 Need some education....

Ok i’d just like to know if you can have more than one beardie in a 75 gal tank and if so do they need to be 2 female, or male and female, or would 2 males be ok. Or even if i could fit 3 in there, (seems a little cramped for how large they get to have that many)

No, I wouldn’t put more than one in there. Two females will bullie each other for food, basking spots, ect...(depending on their size). A male and female in the same tank will seem like their fighting, but the male will most likely be aggressively mating with the female. When this happens females tend to attain serious injury’s. Two males (again depending on their size/age) probably isn’t a good idea, especially in a 75 gallon tank.

Yea, most breeders keep females together. I have seen 3-4 together in larger enclosures. Like Jeff said above, NO more than 2 per 4x2x2 enclosure. 2 males... definite no-no. Male and female... definite no-no.

Just be careful of dominance issues like one taking over the basking spot, one hogging food, that kind of behavior. This is stunt growth and really stress out the one being dominated. You should be fine with 2 females though.
