| Humidity: |
Suitable humidity levels for Bearded Dragons are
in the 40% area. For those of you who are in low
humidity areas you can place a dish of water in
the enclosure or mist it frequently to obtain this
level of humidity. |
| |
|
| Lighting: |
A full spectrum UVB light should be used for Bearded
Dragons with 12 hours per day of light given. |
| |
|
| Physical Design: |
An area in which the Bearded Dragon can hide is
necessary, this can come from a full out hide box
or from a collection of branches and leaves. A rock
or elevated area in which the lizard can bask is
also a good idea. |
| |
|
| Size: |
Bearded Dragons do climb although they do not
spend as much time high up as some other lizards.
For this reason the enclosure should have a large
surface area on the floor but should still provide
room for the dragon to climb upwards. |
| |
|
| Temperature: |
Bearded Dragons require a relatively large temperature
gradient ranging from 70 degrees F all the way up
to 100 degrees F. To achieve this gradient only
heat one end of the cage. |
