Difficult decision - may have changed my mind now

I had a thread in the habitat section, saying how I'm going to be re-homing one of my babies.... It was not an easy decision.

I thought, today, while I was interacting with Ace, that I just can't give him up. My mind has gone up and down, deciding if I should re-home one or keep all of them. But I can't keep all of them. The constant changes in my life are driving me crazy. Which includes moving into yet another apartment, opposed to moving in a house with lots of room.

So basically, I just don't have the room for all of them at the moment. I just moved in, and there's just limited space for everyone to be happy.

My babies are in a 70 gallon tank split for each of them, but now they're just growing like crazy and they need a new tank. That means double of everything, which I'm not financially ready for a new everything. As well as space.

Now, I think I may have changed my mind about re-homing Ace. Now I'm thinking it should be Charlie. Reason being, I've had my babies much longer than Charlie. They're babies and I want to watch them grow. And yet, Charlie has quite the comical personality, and he loves to just cuddle.

--
Ace: He's quite a shy boy. He has respect, like not pooping on me as opposed to Baby! lol. He also like to take little adventures in small spaces. He's just a mellow boy.
Charlie: He is soo funny. When he sees one of the babies, he runs and bobs like crazy. He sometimes gives kisses! But does not like his beard being touched. Nooooo way.
--

That's just a little about them, how I see them. It's such a hard decision, but whatever decision I go with, I will ensure they have a wonderful home.


Any thoughts?

It is a difficult decision to make. Have you considered getting your 40 gallon breeder viv for each dragon and stacking the vivs? I'm sure others can offer recommendations on stacking so that each gets the proper heat and light.

That would be a hard decision to make. I wish you luck in whatever decision you do make.

I really wish I could help you out on this one. I dont even want to think about how hard this decision is. I could never make such a choice.
All I can say is youre in my thoughts.

I say STACK em.
google crossfire enclosure. simplify it and build 3 and stack em.

bingo. you can put all three of them in their own enclosure and take up no more than 4 x 2 foot of space from floor toward the ceiling.

Thanks everyone.

And thanks Tom, I think that sounds like a future idea for me.

Everyone, I think all of them are going to stay. I'm actually getting an antique (I think it's antique) display case tomorrow (technically today lol) from my aunt. I already have a Repti-Glo 8.0 on hand so I'll just need to put some vents in, install some fixtures, place some tiles, and I'm good! I think it'll only cost about $50 to do it all so that's not too bad.

:)

I'll update everyone once the new enclosure is all set up!
