Hi there everyone!
I'll introduce myself a little first, My names Jennifer, this will be my very first beardie (I am beyond excited to get my baby!) I have been looking into getting a bearded dragon for around a year after meeting one at a vets I did some volunteering at and falling madly in love, and finally I am in a position to get my first bearded dragon! I have been told by several people that getting a slightly older bearded dragon would probably be better as a first as I'm sure I don't know everything there is to know about beardies yet and juveniles aren't as forgiving as adults, so here in the UK we get a website called pets4homes and I've been scowering the website 24/7 and I've finally found one who I've instantly fallen for (I'm going to visit him tomorrow!!!)
He is a 9month old little boy who's owners don't have enough time and money for him and :(

If you have any tips for things (aside from the basics) that I should buy before getting my beardie home I would appreciate it very much

Anyway I just wanted to do a little intro on myself and I will keep you all updated on how my bearded baby hunt goes ☺️

Hi Jennifer, it sounds like you're going to give some special beardie a good home. :) As long as you have the basics you'll be fine. A good uvb linear bulb like Arcadia 12% or Reptisun 10.0 t5 or a good mercury vapor bulb [ provides heat AND uvb ] will be good to provide strong uvb. Don't clutter the cage too much. One thing I don't like that is very popular is a hammock....it's easy for beardies to snag their claws + possibly sprain their foot.

Do you have pics of your set up already ? If so, could you post pics ? Here's how :

And do you have a supplier for your insects in mind ?

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
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 💔
