Just a thought.

Hello all,

This is just an idea, but I'm curious. Could you keep eastern blueys with central beardies? I love them both, and since they eat the same and require the same accessories, why not keep them together? One problem though. I'm not sure what eastern blueys like as a basking temp.:? I've got my beardie, his basking temp is about 35-38.8) The cool end is around 25-28. [The rock below the lamp get pretty hot after a while, so I move it often. The lamp is one of those red ones, and its 80 watts.] I don't think eastern blueys like it that hot. Is that true? If it is, how would blotched blueys go? Are blotchies illegal in VIC?


Sorry for all these questions. As I said, I'm just curious, and I need some help from the experienced reptile owners!!

Thanks heaps,
Thomas.

No it isn't a good idea, they both need different basking temps etc. (Get the beardies basking temp upto 40c)

Oh, thats a shame. I would get the temp to 40c, but the red spot globe is only 80 watt. The thermo only goes to 30c. When the globe busts out I'll get a 100 watt. The the temp ON the rock, however, goes over 45c!!:lol:
