I just have a few questions as I may be purchasing an adult (or sub adult) Beardie next week at a reptile expo. I've been doing some research and reading care sheets (so far the one of beardeddragon.org seems most descriptive and most helpful).
Do males and females stay around the same size, or are females larger than males, vice versa?
I will be housing it in a 40g tank, but if that is too small I will most likely purchase a larger enclosure. How can I get a basking temp to about 95F? I will have a large log the Beardie can bask on that will be 6-8 inches away from the top of the enclosure (care sheet said to have the UVB light in reach of 6-8 inches away from the Beardie, so I will have the log 6-8 inches away from the screen top) so I was wondering what watt basking bulb should I purchase?
On a daily basis, should I feed the Beardie greens, crickets, and pellets? I've seen baby Beardies eat pellets, so I'm not sure if only the babies are supposed to eat pellets, or both the babies and adults.
What are some good vegetables, greens, and fruits that you give your Beardie?
How many crickets (on average) does an adult/sub adult Beardie eat daily?
Thanks for the replies, I'm really looking forward to owning a Beardie.
