Hi everyone.

Just curious. In your experience, at what age does a bearded dragon need to be moved out of a 40 gallon tank? Is there an absolutely urgency to it or is it detrimental to health?

I have seen SO many different responses, even some saying that 40 gallons is good for life. I want to save up for a Zen habitat and want to know what my timeline is. My baby is 2 months right now. I’ll attach a pic! :)

Welcome to the forum friend. In our opinion, I couldn't imagine my girl still being in a 40 gal tank and she's 6 months old. So I don't think it's kind to have it in there full-grown, not at all. However you are asking how long you got, I would say a few more months. You have time :D The wife loves that pic cute Lil :lol: one all spread out

Thank you! Yea I knew 40 gallons couldn’t be good for life. Just moving out in may and that would be a great time to change enclosures, but maybe earlier. Glad you like that pic because the baby is sooo tiny!!

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
