RE: Enclosure For Bearded Dragons.

nope as long as they have places to hide, their food is accessable and they have good basking spots there shouldnt be any issues. beardies love a good area to explore

RE: Enclosure For Bearded Dragons.

yes they are good as long as they are not too far away from the basking spot. 2 foot is too far away so you will need to provide a log or a rock so they can get closer and bask. it is also good to give them vitamin/ calcium supplement, I dust my live food twice a week. .

RE: Enclosure For Bearded Dragons.

They need to get at least 30cm away from it closer is better. (but not to the point that they can touch it or jump at it) I only keep centrals, they are a good starting off beardie as they are more readily available. but any species is relatively easy to keep if you have done your research and provide them with all the necessary husbandry needs.
