A perfect Bearded Dragon habitat should have:

A bearded dragon can go about 24 hours without a heat lamp or other external sources of heat, if the temperature is above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. If they go longer without heat, they will start to lose their appetite and be unable to digest food.

Bearded dragons can live with other reptiles of similar size and from dry, hot environments if there is enough space. Male bearded dragons should NEVER be placed with another male, and it’s still recommended bearded dragons be kept alone.

• 75-gallon wooden or plastic tank.
• 50 watt dome-head UVA basking bulb.
• Tube shape UVB light secured underneath the mesh lid.
• Felt reptile carpet.
• Two dishes for food and water.
• Lots of plants, decor, hides and caves.

Bearded Dragons really shouldn’t live together. By nature they are solitary reptiles and housing more than one Bearded Dragon in a single tank can cause lots of problems such as stress plus battles for dominance, territory, food and more.

Bearded dragons can become attached to their owners and perhaps other animals. Many pet owners tell stories of their bearded dragon’s affection from seeking attention to cuddling up (article on bearded dragon cuddles).

Yes, It’s actually possible for Bearded Dragons to kill each other. There are many motives as to why one Bearded Dragon could kill another but the reasons will usually point to a fight for dominance and food.

Bearded dragons can have intense territorial streaks, particularly the males. Never keep a pair of two male bearded dragons in the same enclosure. If male bearded dragons live together, they could partake in aggressive, territory-fueled battles which frequently end in physical harm.

Use a flash-light (phone flash-lights work great) and shine through the base of the tail, above the vent on the tail’s topside, and look at the underside. If it’s a male, the two mentioned hemipenal bulges should be easily visible. If female, you will not see the two bulges, just the single centre bulge.

Never put more than one male in a tank. A female should not be housed with males until she is about two years old (old enough to breed), and make sure she is healthy and in good condition. Younger, smaller, or unhealthy dragons are likely to run into problems including egg binding.

Bearded Dragons are sexually dimorphic, so the genders physically differ from each other. Males have two hemipenal bulges, enlarged femoral pores, bigger heads, thicker tails and darker beards when compared with females. All of these differences can be seen in adult individuals by using the sexing steps listed above.

You can definitely say that your bearded dragon is happy and likes you when it shows no signs of aggression, just affection. If your bearded dragon isn’t biting, bobbing its head, puffing up its beard when you approach or hissing at you, then it’s good.

To put it quite plainly, no, they cannot, at the very least they should not sleep in the bed with you. Due to their sleeping habits and small stature, it is extremely dangerous for your bearded dragon to be sleeping in the same bed as you and is highly advised against for the safety of your bearded dragon.

Yes, even a female bearded dragon that lives alone can lay eggs. This may be because it recently spent time with a male bearded dragon or simply because it is not uncommon for female bearded dragons, and other types of animals, to lay infertile eggs without ever having been with a male.

Like many birds and reptiles, female bearded dragons can lay eggs without a male, but these eggs will be infertile. This is completely normal and chickens are a prime example of an animal that lays infertile eggs regularly.

Gently sift through the soil for the eggs, the will be soft and rubbery. Carefully place them into tubs. Give the female a bath and lots of food and water and a quiet place to rest for a few days. Bearded Dragon eggs take 40-90 days to hatch if incubated properly.

The answer is yes! Bearded dragons can safely eat scrambled eggs. They can also eat hard boiled eggs.

You can hold a bearded dragon for as long as it will tolerate being held. Start with 15 minutes once a day and as it gets used to being handled, you can hold it longer. Some dragons enjoy being held several times a day for several hours. When the beardie becomes restless, it is time to put him back.
