Temperature Level

Tank Temperatures: The enclosure should consist of a hot spot (under heat light) of 105F – 110F. The ambient (cool) side should stay between 78F – 83F.
Heat Lighting: Zoo Med 100 watt Repti Basking Spot Lamp for 20 Gallon. Zoo Med 150 watt Repti Basking Spot Lamp for a 30-40 gallon tank.
UVB Lighting: Zoo Med 13 watt Reptisun 10.0 UVB for 20 gallons. Zoo Med 26 watt Reptisun 10.0 UVB for 30-40 gallon.

Humidity Levels

Humidity levels should be 30-40%. The tank should be well ventilated. A large water dish will help maintain these levels. We do not recommend soaking Bearded unless dehydrated or stuck in shed. Too much moisture can cause fungal infections.

Diet/ Feeding

Food: Live crickets, live mealworms, superworms, and roaches. Bearded Dragons are omnivores so fresh veggies like red & green leaf lettuces, shredded sweet potato, and squash should also be offered. Calcium with D3 and multi-vitamin powders will be necessary. From the baby to the juvenile stage, powder supplements are necessary in a daily diet. As adults, every other day works great. Babies will eat daily while adults will eat every other day to every two days.

Habitat Needs

Enclosure Size: Babies and yearlings can be kept in a 20-gallon long tank. Adults should be kept in 30-40 gallon breeder tanks.
Substrate (Bedding): If sand is your preferred option, Zoo med Reptisand or Vita-Sand is best. If a mat type is preferred, Bearded Dragon Carpet is best. Crushed walnut is also a great all-natural alternative.
Accessories: Hide cave or log, branches (this is important for the animal to get higher and closer to basking lamp), rocks, water bowl

Ease Of Care

Bearded dragons are great for kids, beginners, or anyone desiring a hands-on pet. They remain manageable their whole life, reaching a maximum length of 18-20 inches. They are very tame and have been a staple of the reptile industry for decades.

Breeding Method

A courtship ritual occurs where the male starts bobbing his head, waving his arms, and stomping his feet in front of the female. Females can lay upwards to 3-4 clutches of 20 plus eggs a year. The eggs need to incubate at 84F for 60 – 80 days.

Natural Range

Distributed across the majority of Australia

Fun Fact

Bearded dragons often shed and regrow their front teeth. However, their back teeth are permanent.
