I have 2 beardies and one of them is in the basement and i want to bring her into the room with my other beardie and i was wondering should i get a fecal test first? I got her at around 7 months old from someone who didn't want her anymore

Airborne illness I wouldn't be too concerned about, but a fecal test isn't a bad idea either way. If they come into contact with surfaces that have been contaminated with feces and not sanitized it can pass infection. There are fungal infections that can spread through contact with contaminated surfaces as well. That said, many people have more than one dragon and they get time out of the tanks (not necessarily together). If you keep everything pretty well cleaned and sanitized, and wash your hands well between handling each dragon, then the risks are probably minimal.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
