Is it true that beardies can grow to the size of their tanks?

I've had my beardie, Charlie (female), for 4 years now. My parents keep telling me that she'll keep growing into her new cage if we get one. Is this true even though she is full-grown?

It depends -- some will grow after the age of 2 but normally they will stop -- what size tank is she in now? It also depends on genetics as well

I couldn't tell you the exact measurements but the bottom carpet is for 20-gallon tanks so I assume that's what it is.
Please look on Craigslist or FB Marketplace for a tank --- look for one w/ front doors -- if you find one you will need to sanitize it real good w/ Rescue or Zoo Meds WipeOut or some F 10 found on Walmarts website

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
