gaybabywithrabies: This emaciated bearded dragon was recently dropped off at Tucson Reptile Rescue. She had been cohabitated with two other dragons who bullied her out of food.Most reptile species are not social. When kept together, they compete for resources including food and heat. They do not enjoy being amongst others of their own species; it literally makes it harder for them to survive. There is no such thing as “bonded” reptiles. Reptiles do not have “best friends.” They do not know or care about their siblings.Cohabitation can lead to problems like this, or to aggression and attacks between reptiles. Yes, even those that have been together “all their lives” and “love each other.” Reptiles are not humans and they are not dogs; they do not bond with members of their own species.(Of course there are exceptions to this, but very few. Sandfish, for example, can be kept together. Shingleback skink babies stay with their mothers for several months after they’re born. Some female crested geckos don’t mind the presence of another female. But the most common species kept in captivity, including bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and all snakes should not be co-habbed.)If you are able to, remember to donate to your local reptile rescue. And if you don’t have one? Donate to mine! :) Their PayPal is on their website linked above.(Reptile people, if any of this info is incorrect, feel free to let me know!) This. -- source link
