I need two temp vivs for two adult dragons. I don't have the money to buy two new tanks. I used any possible money buying the beardies actually.
I bought a male and female in a 20gal tank, on calci-sand with fecal all over. They were getting UVB and calcium powder and veggies (spinach and carrots) and worms. There was a coil bulb, just not sure if it's UVB or just a house bulb for light, and a black bulb. The owner was nice, but just not well educated about them and didn't pursue a more thorough education. He had them for about a year. They don't have names, and I'm trying to avoid naming them because I know I'll then become attached and keep them! (I already have names, but I'm trying to resist!!!)
I have big boxes available since I'm in the process of moving. Would this be a suitable cage until an appropriate solution could be found? I would use paper towels for substrate like I do with my Saxon.
I can afford correct lighting, food, logs, basking areas for now.
I'm in class so I was unable to get them out of their tank immediately, and I plan to do so when I get home. (After a bath for both, in separate containers.)
I hope I posted in the correct area. I'm not sure if they are considered rescue beardies completely or not, so I posted here for at least about the vivs.
Thank you!

Edit: I have check craiglist for an adequate size, but nothing is available. I've been looking for a bigger tank for Saxon for almost a week and nothing is really cheap. Vegasans like to mark up their prices.
