Just wanted to thank everyone for the feedback.



Still working on a bigger 2nd enclosure but they are now separated and smaller of the two already seems to be flourishing. He's much more active and almost instantly started to go all those places in the cage that the bigger one had staked as "his". He's started very actively eating his crickets (which he wouldn't do before, they would climb on him) and he seems to be doing very well.



The bigger one seems pretty impressed with his new expanded world, and is eating his greens throughout the day as well as his live food every other day.



The bigger one seems to have one nostril that is plugged up or something, I'm not sure whether or not to be concerned about it. His tail was shedding when I brought him home. Temps are just under 100 ambient air on the hot side, about 105 basking, and mid 80's on the cool side. He seems to be breathing fine and doesn't mouth agape unless he's been in the heat for a while and usually moves shortly after that starts. Could this just be a nostril shed that hasn't come out yet?



I could still use recommendations as to the best place to order live food online as well.



Thanks everyone.
