If you can afford it, get a smaller tank to start with, maybe 800 or 900 long is plenty for a young beardie. As it grows, it will need at least a 1200 long tank. A heat source and a UV are both necessary, as is a basking rock under the heat.

Thanks everyone I spent my whole day researching them and have learnt a lot.

What you can do is get a big enough size tank for when it's older and just separate the tank off while it's young do that way it over and d e with


Also you will need at least an 18 Watt uvb light that runs the length of the tank with a basking spot of about 35-40 degrees
