Your dragon needs a nice kingdom to watch over from his favorite limb or log high above (about 10 to 12") . The width amd length are the most important to a dragonn, being able to turn around and move to one end or the other without half of his body still being on the other end. 4' long and 2' wide are optimum but you want at least 2' of height or higher ( up to 3' ) to give him plenty of climbing room. 2' works best because it is easier to heat and get good gradients across the viv.
I know....clear as mud now, lol!!!
You can go 72" if you want, the more the better and, 24" is plenty wide. I still wouldn't go much over 24 tall, may 28" max to cut down on possible injuries, because as much as they like to climb, they will jump from anything (they think they can fly)!Reptilelady":iezr7z1v said:I measured my terrarium. Outside is 18 inches but on the inside is 16 inches. Also, been measuring around the house and found good length spot that the most i can have in that area length/wide wise is 58 inches. So is 48 inches the minimize size for an adult or should i go a bit bigger like 55 inches or so?
18 inches depth isn't going to be wide enough i don't think either so maybe 24 inches depth would be good so he has some room to turn around in and feel comfortable. Does this sound right?
this is why they are called Bearded "Dragons" right?Gormagon":mgopg4of said:You can go 72" if you want, the more the better and, 24" is plenty wide.
