Help! I just bought a pair of agamas!
I did something a herp lover shouldn't do, I purchased an agama(I don't know what species it is) because I felt sorry for it. There was a tank of WC agamas(labled toad head agamas but they sure don't look like toad heads). The female is gravid she is bright orange red colour with a dorsal diamond pattern. She is only about 5inches long and quite lumpy with eggs. The male is dark (probably form stress) he has a purplish blue throat. They both resemble bearded dragons. There were at least 10 of these in a 15 gallon tank. There was no place for the gravid one to get away or a place to lay her eggs. I hope she doesn't die! They were very cheap only $20ea. I have the pair set up in a 20 gallon tank with a heat pad, florecent light and a basking light. Sand substrate, rocks to hide under and a piece of drift wood to bask. Can anyone give me some advice? I don't usually make purchases like this with out doing a ton of research first. I'm kind of mad at myself!
