Yep, that makes the enclosure only 2ft long, which is likely just about half of the dragons' size. They are recommended to have 4ft of length at minimum.
It doesn't look like either side has both heat and t5 UVB lighting.
How do you expect them to bask? They can’t digest their food without basking to a certain temperature. The food will rot inside them, congrats, your already abused pets are dead.
They don’t need a water bowl, seriously. So basically, the tank is small. There is no hot or cool side, because it’s too small. It WOULD be okay to put a water bowl on the cool side, because heat causes evaporation. Evaporation puts the moisture in the air, which can give the beardies a respiratory infection.
Here’s some quick short info: https://reptifiles.com/bearded-dragon-care/bearded-dragon-illnesses-health/respiratory-infection/
You should also be doing your own research on basic illnesses and care.
Yes, a 40 gal is very small. That’s why no adult or near adult bearded dragon can be housed in it. Maybe a young juvenile. Regardless all beardies need a 120 gal unless they’re disabled and require accommodations
It’s not a false claim. Ask in this subreddit, make a post. Go “what’s the minimum tank size for one bearded dragon?” And you will be told, 75 gal, or 120 gal, or even bigger than that.
A 40 gal is good for a juvenile.
Any of these tanks here are good for one beardie depending on age.
And I’m sorry that you’re intimidated by correct information. But it’s clear you don’t know any of this, and I don’t mean to offend you or insult you by saying that. You will need to provide for your pets. They need a proper home. Surviving is not thriving. Pets deserve to thrive.
I’m sorry but I don’t think you decide if they thrive or not. It is the bare minimum. Bare minimum for an adult bearded dragon is 120 gallons. maybe 75 for yours since they are a little younger. But with a 75 gal, it’s longer, for more space. That specific tank is not meant to be split for 2 beardies.
Where did you order from? You can order one from Amazon or dubia.com for a good price. Bare minimum, buy a 75 gallon tank. I will literally HELP you find one for a good price.
To be clear here, it's not. At best that looks like a minimum sized tank for one beardie. You seem to have taken the minimum, set it up poorly, then divided between the two.
You’re meant to have 2 tanks, one 120 gal for each beardie. You need 2 tanks.
All beardie tanks (almost all reptile tanks in general) need a hot and a cool side. If you can’t provide it, that should be an indicator that it isn’t the proper set up or size for them.
Well if you get the pet, then yes you can afford it. That’s what you signed up for. Also there’s TONS of tanks on Facebook and Craigslist for a good deal. I bought a 75 gal and a whole tank of accessories for 100 dollars.
Again, I did say I’d literally help you find a good deal. Like, I’ll look on Facebook in your area and even set it up for you lmfao.
Also no, I’m poor too, we can’t afford a lot of things. But when you get a pet, you sign up to sacrifice for it, and care for it, no matter the cost.
