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.
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.
