I wouldn't pick either! They are not the sizes said to be,if so then they are really skinny. If you do get them and something turns out to be wrong with them,do not be surprised.

Free,if thats the case then,Take both and you CAN try to save them, and when you see the guy if he has any other reptiles,try to start a conversation about proper husbandry, direct him toward some forums,books and or articles.

But not knowing what exactly else is wrong this might get pricey and difficult. Hope they still have a good appetite.

Good luck with them if you get them. It's a sad thing to see. Make sure to keep them away from other animals for a while in case they are carrying something. I would definitely direct the current owner to a forum, I always suggest various forums to people. You can even mention the forum as a great place to chat with others with the same animal instead of "to learn more about their care", some people get pretty defensive.

id say try not to house them together beardies dont really like friends and since they look underfed even as juvi's the agression may be raised i had many hatchlings when i first started lost toes or tails because of fights or just being clumbsy eaters also stay away from any form of sand they are not near as hardy as a tegu mines on tile retains heat well they should end up being some pretty morphs tho!

I know the cages are all set up&they have tile bottoms &what if you feed them each in a seprate area one at a time then there would be no need to fight over food atleast.
