What Kind Of Baby Bearded Dragons Can I Get In A Local Pet Shop ? :?:

It all depends on where the pet shop gets theirs from and what that breeder has.

They usually only have the regular ones around 6 weeks old. At least that's how old they are when my pet shop sells them.. they go quick.
I recently went i think last saturday and i saw one that couldn't have been more than 4 inches long.. little cutie pie.
I have seen a couple there with a little color.. like a little orange down its back.
If you wanted a certain, guaranteed morph (red, citrus, etc.) or a silkie/leatherback you need to go to a breeder.

I Wanna Buy a baby bearded dragon but I want to know how many light bulbs do they need? or can i start off with one then get the other ones later?

 

[midmichicer]

You need a heat bulb and uvb tube. These are a must to start with.

 

[BeardedDragonGoon]

How Much Do They Go For ?

 

[midmichicer]

Well, the uvb is $25, you can use a household bulb for heating, they are around $3. The fixtures are about $30 for both.

 

[BeardedDragonGoon]

Can they live with those two light bulbs until they are adults or do I need to buy different ones?

 

[midmichicer]

The bulbs will not last that long, they burn out like any other bulb. The uvb tube needs to be replaced every 6 months, even if it doesnt burn out.

When I Buy My Baby Dragon How Many Inches Should I Buy Him/Her

 

[JessLC]

Shouldn't matter as long as they are healthy.

 

[midmichicer]

Make sure they are around 6 weeks old.
