Your tank is long enough, but 15" in width is too small, the your beardies tall will be bwnt all the time. Try and find something around 24" wide.

I keep my pair in a 48x20x24, and they're doin fine:D
Careful about the male on that tank size should he exceed 21 inches, reptilez. The hemipenes are kept in pockets in the base of the tail and if he spends too much time with his tail curled up it can lead to fertility problems and an increased risk of prolapse.
Imagine compressing the family jewels every time you turn around. Ewwwwwww!!!

he's 22inches. he spends most of his time basking, he almost never sleeps curled up.
Is your basking temp high enough, it's very unusual for a healthy male to spend most of his time basking, especially when caged with a female. They tend to be quite active then.

basking temp is 105F-115F(somewhere between there). But im at skool 6 hours a day, so i dont know what he does when im not there. when i am there he is either eating or basking.
