>>im getting a bearded dragon tuesday or wed. i have read alot of care sheets and know alot know now all i want from you people are your advice as to what all i do i need to get when i get my dragon i dont have any thing right now and have $350 what all do i need to get? I want currents owners advice so it can be happy and also what food should i pick up?



The food you pick up depends on what the dragon is currently eating (Crickets, pellets, etc) I would buy some nice fresh greens.... Dole makes a salad blend called Mediterranean ... it contains Escarole, Radicchio and Endive. With you only having one dragon, it may work out best for you to buy those salad bags instead of a few huge bunchs of fresh greens.



You will need a tank... 40 breeder would be a good choice, or you could buy a large plastic tote from walmart. You will need a basking bulb for heat and digestion. You need some source of UVB, whether you chose an all in one bulb, or opt for a seperate flourescent uvb strip light. I prefer no slip shelf liner as substrate, but newspaper or paper towels work well also. You will need a vitamin suppliment and also some calcium with D3. A few decorations and a digital thermometer with a probe for testing basking spot temps.



Thats all I can think of right now... someone else may jump in.
