Hey I have 2 bearded dragons, one that is 10 inches and one that is 12.5 inches. I am going to get a bigger aquarium so I would like ideas.

If it would not be to much to ask, I would love to see pictures of where you keep your bearded dragons. you can post them into this forum or email me @ bstewart1010@yahoo.com. Thank you.

First off, since your dragons are different sizes and since you didn't mention sex, it would be best to get two new cages, one for each dragon. Minimum size for a single bearded dragon is 4'x2'x2' or roughly the equivalent size of a 50gal long tank. Second, you can build your cage yourself, buy a pre-made cage or large aquarium, all are suitable for bearded dragons. For pictures and ideals, the cage/habitat forum has quite a few. forums.kingsnake.com/forum.php?catid=4

Unfortunately I don't know what happened with the pictures I had for my bearded dragon, before I sold her and the cage. It may be uploaded under my regular nic, if not then it's gone, sigh.

I agree, house them separately. Minimum for a single dragon is 36"x18" of floor space, I feel this is a bit small, but a single dragon would do fine in a 40 gallon breeder. If you can do 4'x2' of floor space, then by all means do so. I feel that 24" high goes unused unless using mercury vapor bulbs and then it's necessary for the proper distance. In my opinion 20" high is plenty.
