I think I put this in the right place, if not, feel free to move it to the appropriate section.
Just yesterday I brought home a pair of bearded dragons, both male, who have been living together since they were babies. They're 2 and 2.5 years, respectively. They've got a big massive 6-foot tank and have done well in it.
I keep being told that they'll fight. I've been assured by their old owner that they never have. Greisun, the 2.5 year old (and is grey, hence the name Greisun [think Grayson]) is the smaller, more dominant one. Tanyr (who is tan/yellowish hence the name Tanyr [think Tanner]) is a fair bit larger and the submissive one.
I met them a few times before adopting them, and they always seemed to get along great, sharing food and space and heat, etc etc.
Right now, Greisun is all up in a huff, lunging at Tanyr and biting the back of his head. He won't let Tanyr into the warm side of the tank, and if he tries to climb up to their basking site he gets a butt whooping. Greisun is doing his whole head-bobbing, puffy black throat thing and he's been doing it almost contantly since I brought them home yesterday.
Are they just re-establishing their pecking order or do I have a problem on my hands?
