    Thanks Reptimom!!!! I was able to get them permanently separated on day 2 of me owning them. Here is a rundown of their current setups:

    #1
    Male - Not sure of age, Guessing under 6 months. Around 6-8", nose to tail
    Enclosure - Plastic 24x20x14. Top, bottom, and sides are not transparent and are off-white. the front is a clear Lexan plastic door.
    Heat - Halogen flood light on a dimmer for basking spot and this tank sits on top of my AP T8 for my bp, so ambient temps stay warm. Basking spot, on top of his rock is about 105F, coolest part of the enclosure is about 80F.
    - I'm using kraft indented paper as a substrate.
    - He has a shallow water bowl approximately 6" across and about 1/2"-3/4" deep. Also a small food plate for greens.
    - He has a hide on the cool side and also space under his basking rock if he wants to hide there. He spends most of his time on the basking rock or standing against the front window.
    - Has a large piece of grapevine that allows him to get up close to the UVB light or just climb around on.

    Female - Not sure of age, guessing under 6 months. Slightly larger than the male in body girth and length
    Enclosure - Glass 20g long tank with screen top
    Heat - Halogen flood light on dimmer for basking spot. heat tape under bottom of tank to keep the floor of the tank in the mid 70's. Basking spot is about 108f, and cold side of the enclosure is about 76F
    - I have reptile carpet in this one for now
    - same water bowl and food bowl
    - elevated basking spot with hide underneath
    -also has a grapevine that due to it's size/shape, offers a hiding spot underneath it. This goes from the middle of the tank to the cool side.

    Both tanks have a UVB Reptisun 10.0 bulb that spans pretty much the length of the enclosures, on the inside so the dragons are closer to them.

    I just got them this past Saturday. They both ate 5 or 6 crickets that day, and have only each eaten a few since then. I'm hoping it's only due to some relocation stress. I've been offering both of them collard greens, finely chopped and misted. I don't expect them to eat much of those, but still offering. I have been offering dusted crickets twice a day in a separate tub. they have both pooped, so I know that's a good sign. The female actually shed yesterday, which caught me by surprise. She is by far more active than the male. He doesn't move around very much, but again, hoping he'll settle in soon. I'm trying not to handle them or fool with them aside from feeing times until they start eating better.

    I'm open for thoughts, suggestions, comments... anything.
