Just curious to know if I would be using too small of a tank to house 1 beardie. Thanks!

Hi, From what I have read on here and other places, a 40gallon breeder would be the minimum size for one adult but a 60 or 75gallon is more preferrable, the bigger the better. The 37 gallon would be good for a juvenile beardie though. Good luck

What are the dimensions on the tank?

Just based on the fact it is only 37gallons, regardless of dimensions, i would say its to small. The smallest cage for an adult beardie should be a 40breeder at least, although i think 75gallons are much better.

Keep in mind how big an adult beardie is going to be (17-22inches) they need to be able to comfortable turn around in their tank, and usually any tank marketed as "tall" is too narrow for this

What type of reptile would be suitable in a 37 tall??? Thanks!

Sounds like a good tank for a group of anoles or geckos. Something that likes climbing.

Ok, thanks! Now, then, I'll prolly get a 55g or (if I can afford it) one of those vision cages. They look pretty neat! Thanks again!

Its okay I guess. I personnaly keep mine in a 100 Gallon with my other female but thats because I have two and lots of space in my house.
