Question A few questions on my first bearded

My wife and I are getting our first bearded dragon this Friday (maybe 2). There is a reptile rescue in northern Va that we are going to. Someone dropped off 4 babies that they "couldn't care for". We are getting one, possibly two of them.

I am attaching a picture of them, so someone could maybe tell me what color they would be considered. I have looked all through this forum, and everyone has some BEAUTIFUL beardies. I hope ours turn out as nice. I know this picture isn't the best, but I will post better ones Friday after we pick them up.

Also, what is the best "bedding" to use in their tanks? Should I use the reptile sand found at most pet stores? Any advice (on this or any other beardie info. I should know) would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!!

These (from the picture) look like they are of a normal pattern. As they are young, don't use sand... I would use newspaper or paper towels for them (sand can cause impactions) Don't purchase both if either one is a male, males fight with eachother and, if it is a male and a female, then they will breed, probably at a young age, which can cause health problems for the female in itself. Also, if they are from a pet store then they are probaly related and since dragons have a small gene pool (they is no exportation from Austrailia, and so all dragons are descended from a few founder animals) they may have offspring with birth defects.
