Hi addsiee

Me again more newcomer comments subject to better advise from the more experienced here..
The Sand...I know you say they don’t eat it but when I let my dragon I noticed he licked everything... he seemed to do this to taste and test his surroundings...Mine were on sand and I was told they don’t eat...They don’t but i came down to the refrigerator 1 evening & there was Chubb Chewing away. I don’t leave food in with him and I fish out all foods. So sand was the only thing...But I was told they don’t. Next thing He ate some in front of me....I was stunned
Guess what I’m saying is I’m not with them all the time so based on good advise I got the sand out. It’s not worth a sick pet. Anyway Tile or paper are easier to clean
To separate them you could divide the Viv if it’s an ok size until you get a new Viv with something solid that won’t fall over but watch your temps. Or maybe you could borrow a fish tank. That’s what I did. Why did I? Does this sound familiar, well Chubb is missing a piece of tail and a toe and it happened in the petstore when they were small ( I can send you photos if you like)... Fergie & Chubb shared the same Viv happily together with the previous owner and with me...But D advise must be right...One look and I thought it didn’t happen recently but it did happen so it could happen again.. These guys are bigger now. Bigger means more damage or even death. I’m not taking a chance especially when more experienced beardie lover’s are telling me to separate. So I Did. If your still not sure google a few other lizards types like tegus and you’ll get the same advise. I know it can be conflicting but I’ll upload o show poor chubb
I’m new also and setting up a second viv and learning about reptiles.. It’s not cheap I know its tight on cash but you could consider making one and savin’ a few bucks.
Beardiefan17 is right don’t breed them their probably to young...there is a breeding 101 care sheet on this site also...
What size are they? Have you looked under the tail to check genders.....?
Crickets... Fergie & Chubb would kill me with a stare for offering them...They get a mix of worms for 15mins or till full.
Bathing is definitely a good idea... Chubb is not really fond of it but he is doing better for it and it helps establish a routine with him. She thinks I’m trying to drown her...lol
There’s me ranting and ravin as if I hadn’t talked to anyone in months so i’ll leave it at that.......Don’t forget to post some pics
