It doesn't matter--two bearded dragons should never be housed together. One will always intimidate and dominate the other, causing stress and illness. Males will go after the females constantly and she'll get no rest from his attentions. Get as many beardies as you want, but get them their own tanks!

You said you have a baby beardie, therefore they cannot be accurately sexed yet. Bearded dragons are best housed separately. If you have an extremely large enclosure you "could" house two females together, but it would need to be huge with lots of hiding places and two good basking spots at the warm end. You should also feed them separately to ensure that one is stealing the others food. Really though it's best to house them separately. Besides since you have a baby and would get another one you cannot be certain of their sex so you might end up with two males in the same enclosure which would be bad news.

You should not house multiple bearded dragons together. If you get another one house it separatly. Housing multiple beardies together can cause stress and bullying.
