Meet *as yet unnamed*

Posted this in the enclosures thread as didn't see this originally so excuse the duplication.

New to this so be gentle, had lizards before and came into having these almost by accident. Went to a house to buy a car, they also mentioned they were selling these two below, thought nothing of it but got home and felt they needed a good home. Got rid of the sand base and gave the tank a good clean out and this is it so far. Going out tomorrow shopping for bits and pieces to add levels to the setup and give them something to do. In addition will add lot of artificial foliage for hiding etc.

Also adding some kind of backing to break up the plainness of the woodgrain, what's the best way to attach this where it wont get torn down.



Its 48" x 21" x 20". The old man is asleep under the tunnel.

I am considering converting the left hand side to a digging/basking area.

All input gratefully received and any recommendations of good shops in the west midlands also appreciated.

Edit to add the darkness is because its bed time and the light is off.

i like ur tank set up. simple yet pretty design.

Not sure if you live in a wooded area, but you could get a lg. thick branch and bake it before putting it into your beardies home.. that would give them something to bask on and pancake flat out and chill out. They were housed together always so they get along ok?? Is it a female and a male.. if so, do you worry about the female laying a clutch of eggs?? 2 beardies can make more!!

Have been out and bought some decent wood today so they both have covered areas to sleep in, will post a pic tomorrow of the updated layout.

I am concerned about babies as i'm very new to this but yes they have always been together and get along fine.

They had their first bath today, both didn't move.

They also had a stroll outside, the man was desperate to jump out of the low enclosure I built so I took him out and he stood still for 10 minutes, took the lady out and she had a decent run.

That's great that you took them outside.. my vet always told me 10 minutes outside in natural sun is = to 24 hrs. under the best UVB bulb..

This is their new layout, they seem to have settled in well.



its pretty much finished now I think

 

[jacody]

You did a great job w/ that setup.. I think it's perfect.. they look pretty happy in there and glad they can live in harmony together..

 

[Steviefull]

Yep they seem happy, she eats a lot he is more selective but I think that was because of the move they had. Get them out in the garden at least once a week and they have a run round the living room once every couple of days to keep it interesting for them. Never had them as a pet before but seem to be doing okay.
