Care tips for a bearded dragon?
PLZ ive wanted a lizard for ages but my mum wont let me have 1 unless i get some n formation 1st so PLZ can you help me.
I would really appericiate it if you could tell me the cage requirements but i would really like to know what you do with your lizard when you go on holiday(if you have 1)
Thanks for your answers in advance.
P.S.PLZ HELP ME
The minimum for an adult is a 55 gallon long tank. Prefferably bigger. 70 gallon if you can get away with it. DONT use sand as a substrate it will kill your dragon. Ceramic tiles are good, newspaper and papertowels are cleanest. Vinyl flooring works. Dont use adhesive flooring the high temps can cause bad fumes. You need a special UV Light and a heat lamp. You will want rocks and logs for him to climb and hide in/on.
As for vacation you really should take him with but if you cant then get a timer for the lights (its just a surge protector type fixture with a timer) and that will help with his lights and see if a friend or neighbor you can trust will watch him. SOmetimes you can ask a vet and they can watch him.
Here are some good links on care
