Female Argus

[BSM]

I just got this female Argus a few days ago, it wasn't living in the best cage . Everything in the cage was completely wrong 100f basking spot, no dirt, in a fish tank, etc. I found out that my friend sold her to him last April as a juv. and he tells everyone that they need large cages, about 1 to 2ft of dirt, 130 to 170f basking spots to any one he sells the babies he hatches too. He is a person that if you need help or have any questions he will gladly help you out, So its such a shame. My female i got from him in sept. is now 36+ inches while this female who is a few months older is 32 inches and half the thickness of mine. My camera screen is broken so the pics where just an aim and shoot

size comparison (adult male 3way cross about 30 inches)

The cage she might be going in, in a few weeks. Still alot of work to due on it though. need to add more dirt/sand , leafs and some logs

Thanks everyone
The only bad thing about the 3 pure Argus i have (1.2 or 0.3) is that there all related, so im trying to find another female to throw into the mix..

The female started eating so that's a relief and i will be pairing her up with my 3way cross, that should make some interesting babies.

What do you cross an argus with? Are there like different locals or something?
