That cage sounds good to me. You could even put a pair in there. If you build another cage you may want to consider building it a little higher. beardies like to climb a lot, the go to the highest place in their cage all the time. They do this to get close to lights, look out for thisngs that can eat them and that they can eat, and for domanince. We sure would like to see pics of the cage too. But anyways yeah its big enough for at least one bearded dragon.

Are you planning to put an adult or a baby in it?

I can only buy baby from my pet store.... How should I do thing I have 3 anoles and I want to get a BD How should I put thing ??

Im not sure if you ment you have three anoles and you want to get a bearded dragon. Or that you have three anoles in that cage and you want to put a dragon in with them. You never want to mix these species, for a number of reasons. Most importantly would be health of the lizards. your dragon most likly would get loaded with harmfull parisites. And well the anoles eventually would get eaten. Not to mention beardies are desert species and anoles are forest species and they both need far different care. And it would stress both species out a lot. If you didnt intend to mix the two then sorry for misunderstanding.
If you are planning on putting a baby in that large of a cage you may want to consider starting it off in a smaller tank. Or sectioning it off. Your baby might have a hard time hunting. And possibly get stressed out in that large of a cage. hope this helps.

peace,

Even without the health issues... anoles would be beardie potato chips...

I would suggest starting a baby out in a 20 or 30 gallon tank. By the time it outgrows that, it won't be so lost in the big cage.
