You can bathe a beardie at any size, just make sure that the water is not too deep (I go just a bit below his shoulders). My dragon is 11.5 inches right now and I will be giving him a short bath (well as long as he will stay in, like 5-10 minutes or so) just to keep him hydrated.

I really don't know about the skin thing, I've never heard of anyone talk about their beardie eating their previously shed skin. About the 'eating eachother' they won't actually eat eachother, but if they are kept in the same enclosure they can fight for dominance and beardies can lose...

Hey welcome to the forums and good luck with your future beardies. If they are housed together now, you should consider housing them seperately because they male can overbreed with the female and stress her out a lot, and if they are related they could inbreed. I'm not from the bay area, but...

Okay then, those are good temps. How old/big is the beardie you got, and do you know the morph/bloodline?

Thats a little hot, but it will be hard to get the temps down with only a 25 gallon. Is one whole side 110 degrees or just one basking spot? If its the whole side, lower the temp so just one basking spot is 110 degrees. Edit: Yes you turn both the basking light and UVB light off, you should...

It would be okay for a short while, but he will outgrow it very quickly and need a 55-60g at least.

Mesh cage really wouldn't be very good for a hot desert animal, they are more for tropical animals that need good ventilation, like a chameleon. Although your mesh cage wouldn't be fit for your dragon's main enclosure, it should make a fine outdoor enclosure for your beardie. The only pros I...
