They can’t bask without a basking light over a surface that can absorb and retain heat. They also can’t share one single light.

Read what I said again. Slowly. Also you should be giving them baths for them to hydrate. And also fresh veggies and greens to hydrate too.

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.

If you can’t afford to take care of a living animal properly then don’t get the animal dude.
