What you need to house a hatchling to juvenile bearded dragon:
-
One 15-20 gallon aquarium. $10-$15
- One secure 15-20 gallon tank lid (screen orr grill). $10
- One heat light fixture with a 50 to 75 watttage light. Can be bought at a
hardware store. $5
- One fluorescent light fixture (can be small with one light socket or larger with
two 18-24"). $8.00-$18.00
- One Uvb florescent light. Repti-sun 5.0 or Zoo-med Iguana 5.0 light are the
best. $10
- If you have a double fixture a Uva plant liight will work with the Uvb light
or you can use two Uvb lights. (Uva light) $10.00
- Humidity Gage (Not a necessity. Room humidity is fine) $10
- Two thermometers, one for each side of the tank. (I use T-rex) $25.00
or a thermometer from radio shack with a probe so it can be moved to each
desired spot. $20.00-$25.00
- Paper Towel for substrate. $1.00-$2.00
- Shallow water dish. Cost more if you buy he rock shaped reptile ones. $1.00-$10.00
- Hide box. You can be inventive here. A plasstic container upside down with
a hole cut into it (make sure it is not see through) or buy a hide box from
a pet store. $1.00-$20.00
- Basking rock or log. (I use drift woood, it is fairly inexpensive. Cost me
$7.00 for the one in Argo's cage.) $6.00-$30.00
-can also get driftwood from nearby lake or river and wash in a bleach
solution 10% bleach 90% water.. (free)
- Plants. I prefer to use fake plants with my dragons. Easier to maintain and
ensure the baby dragons do not eat too large a piece. There should be at
least one on each side of the vivarium so that the dragon will have adequate
hiding spaces. $5.00-$20.00
- Food dish. You will need a small dish for ffruits and veggies and juvenile
beardie food. You can use a plastic pbutter lid or buy a small bowl from pet
store. $0.00-$5.00
