KEEPING BEARDED DRAGONS!! ~~~~BY JONAH~~~
So, first of all, I am not 10 anymore.
I am 11.
Gee, how does it feel, Jonah?
Wow, not that much different from being 10.
Also, I am thinking about getting a bearded dragon over the summer.
Some of you reading this already know that, but I just wanted to tell you.
HERE ARE SOME CONDITIONS TO KEEPING YOUR BEARDED DRAGON! -BY JONAH
What do you need to have?
First thing: you need a terrarium.
A terrarium is a clear tank that you can grow plants in, keep animals, etc. You need like, dirt, a light, and maybe a rock or something to make a simple terrarium.
For an adult bearded dragon, you need like a 50-75 gallon tank.
In the tank, you need sand or something (or a felt bottom) and something to climb on. Or multiple things. Like a rock, sticks, etc.
You need a light to sun, and a UBV spectrum that runs the length of the tank. Bearded dragons need UBV light in order to synthesize Vitamin D so that they can break down calcium. Something like that. You also need a shady place that is cooler, so that they can maintain their body temperature.
One fun thing you can do with your lizard is give it a bath. It needs to soak in 85-95 degree water to maintain cleanliness, and also to help shed their skin. Put them in a little dish, and leave them there for about 15-20 minutes.
As for feeding, there are a variety of things for them to eat. Dubia roaches are a great option, and they LOVE crickets. As they get older they can eat more vegetables, fruits, and leafy greens. Strawberries, kiwi, peaches, mango lastin (whatever that is), and even pinky mice are great for eating.
Water can't be that hard, can it? It's not as simple as it sounds.
Don't you just give them a dish and walk away? Sort of.
They like to lick water off of walls and accessories, so use a light misting bottle to put little water droplets. You also may want a dish just in case, clean it out every day or two.
Cleaning up waste....Everyone's least favorite part. Fortunately, it isn't as hard as it seems. Scoop waste out every week, and change the bedding every month. It's worth it to have such a friendly, loving pet.
SEE YA!
