they are also sitting in a temporary 10 gal tank which is getting switched to a 40 gal. so an info would help.

ty
please help me out...

No, sorry, it's not ok to house them together. Dragons are solitary creatures and don't like sharing their territory. Eventually one will start to dominate the other and hurt them, and even if they act ok with each other for a few months, you don't want them breeding once they reach that age.

Return the light and get the ReptiSun 10.0 off of petmountain.com. It's the best, others can hurt their eyes.

We can help you more with more info, pet stores are, unfortunatly, unreliable at best for good, safe information.

Read the care sheets linked at the top of the forum and just browse around the threads. There's a lot of helpful info and people here. Enjoy your new babies!

I second this.
Please do seperate them as soon as you can.

It is highly likely that as they grow one will become the dominant and the other will not thrive. Beardies can be pleasent one day and attack eachother the next.
My little one is a rescue from a tank of multiple dragons. She is missing a hand and a foot due to attacks.

I know may be frustrating, because most pet stores will promise you that having two beardies together is no problem at all. But you really must separate them if you want them to live a happy healthy life.

If you are switching to the 40 gallon soon, you may want to get a MVB light: they provide heat and uv with just one bulb. The tank has to be 40g or larger or the bulb will overheat it.I have a T-rex Active UV Heat Flood 100 watt http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=435
A lot of people on this forum also use Megaray, their bulb is very similar to T-rex (and I have heard by some that its better, but I will stick with the T-rex )

They are more expensive than the tube lights, BUT they last a year instead of 6 months or less like the tubes. Also, you dont have to buy a UV light fixture (but you will need a deep dome fixture, because the lights are pretty big)

I would recommend either those lights or the Reptisun 10 as peera said. Either one is a good option.

Check craigslist for another tank, I got both of mine relatively cheap from there!

Nope, can't keep them together. For one, since they are brother and sister you don't want them to mate - inbreeding is bad - and there's no way for you to stop that from happening except by keeping them housed in separate tanks. There are also other issues such and dominance and stress to contend with. It'd be best all around to keep them in two different enclosures.

I've never heard anything good about the ESU brand of UVB lights. If you want, you can keep the fixture (its only the bulb that's junk) and put a ReptiSUN 10.0 bulb in it instead (make sure there's no plastic or glass between the bulb and your dragon).

ok im switching them to two seperate 40 gal tanks tonight..

how long of a light should i get?

Thats wonderful.
Thank you for doing the right thing for your dragons.

Im not familiar with strip lights however so hopefully someone else can help you with that.
