She's done growing but is 33 gallons too small for her?

Yes! She needs at least a 50 gallon, they like room, dude.

Definately more room than that, the tank should be long enough to run, "jump", climb and dig in, and she should be able to turn around comfortably.

Generally a 40gallon breeder tank is the smallest size for any size adult female, although bigger is always better

I know most use fish tanks to keep herps in, but gallons are not really the issue. The main thing is square footage of the enclosure. I would say for an adult dragon that 6 square feet would be the minimum. For example a four foot by 18 inch enclosure would be the 6 square foot minimum. 2by3, also. Bigger is of course always better at least for adults. I forget the measurements of a 40 gallon breeder, but I think it would also meet that minimum.

Thanks for the replies. When I first got my beardie I looked at several different threads here and they all said 33 gallons is the bare minimum, but as my beardie is growing it really doesnt seem like enough.

Time to upgrade!
