Hi everyone,
I posted about this on another forum, but didn't really get much feedback. I know that there are quite a few different perspectives, and I'd like as many opinions as possible.
So here's the story. I found a pair of bearded dragons that a family needs to rehome as they are moving. Their setup is far from ideal, but the cost to get the whole package is fairly reasonable and hard to say no to.
A bit of background, both dragons are female, according to my exploration. They have been together since birth, and have been a part of the family now for about 2 and a half years. I understand most beardies are solitary, that they'll fight and be miserable with each other. From what I have seen through the family selling them, very nice and I had a "good feeling" if that makes sense, it seems they've been well loved, and if it weren't for the move, they wouldn't be selling them.
Now, the slightly troubling parts... They are currently in an unbearbly tall 36x18x27 tank. Again, I know it's fine for one but too small for two. Thing is, they have been living that way, without getting on each other, for over 2 years. I don't know if that has created some health issues, but they are both incredibly active, alert and engaging, more so than many of the dragons I've seen for sale.
i'm including a few pictures that I'd like to get some input on. I know moving them to a larger tank won't be immediate, and preferably I would be aiming to something that makes it a bit easier to get them in and out of.
If anyone could take a look at the pictures and help me out, I would greatly appreciate a few different opinions.
To start, I plan on getting the lava rock out of there, as I'm pretty sure it's what caused a few of the smaller beardies nail issues. I also intend to add in some slate instead of the astroturf, in hopes that it'll make things better for them.
