Would I be able to keep a Bearded Dragon in a Reptarium?
Thanks

I think so. I just got my first baby beardie and he' s in a reptarium. So far no major problems. The basking area is still at 100 degrees and the rest of the enclosure is about 80. I think it's good, because it virtually eliminates humidity and it makes large enclosures are so much more affordable. Plus, he absolutely loves climbing up the walls, which he obviously couldn't do in a tank. I think as long as you make sure the temp is staying adequate you'll be fine.

Thanks! I have another question. How much was yours? I have found so many different prices I didn't know what to ecspect.

I got mine for $29.95, plus shipping at www.reptiledirect.com. It's 65 gallons, and the softray liner was extra.

Yes you can, but I have heard it can be harder to control ambient temps in one. If you can keep in a room that has a constant temp with no drafts you should be OK. The only other thing I would consider is that some BD's have lost nails in various mesh type structures like some hammocks and reptariums.
