bearded dragon enclosue size

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
adults will grow any where from 18-20 inches some maxing out at 2 ft:OMG:

i have two beardies at 15" and 18" male and female and i keep them in a 4 ft (w) X 2 ft (d) X 2 ft (h) custom enclosure..
i tried to upload pics but theyre too big and im too tired to resize tonight... will do for ya tom. ;)
 
i would say 4-6 x 2 x 2 is nice for a trio... my friend breeds em in a 50 breeder
 
:confused: :lol:
 
Best would be like a 125 gallon. But then you could get more then one.

beardies really shouldnt be kept together in the same enclosure. the only way you might keep them together is for a couple of females, and even then you may still have dominance issues. the standard minimum size is a 4x2x2 for one beardie. my next enclosure that im building is going to be a 6x2x2, it tends to be the most economical size, you can construct it with 2 sheets of 8x4 plywood.

edit:
the important thing is really floor space, and not height, they're semi-arboreal so a few things to climb on is good. make sure they can get close to the light source as well otherwise they'll end up with mbd.

good thinking. though i have seen them enjoy climbing a lot
 
They will climb and like climbing sometimes but they dont "need" to climb to be happy. And also I kno that it isn't preferable to keep two beardies together but I was talking like a breeding attempt type thing.
