alright, here it goes...Clown Agamas are also known as Painted Agamas or Painted Clown Dragons. They can live perfectly fine with a bearded dragon, your lucky. the main difference is the size. Clown Agamas get about 8 inches long fully grown. about a 30 gallon tank would be great for a minimum OR the maximum. you could house 2-3 in a 55 gallon tank. they are just like Bearded Dragons, as i said. They like the more desert climate (80-95 degrees Farenheight). a great turf would be a sand bottom (washed playsand, about $2 for a 50 pound bag at walmart) and some rocks for climbing and basking. Their diet should consist of Crckets, Mealworms/WaxWorms/SilkWorms, Dandelion Greens and Strawberries. they are not as docile as bearded dragons so taming may be difficult. i hope this helps!
