Reptiles make great pets for those with the proper mindset, and Bearded Dragons are among the most popular of those reptile pets. They are sturdy, just small enough, and eat simple, variant diets. With a lifespan of up to fifteen years, they can be a good long term pet, but only with the proper care and attention to the lifestyle and necessities of their diets.
Ok so my girlfriend is going on vacation with her family for a week and asked me if i would mind taking care of her beardie while she’s gone.
Of course i said no problem and I’ll do it,
I already have a Chinese Water dragon and It’s not like im new to reptiles or anything.
She’s giving me the cage, bowls, water, food, and all that Lighting UVA and UVB.
I was just thinking is there any extra things i should be concerned with? I’m Usally more of a tropical reptile handler, so the beardie is new to me even though i have the basics down.
Bearded Dragons need a large enough habitat to allow for a variety of distances from the heat source. A glass aquarium is recommended for security, ease of maintenance, and pet viewing. To avoid the expense of multiple habitats as your pet grows to adulthood, consider using a partition that can be easily adjusted. This way, throughout the life of the pet, you can use a single large aquarium, 55-70 gallons.
The white melamine is a material that keeps the cage very bright which is important for stimulating a dragon’s appetite. The light (and the UVB) stays inside the cage rather than escaping through the glass sides of an aquarium. Glass fronts will allow the dragon to check out their world and interact with you.

Who here has a Rankins Dragon and where did you find it?
I REALLY want a bearded dragon, but my fiance’ doesn’t like the fact that they get so big. When I learned about Rankins Dragons I knew that they were my solution. I know they are very hard to find, so I’m wondering if anyone can help give me an idea of where I might need to go to get one.
I have no idea where you could get one, but I found a neat website for them;
