Hi! This is Yota the 2 month old bearded dragon. Isnt she cute!!!!???? We got her about a week ago and so far so good. She eats ALOT! and she is the best cricket hunter ever! We are first time beardie parents and any suggestions would be great!
Right now she lives in a 20 gallon cuz shes just a wittle baby but soon she will be in a 55 gallon.
Hi and Welcome!! Congrats on your new baby! They do eat alot now but that's how they grow to be strong and healthy! There are answers here to just about any questions you may have!
Everything looks good in your cage.....except for the sand. And before you say that it is special bearded dragon sand its not. Sand is sand and can cause impaction, this is really dangerous for her with her size. Tile is great just lay it in or non adhesive shelf liner this is super cheap to. But even tho sand may look nice, it can kill your beardie. If you have any other questions we are all here!! WELCOME!!
Cute Beardie !!! I love your name! Cuz my Niece is Chelsie and my name is Dawn and her name was supposed to be Chelsie Dawn, but my brother in law changed it to Chelsie Lynn at the last minute.
Thanx everyone. And i have been telling my boyfriend that she shouldnt have the sand but thats what hes been telling me "its special bearded dragon sand." lol liar! I actually have some shelf liner! I will go put it in right now. Is it a bad idea to have sand when she gets older? or should i just use tile? oh, and they have some liner at the reptile store thats sort of capet-ish. Would that be a good idea?
Great that you are going to take out the sand! Tile would be a much better option, and to be honest, its very cheap. Cheaper than that reptile carpet you can get at a petstore, and tile is much easier to clean.
Basically any tile. You want there to be some texture to it, I don't know exactly what type of tile I use, but the two things you want are, easy to clean, and has some surface to grip on. You don't want you dragon to be sliding around when it tries to walk haha.
