Will Zed ever out-grow his viv?

[AutumnFire]

Before I got him, I was advised that the Viv Exotic VX36 would have enough room for an adult beardie and Zed seems very happy in there. However he just keeps growing and growing and I'm worried he may eventually run out of room in his viv :? does anyone think he will out-grow it, or was I right being told the VX36 will be big enough? Thanks!

Does vx36 mean its 36 inches? If so, it's probably the size of a 40g breeder tank, which is said to be able to house an adult, but it's the minimum amount of space they need. I usually suggest a 4'x2 for an adult, especially a male, or a 75g tank, but it's not too small for him, so it'd be a personal choice whether you want to keep him in it or upgrade a little bigger.

I wish vivexotic vivs were available here in the US. They're priced very well. The model you have is ok for an adult. However, the standard for an adult beardie is 4X2X2 feet. I know vivexotic makes one at right around that footprint so that may be your best option when your dragon is at full size.

it's 92cm long (not sure in inches)... yeah i'd read up on 70-80g tanks being the best but I didn't have the room :study: well I'll see how he goes and re-arrange the furniture in case I do need to upgrade, thanks for the advice!

I thought they did sell them in the US... I had to search long and hard to find one in the UK... maybe we were both looking in the wrong places :lol: what type of viv are you using? Yeah, I'd read that 4ft tanks are recommended, I shall just have to make some space for one! Thanks for the advice
