Hello everyone! I recently am saving much more money for a bearded dragon im just need some feedback if theres anything wrong or missing.
I currently bought a baby bearded dragon as an impulse buy and sadly didnt knew that they eat soo much! The pet shop near me did accept refunds so im glad i put him back.
What i currently have is a 20 GAL long which is REALLY small for a bearded dragon im thinking to get a 40 or a 75 since price of these tanks are big and possibly with a 75 have no room in my bedroom. Im thinking to get an adult beardie around May when next repticon is going to be shown near me.
Okay, so what i have for my future beardie is:
SolarGLO 160W with Deep dome both by Exo Terra aswell with a stand.
Im not sure if i should get a long UVB light or will the SolarGLO can help with most of it?
Wood hideIts pretty medium size probably for a gecko so i might buy a larger one for him
Small driftwoodas well need for a larger one
Basking Spotis mostly a rock cave that was used for small lizards to hide in but on the top is sort of flat
The substrate was eco earth. Im not sure if eco earth is safe for beardies as much compared to sand which is dangerous my local pet store or they also keep large reptiles use eco earth as their substrate for their adult beardies. So if its not safe then ill try to use tiles or newspapes.
When i had my baby for a day his basking spot was mostly 110F and his cool side was in the 70s
But im glad i sent him back because of how much price was being used for feeding a small. Its crazy
Since ill be saving much more i also have some questions
For an adult beardie if they eat much more fruit than insects.. How much fruits should you get? Like a feeding plate every day? Or is it 2 full feedings of leafy veggies not sure.. And insects what size should they be fed? What i can feed him anything doesnt bug me so i can feed him Dubias and crickets. How much they can be fed? I know theres alot of people saying how much they can eat in a 15 minutes period but just want to clarify.
Last question. I heard that beardies require alot of attention but if you get it at day one is it okay to handle him at the first day or wait few days?
Hope this isnt this too much to ask i just want to be really sure.
Thank you!
