories from the forums I belong to about the dangers of housing 2 dragons together. If you try to put a male and female together, chances are the male will over breed the female and possibly kill her. I just don't think it's worth the risk.
Here are links to a couple of forums I belong to. They can tell you just how dangerous it is.

If aren't convinced, email me and I can dig up some of the posts from owners who have found dead, dismembered and maimed beardies as a result of housing together.

yes its fine to put dragons of the same size together as long as it not two males in breeding season as the first answer said they will fight to the death in all the years ive bred dragons i have never had this happen although males will fight agressivly they will not go to these extreems 1 animal will always submit to the other. they may lose some toes or a bit of thier tail but thats about it if they are fed separately this problem can be avoided.so in short as long as they are roughly the same size you shouldnt have a problem.
hope this helps

No, you may't. First coming from 2 diverse aspects they might have diverse criteria. 2d in spite of in the journey that they are on the fringe of a similar length, the collared would attempt to devour the beardie. they have been documented choking to demise on prey that become too tremendous to devour and they do devour lizards as a classic area of their weight help software contained in the wild. even as they get higher the dragon will be two times the dimensions and then he will attempt to devour the collared. i does no longer do it.

If they are male and female yes, if two males no, they are very territorial and will fight all the time, two females also no, It would be best to house them seperately as you would not want either getting hurt
