I just got 1.2 babies. I have them on newspaper & small water bowls. Is this alright for now? I also have hide boxes and climbing branches. Thanks, Dave

No, I would say it is not sufficient.

Depending on the size of your dragons....Minimum of a 20 Gallon long aquarium till they grow larger and then.. 55 Gallon or a 40 gallon breeder are the best choices for adults

Daylight UVA incandescent bulb & clamp light fixture
Fluorescent UVB reptile light
Calcium supplement with D3
Vitamin supplement

Make sure ALL heating and basking devices are on the same end of the enclosure. Your dragon needs a cool zone and a hot zone in order to thermo regulate. ALL Bearded dragons require high temperatures to digest their food.

They must have uva and uvb light and a basking site.

Much more and I guess someone else will jump in here.

I am guessing your new to Beardies since you had a post earlier asking what to feed, etc. My suggestion to you would be to research on the web. Some great sites out there for info and basic care, etc. I have some basic and "not so basic" info on my site.... try this link and browse the care sheets and shopping list and feeding sheets, etc.

Good luck!

Dragons will seem and act healthier the brighter the light is. Just room light leads to a dragon that is lifeless.
