    Pro Exotics has them and Reptile Basics does too.

    I'm sure if they were kept singly, and kept properly, they would have even better feeding responses. What if your male, when he got sick, had gotten your female sick too? More than likely, your two snakes(who aren't yellowbellies btw, sorry to disappoint) will stop eating as reliably when winter hits. Cohabitation creates stress, stress creates a weaker immune system, and you could be setting them up for respiratory problems, as well as feeding problems, later on down the line.

    I keep all of my animals singly, with the exception of two female Crested Geckos, and have 06 Ball Pythons who are 1000g and not even a year old yet.

    It's about beardie's, I should add that only the basking spot need's temp's of 110ish, the air temp should be around 80-85 for a baby. What is your basking spot setup like? If your using slate or wood, measure the surface temp of it. I heard you say stick on thermo's so im assuming your measuring the air temp?

    It's about Beardies, but the husbandry issue is the main point.

    When taking temps for a beardie you will need surface temp not air temp. You will want to mount the probe to the basking area. If your air temp is in the 80's more then likely your temps are over a 100.
