how long could a 40 gallon breeder hold 2??

[Scrammy]

I don't get my new baby til august and I'm going crazy waiting.. I'm thinking of getting another one in the mean time. I have a 40 gallon breeder tank that I would divide with ..I dunno.. something..so they wouldn't be housed together ever.. but how ling before they out grow that and have to be moved?

Hello Hmmmm.... That honestly depends on the baby. Some grow faster then others. I would wait as set-ups can be very costly and an unexpected expense may arise with your August baby. Your 1st check up alone can hit the wallet hard if an issue is found. It's also very hard to split a 40gal and provide different gradients in heat as each baby would only have 20gal of space. 2x's the heat, 2x's the UVB. It would be tricky. Hope I helped a little. Good luck :wink:

Yes you helped..you are right, it would probably get white costly. I'm just getting so impatient... Grrrrrr..

Aw, I hear ya. The anticipation is killer. :x I knew I wanted an adult but I he or she had to be under 3years old, under $100 with a passable set-up and couldn't be more then 1hr driving time away. I waited months! :roll: It was so hard passing up all the cutie pie babies I came across. I wanted one so bad! Then by fluke I found an add on Kijiji. 'Bearded Dragon, Orange' I clicked (just out of curiosity) I was shocked! :shock: A beautiful beardie just over a year old in my own small town! $100 for everything! Needless to say, that beardie is now my sweet baby girl. My paticence paid off. Waiting flat out sucks. But I swear to you it's worth it. :wink:

within 3 to 4 months they would need their own tanks i think. the babies do like to run around their tanks.

maybe in the future after you have started your own feeder colony and find another tank real cheap you can get a second beardie. it's kinda hard to just have 1, i have two and i would take in another if i had the room!

Well after my second beardie grew up and needed a 40 gl tank I had this nice 20gl long just sitting there empty. I was tempted to get another baby it was killing me! But even though I had room for the 20gl I knew there was no way I was going to get another 40gl tank to fit in my room! So I got a leopard gecko instead which happily fits in my 20gl long and will never need a bigger one! :mrgreen:

So my point is maybe you should get something else that is easier to tide you over with, like a mouse.
