Bearded dragons are one of the most popular pet lizards around the world. They are docile, easy to handle, and have a very friendly and curious nature. Bearded dragons thrive in a well-maintained enclosure that resembles their natural habitat. Choosing the right bearded dragon enclosure products is crucial to providing your pet with a comfortable and healthy environment. In this article, we will discuss some valuable tips that you should consider when choosing bearded dragon enclosure products.
Tank Size
The first thing you need to consider when choosing a bearded dragon enclosure is the size. The size of the enclosure depends on the size and age of your bearded dragon. Baby bearded dragons need smaller enclosures compared to adult bearded dragons. It is recommended that you provide at least a 40-gallon tank for an adult bearded dragon. However, if you want your bearded dragon to have more space to move around, you can provide a larger enclosure. The enclosure should be equipped with a basking area, hiding area, and a water dish.
Substrate
The substrate is the material that covers the bottom of the enclosure. You must choose a substrate that is safe for your bearded dragon and easy to clean. The most popular substrates for a bearded dragon enclosure include newspaper, reptile carpet, and tile. Avoid using sand, gravel, and other small substrates that your bearded dragon can ingest, leading to impaction.
Basking Area
A basking area is crucial for a bearded dragon as it mimics their natural habitat. Bearded dragons love to bask under a heat source to regulate their body temperature. The basking area should be equipped with a heat lamp that provides a temperature of around 100°F to 110°F. You can use a basking platform or a rock for your bearded dragon to climb on and bask under the heat source.
UVB Light
UVB light is essential for a bearded dragon's health as it helps them metabolize calcium and regulate their immune system. Bearded dragons need access to UVB light for at least 10-12 hours daily. You can use a UVB fluorescent light to provide the needed light to your bearded dragon. Make sure the light is positioned in the enclosure at an appropriate height to allow your bearded dragon to bask under it and absorb the UVB light.
Hiding Area
Bearded dragons love to hide when they feel stressed or threatened. The hiding area should be sufficiently large to accommodate your bearded dragon comfortably. You can use a large rock, a hollow log or a reptile hide as a hiding area. Make sure the hiding area is positioned in the enclosure away from the basking area and the water dish.
Water Dish
A water dish is necessary to provide your bearded dragon with clean and fresh water. Bearded dragons are not known to drink water often, but they may soak in it to hydrate their skin. The water dish should be big enough to allow your bearded dragon to soak in a comfortable position. Change the water daily to avoid bacterial growth that may lead to infection.
Temperature and Humidity
Bearded dragons thrive well in a warm and dry environment. The enclosure should have a temperature gradient from the cool end to the hot end. The cool end should be around 75°F, while the basking area should be around 100°F to 110°F. Humidity should be maintained at around 30% to 40%. You can use a digital thermometer to monitor the temperature and a hygrometer to monitor the humidity level.
Cage Accessories
Bearded dragons love to climb and explore their environment. You can add some cage accessories like a basking platform, a hammock, and branches to provide your bearded dragon with something to climb and play on. These accessories also make the enclosure look more beautiful and appealing.
Conclusion
In summary, choosing the right bearded dragon enclosure products is essential to provide your pet with a comfortable and healthy environment. The size of the enclosure, substrate, basking area, UVB light, hiding area, water dish, temperature, and accessories are critical factors to consider when selecting bearded dragon enclosure products. By following these tips, you will create a beautiful and safe home for your bearded dragon to live in.
