Bearded Dragon Question 
?
Hello,
So I am getting a baby bearded dragon soon, almost 2 weeks old. I have told the pet store owner which one I want. When I was handling it, it was calm and cool. It did not move to much, but it just “Chilled” on my hand. It was cute, so I told the pet store owner to hold on to it for me until I buy it.
So right now, I am going to but it in a nice 10 gallon tank (and obviously I will move to a bigger one as it grows). I also know what decorations I will put, a nice hide, a water dish, substrate, etc …
My question is, how should I set up the basking area? Should I get some sticks/wood and adjust them up high right underneath the light? Or should I just get some rocks that are just a bit higher than the surface and just have it under the light? I hope you guys understand what I mean
I just wanted to know how I should setup the basking area, thats all .
Thank you!!
At the pet store they should sell “drift wood”. Or just any type of basking platform. (dont use outside wood/rocks, they could have bacteria on it and that could cause your bearded dragon to get sick.)
There basking spot needs to be around 100-100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Also to make sure you are getting everything you need from the petstore I will post my guide that I made for bearded dragons!
Heres Everything you will need for a bearded dragon (I wrote this my self)
TANK:40 gallon breeder tank is the bare minimum size tank for a adult
Bearded dragon. I would recommend A 55 gallon or a 75 gallon tank.
Or you can build a custom tank (this is what I did)
Here is a link– http://www.freewebs.com/crossfireenclosures/
For babies I would recommend a 20 gallon long tank. Or you can just buy
one of the bigger tanks and put some card board in there to make the tank
smaller (so your bearded dragon doesnt get overwhelmed).
SUBSTRATE: Dont use any loose substrate as this can cause impaction and
that can kill your bearded dragon =(. Please use solid substrate like
paper towels,news paper. I have found NON-ADHESIVE shelf liner to work
best for bearded dragons its cheap and you can get in different colors!
UVB BULB: You will need a 10.0 Uvb bulb, fluorescent UVB bulbs tend to
work alot better. The compact uvb bulbs are know to burn your beared
dragons eyes!
BASKING BULB: I have been using the Zoo Meds basking spot lamp.This is
working out great for me. It keep the basking spot exactly the right temp.
You can use house bulbs just check the basking spot and make sure it gets
around 100-110 degrees Fahrenheit.
LIGHT FIXTURES: You will need two of these one for the basking lamp and
one for the uvb bulb (the uvb bulb fixture will depend if you use compact
bulb or the fluorescent bulb)
BASKING SPOT/DECORATIONS: You should get a branch of some sort at your
local pet store for your bearded dragon so it can get closer to the
basking bulb and closer to the uvb bulb. Decorations can really make your
tank stand out! stuff like a little water fall,fake plats, statues.
————————————————————————
LITTLE STUFF YOU WILL NEED:
*Temperature Gauge
*Humidity Gauge
*Food bowl for veggies
*water dish of some sort to keep humidity up
*Screen lid for top of tank (dont want your bearded dragon escaping!)
———————————————————————
FOOD: You need to be able to have live crickets (dont feed them meal worms
this can cause impaction) for your bearded dragon daily. So it is best to
buy them in bulks online or breed them. here is a couple websites where
you can buy them in bulks.
http://www.lllreptile.com/ – You can also buy many things from them
http://www.premiumcrickets.com/ -Best quality crickets you can find
http://www.reptilefood.com/
VEGGIES: You will need to provide veggies for your bearded dragon daily
You should feed them stuff like Collard Greens,Mustard Greens,Green beans,
Butternut Squash etc. Here is a link of save stuff he/she can eat
