New baby beardies =)

Yeah, we pulled the Reptiglo off when we saw it was bad for them so we took them outside for a while every dayin the interim, but today we just got in the Reptisun 10.0 along with some Reptiworms too We took some pictures this morning of the hypo? shedding this morning and man she really looked like she was in an Elmer Fudd cartoon, explosion and all lol. One of them really took to the Reptiworms right off of the bat and the other had a few, but think he is getting ready to shed himself. We'll see how he does on them tomorrow. I'll try to get those pics up of the splosion, haha.

Awesome can't wait to see the hypo " exploding " haha

Here's some pictures of the splosion while one of our babies was shedding. It took her about 30 mins or so to get all the shedding skin off. I thought it was really funny to see her, lol. Glad we caught it and she is also stealing a piece of greens off the mouth of our other one. They have picked at the salad off and on over the last few days and they both ate a good bit of the Reptiworms this morning too. They are lovin the new UVB and I have to try to figure out if I need it more over their basking sight. We're not sure if being 6" to the side toward the front is ok because they can't get directly under it.

Nice that's awesome! I like the one were sheis climbingdown the rock

stealing greens from the others mouth is already a sign of dominance i would really suggest seperating them

I guess that I used the wrong wording and should have descibed it a bit better. She didn't really "steal" it from him as he ate some of the salad and climbed all the way back up to the basking spot with a little piece of salad hanging from his chin. She licked it off as he was just hanging out up there. I guess the picture do make her look a little menacing, but they always hang out together and they haven't picked on each other at all. We're here pretty much all day, except when I have medical appts. or shopping, etc. I could see if one of them were keeping the other from eatting or nipping when they were close together, general pushing around, or if one was taking food while they were eatting etc. I believe that would all indicate dominancee just like any other animal out there. We are trying to keep an eye out for any of those signs so that I know whether I need to build separate enclosures or not as they get older. We've seen that several people have posted that they have successfully housed beardies together with no major issues as long as they have enough space and stay well fed. I would imagine it depends on their personalities a lot too, though. Am I wrong in this thinking? Thanks for pointing that out to us too. We definatley don't want them to be fighting, etc. and if we have to separate them then that is what I am going to do. Better to have happy beardies that two contancourous ones on edge all the time lol.

I'd say if they are happy together,keep them together, but in a few months when they get older and bigger, your probably gonna change cages anyways, just get 2 cages
