yes as a above poster said 20 gal won’t do. They grow fat and long.
By the time they are an adult you will need a 4’Lx2’hx2’D enclosure.
And not a Terrarium (those are for fish)
You need one that opens not on the top but the main front.
Your basking light, uvb light and crematic bulb need to sit on top. You do t want to have to move those a few times a day to feed her and clean.
See my attached photo.
Light positions and the items I use.
Have your uvb and basking light on a timer. 12 on 12 off. Some people do 13 on 11 off.
The other light I have a Ceramic bulb in. So it puts out heat but no light to not disturb the dragon at night. The thing is is attached to measures the enclosures temp. When it gets below 70-72 ish it turns on. So it mainly works in The winter.
I know all this is information overload.
When I first got mine. I bought what I though was cool ect. And with in a week after reading and research. I returned 80% of it and bought other things that were needed.
