Hi Tito,

Well, the only thing with a larger tank and little beardie, is they need it very warm.....110-115 in the basking area......85 on the cool side and no drop below 75 at night to be on the safe side. So that means higher wattage bulbs. If you get an 8-10 weeks old with some body fat.....they can get a bit cooler without difficulty.....



With a newborn 4 inch or smaller hatchling....you need to feed it at least 3 times per day ...preferably 4 or 5 for optimum growth. They dehydrate more easily and are just much more tenous or delicate......I really suggest you get an older one.....buy from a reputable breeder.....you will pay a bit more but have many less problems and good support when you have questions.



Hope this helps, beardies are wonderful and it's even better when you have a good experience with a healthy well started beardie.
