Hi. I'm thinking of buying a bearded dragon soon, but I'm not sure that I'm filling all the requirements to keep a bearded dragon happy and healthy. I currently have fish tank that I'm thinking of changing to hold a bearded dragon, but the measurements are 36x12x19-20. I've heard that the minimum measurements are 36x18x18, so I'm worried that the tank will be too thin and that the bearded dragon may not be able to turn around easily inside. I'm fine with waiting until I have another tank, but could I make do with this size? If not, I would rather have a happy beardie than buying one now with the 40 gallon tank I have.

The tank would do for a baby, but for a juvenile-adult definitely not since the tank must measure at least 18 inches in width by then.

Also, you should probably know that a tank thats 36x18x18 is still way too small for an adult beardie. You should have a tank that measures 4x2x2 preferably at the very least but if not that a 75 gallon can work (48x18x20).

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
