Juvenile Bearded Dragons2007-11-24 2:01:31

Can I put them in a large aquarium when they are little or should I start with a twenty gallon and then move them into a 50 gallon? Does it affect them if I start them in the 50 gallon?

Answers:

You can start him/her in a 50 gallon. If you have more one I would not use the 20 at all. A 50 is a good size

Yes, start him in the 50 gallon for sure. Bearded dragons like lots of room. Be sure to put lots of branches in the tank. Even though they will usually pick a favorite branch, I've had good luck with my bearded dragons :)

no it doesnt affect them if you put them in the 50 , just keep them occupied with hideouts , plant terrain ,visual stimulation .

no.you can start him at any size tank you want..belive me i had bearded dragons before.my baby one was in a giant tank..so dont worry..

The 50 gallon would be better because it is easier to obtain a temperature gradient in a larger tank. It needs to be very warm, around 85-90 F at one end and around 75F at the other. The basking area needs to be around 95-100F. Use thermometers at both ends to monitor temps. Use a black light at night for heat. Also, place the UVB bulb above the heat source where he will bask so he gets proper exposure.

it doesnt really matter I mean ur just giving then more room to grow thats it and anyways you have more than one so yeah go ahead
