Here are the essentials for a Bearded Dragons cage Bearded Dragons must have at least two sources of heat. They need a long UVB light lamp and a heat lamp with at least a 60 watt bulb. You must maintain at least 80 degrees in its terrarium. The UVB bulb is important because it supplies vitamins and other nutrients that the sun gives off, but never place the terrarium in direct sunlight. For the flooring you should use sand or small rocks, but if you have a baby bearded dragon you should use terrarium liner. Terrarium liner is easier to clean. The babies do not pay much attention to what they are eating, so when they ingest sand they will digest their intestines and die. They also need plants such as cactus, long grass, and plants you may find in a dessert, but try not to put any more than four plants. Remember, make the terrarium as close to a dessert biome as you can. You may want to put a dessert back drop, because if the terrarium is near a mirror, the lizard may get confused and might try to attack his reflection and will result in him hurting himself. Last, you must place a dish of water in the cage, also place either small or large crickets, flightless fruit flies, and/or meal worms in the cage. All of these items may seem pricey, but I believe it is worth it. Most of these supplies can be purchased at Pet Co and Pet Smart.

Why should you get the Bearded Dragon for a pet?
It matters why you want to get a bearded dragon. Bearded Dragons are very good for beginners with reptiles. I've had 1 bearded dragon they are very good as long as you take them out enough they can become tamed and they will liked to be held more. If you want a lizard that isn't hard to take care of the Bearded Dragon is the way to go. The most important part about them is making sure they are tamed. This means you must take them out of their tank at least 3 times a week. When they get big enough and they are tamed they will allow you to put a harness on them and you can walk them. I think Bearded Dragons are good pets if your going to pay attention to it. They are not like some lizards that you don't have to feed them everyday. One reason they are good pets is they are very nice. It is very easy to tame them and once you set up their tank the right way and they like it, it will be easy to take care of them if you don't give them the tank they want/need it will be very hard You need at least a 20 gallon tank for a baby if adult you need at least 50.
