I reckon they could put a little more weight on, not too much though. I do see a problem with the enclosure - it should be longer than it is tall, in particular, if they aren't always at the top of the log they are not getting enough UV. It also looks to be a bit of a fall risk too.

yeah i was going to change it so the log isn't so high. yeah one spends the entire time at the top. i might up the uv bulb so they gt a bit more. its a new tank. still getting it set up. have you got any suggestions on the enclosure.????

Only sell it and buy one thats longer than it is high. Thats not a bad snake enclosure, but really not designed for beardies.

What are the measurements of the enclosure and what sort of beardies are they? Centrals, Pygmys etc??

The tank is 900*900*400. They are Easter bearded dragon (pogona barbata).

Well if they can live in it for another 6 months then i can put my bredli in there and move them to a new enclosure.

That enclosure is not the best for lizards. Beardies/lizards are mostly ground dwelling animals, so floor space is more important than height, also a wider & lower enclosure will make it easier to maintain an optimal climate.

Just offer as much food as they will take & they should be right!
