I heard of this advert on another board some time ago, and, apparently this person has annomolies in his dragons on a regular basis.  So... there has been talk of inbreeding, and the owner causing the deformaties on purpose...

Hello,

I would have to agree.  They need to determine whether or not they share all of their organs or not.  If they do, then, their well being is being sacrificed.  Who knows, there could be a way of separating them possibly, if it was minimal, but it would be a pretty risky surgery though. 
I can't believe people are trying to make money off of the poor things.

i doubt you could seperate it - it only has 1 spine converged into 2 necks... it is 95% obvious they also share their internal organs - it is a disgrace to advertise and sell - and will pass away within the next year if it hasn't already - how old is the ad - any evidence?
Tony Rowe is dreaming if he thinks some one will pay $150,000 for a lizard with a death wish - jesus - i could buy a business for that in the uk!

i personally wouldn't be able to keep this unlucky little bugger alive - as in my opinion think it's unfair.  sorry. Cry

No way mate, that's not right. As i have said, HERPS ARE NOT FOR OUR ENTERTAINMENT. I'm going to make that my signature on this forum. Quality of life, not quality of your "display animals".

I won't get into another rant though, i've done that many times before on this forum.

Hello,

Yeah, I am pretty sure they couldn't separate them either.  They may have separate kidneys possibly.  It does appear their spine is shared, unfortunately.   I am sure they wont live a long life, either.
I just can't believe people are trying to making money off of the things.   
You should make that your signature, that is great.

May i ask what gives you that impression? I personally think every single organ is shared from the shoulders down!  this is why i think it will not live long as there is too much stress from the brain(s) to all the other parts of its body.

I think what Drache means is that a single kidney could be given to each beardie. However, as established, separation would not be possible.
