Bearded Dragon Vivariums

About

Bearded Dragons are highly active and relatively large lizards so require a large bearded dragon enclosure measuring at least 120x60x60cm to remain healthy in captivity. Please note that the depth and height are as important as the width; a compact '4ft vivarium' is a far stretch from a suitably sized bearded dragon vivarium meeting the minimum dimensions. As our experts set out in our bearded dragon care sheet : "We strongly advise against the the suggestion that you 'buy a smaller vivarium for now and upgrade later'. Bearded dragons grow extremely quickly and a larger setup will be necessary in a matter of weeks or months. Not only would this approach be a waste of money, it will also prove more difficult to set up the correct temperature gradient in a smaller vivariums due to their tendency to over heat more quickly. If you are told your dragon will stress or not feed in a larger environment this is simply not true - the moment a healthy bearded dragon is old enough to be sold and go to its new home, he or she is old enough to live in a large vivarium and will use every inch of the space provided - especially during their more active juvenile stage."
