How Do You Care For A Bearded Dragon Lizard?
Bearded dragons are lizards that are native to Australia. They are growing in popularity as pets because of their docile, friendly and sociable nature and relatively easy care. The size of this lizard also makes it easy to keep as a pet. Bearded dragons measure approximately 1 foot when full grown. Choose a tank that is large enough to allow for each bearded dragon to have approximately 4 square feet of space. Line the bottom of the cage with newspaper, reptile rug or child’s play sand. Do not use bark chips or other large pieces of material because crickets can hide in the chips making it hard for the lizard to find and catch his dinner. Provide ultraviolet light for your bearded dragons for at least 14 hours out of every day. These lizards need to bask in the sun. The daytime temperature in the basking area should be allowed to reach 100 to 110 degrees. The rest of the tank should have a daytime temperature in the 80s and a night time temperature in the 70s.
