We are unable to take him to a vet as yet because the closest exotic one is almost three hours round trip. Since he is still acclimating, we feel that such a rigorous excursion would be quite detrimental as we are trying to settle him into his new enclosure conditions. To put you in the picture, we do use a moderate amount of Repashy Grub Pie or Beardie Buffet daily along with a hearty salad in the morning and then about two dozen medium to large feeder insects later in the afternoon. This is a schedule that he seems to depend upon right now. Since we are using Repashy meal replacements, as well as proper UVB T5 tube lighting, is a full calcium supplement needed. If so, — which one — how much — & how often?

Can you recommend organizations/businesses to buy a bearded dragon? I’ve read that box pet stores aren’t the greatest. Is this true? Our older son has been asking for one, but I don’t know the reliable places to get one. Thank you.

The skin of a bearded dragon is extremely rough and can cause severe scratches if it is not handled properly. Once acclimatized, the reptile will be more friendly and easier to handle. To prevent minor scrapes and cuts, it is a good idea to wear long sleeves or light gloves when handling the beardie. Remember that all reptiles can be infected by Salmonella bacteria. This can lead to severe illness.

You must set up your habitat before you can bring the bearded dragon home. You must ensure that the bearded dragon has heat, food, and ultraviolet light. It is important to inspect equipment, particularly the ultraviolet light and basking pad. It is important to maintain a constant temperature throughout the day. But, it is also important to keep the humidity low.

Setup a Bearded Dragon Tank Bearded horses require a clean and dry environment. You can keep your beardie happy, healthy, and comfortable by placing it in a cool, but not too humid room. The ideal room should have a door. Keep a dehumidifier away from your beardie's bedroom. This can disturb the beardie's rest.

Alone, Bearded Dragons are happy and friendly lizards. They will occasionally hide, but are content to frequently change back and forth between their basking-spot and shade. It is possible for Bearded Dragons to go through a brumation period where they eat slightly less regularly and sleep for two weeks to four months. Many breeders will send their dragons through brumation before sexing. This can be achieved by keeping the tank at 60℉-75℉ for 4-6 weeks and gradually increasing the temperature with time.
