3ft * 1ft * 1ft to small for a bearded dragon?

[The_oboe_man]

I have a 3ft *1ft * 1ft fish tank that im thinking about converting to a reptile enclosure for a bearded dragon. I just want people's opinion on if i should go ahead or buy a new, bigger enclosure. I was also thinking about geting a Dwarf bearded dragon but they seem rare and hard to find.

Thanks

I would say that would be ok for a Beardy.

An Adult beardy?

 

[shamous1]

Yeah good point. Once they get bigger they will need more room to play, especially if they get a play mate.

 

[The_oboe_man]

So what would you recomend?, getting a new tank, or refermishing the old one...

i've got pygmys.. they aren't really rare and the season for hatchlings
is approaching although it can be hard to hold out lol

 

[shamous1]

How old is the beardy? That's the first question.

Isit that you are thinking of getting one soon? or already have a young one?

 

[The_oboe_man]

I don't have one yet as I still haven't decided what to do regarding the tank

 

[shamous1]

If you are getting hatchies your fine for a year or so. If you are thinking of getting an adult it may get too small when you want to ad a friend into the mix.

IMO i think it would be fine for any type of bearded/pygmy dragon.
but wouldn't introduce another lizard in an enclosure of that size

 

[The_oboe_man]

ex1dic, where did you get your pygmy's from?

 

[ex1dic]
