My beardie is 16 inches long and almost a year old, if not already a year old. I got her from PetSmart, so I don’t have a lot of details about her breeder or exact age. I got her in June 2024, expecting to upgrade her enclosure urgently (I had a free 20-gallon tank), but then—boom—financial issues.
At that time, I had just gotten out of the mental hospital, and my mom wanted to cheer me up with a beardie. I can’t work due to my major depressive disorder (severe, recurrent), autism spectrum disorder (level 2 needs), and various other mental health issues. However, I can handle her, especially with my mom’s occasional help (though she barely helps because I take very good care of her).
Lately, I’ve noticed that she hasn’t been eating or moving much in her 20-gallon tank, even though I take her out for feeding time. So, I built her a cardboard enclosure, and I hope it works. I will be getting her a 75-gallon tank in the summer once my dad gets paid, but for now, will this do?
