Re: New Bearded Dragons
Um, I read on the caresheets that the temps need to be 110. That is pretty hot, is that right?

The sand can cause impactions because beardies like to taste their environment and they do not understand that standing water is water...so they could possibly drown and probably they will not drink from the bowl. 84 is a good air temp but you need a basking spot of 105-110.

Re: New Bearded Dragons
water is not needed in a dragon enclosure. they need dry desert type of environment. calci sand is the worse thing you can have for them, IF you want to use sand, use playsand from the hardware store.
in my sig, if you click on the instructions for the bearded dragon enclosure - you'll find some really great links to important into.
like for example: they must have some kind of protien food. silkies are the best, don't smell and pretty easy to care for once you get going.
also, only one dragon per enclosure!
