[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1828687, member: 89387"] Well, I'm glad that you and your critter family all survived the leak, even if it was no fun for a while. Hopefully things are back to "normal" now (whatever that is :wink: ). Lots of people think that a 40 gallon tank is too small for an adult beardie. I would think that 80 would probably be adequate. We got a 125 gallon tank for Puff -- we aimed for the largest that was feasible, and it took two guys to haul it in here. It does nasty things to the electric bill to heat the thing, too. I think Puff would probably be ok in something smaller though, since he rarely uses all his space -- spends most of his day zoning out under the heat lamps. Couch potato dragon, but then I have no right to blame him for that because I'm a couch potato too. :mrgreen: You and I seem to be in the same boat when it comes to future plans for bearded dragons. I love Puff and Squirmles, and I love having them, but my lack of sufficient energy to care for them consistently and reliably means that my poor husband gets stuck with most of the hard work, so if I outlive them it would be unfair to him for us to get any more, although he's willing. My tentative plan if they both die before I do is to keep the empty tanks for a month or so and see how we both feel, and if we discover that we have lizard or snake shaped holes in our hearts, and if we think we can still take care of them adequately for the rest of their expected lifespan between the two of us, I'll start watching the local animal control website for reptiles that are up for adoption. But neither of us is getting any younger, and it makes me sad to think that I'm getting too old and too disabled to have pets any more, and that it's gotten to the point where it would be unfair to both the animal and my husband for me to have a little critter to cuddle... :cry: Jeepers, I guess we're both a little depressed -- don't want to forget to love and enjoy them while they're here. Gotta think about something happier -- looking forward to Thanksgiving with family and friends maybe? We're planning a quiet Thanksgiving at home, unless we get an unexpected dinner invitation from one of my sisters. None of us has a big enough house to get the whole extended family all together in one place, so we usually all just do the holidays with our own immediate families. But my husband's church is planning a game night and bring-your-leftovers potluck on Friday night, so we'll have that to go to if we're both up to it, and if not, we'll just cuddle the critters and go to bed. :) [/QUOTE]
