Bearded Dragon
« on: October 20, 2006, 02:30:05 AM »

Bearded Dragon

Housing:  An enclosure for a bearded dragon should be at least 40 gallons to accomdate their adult size.  If kept as a pair, aim for at least 55 gallons.  For a decorative substrate, calcium sand is the best and most natural looking choice.  Provide a large branch under a heat lamp for basking.  You'll notice they will spend a great deal of their time there, especially after eating.  An appropriate sized hide box will be needed for each individual.

 For water, a small water dish will suffice.  They may also drink droplets of water if you mist the inside of the enclosure.
Environment: A bearded dragon's captive environment should mirror its natural one  the rocky, semi-desert regions of Australia.  The proper temperature for bearded dragons is 75 to 85 degrees, with a UVB light basking area of around 90 degrees.

Feeding:  Adults can be fed insects every other day, with daily fruits and vegetables.  For young dragons, feed appropriately sized crickets.  For adults, along with larger crickets, you can add mealworms and superworms as a treat.  Insects should be dusted with calcium/Vitamin D powder.  Fruits and veggies offered may include: greens, romaine lettuce, carrot or radish tops, pesticide-free flowers like dandelions and clover, carrots, bell peppers, cooked potatoes, raspberries, bananas, apples, grapes, and peaches.
