What is the ideal size tank for a Bearded Dragon?<\/strong><\/h2>\nFor Bearded Dragon’s it\u2019s important to think about comfort first. Bearded dragons prefer a lot more horizontal space than they do vertical space. This is mainly because the bearded dragons are not very good at climbing.<\/p>\n
They appreciate having more floor space than they do vertical space, so for that reason you need to look at tanks that are shaped correctly, as in they need to have more horizontal space to keep them happy.<\/p>\n
If we are talking about the minimum sizes, then for a smaller baby bearded dragon it is advisable to have a minimum of 20 gallon tank.<\/p>\n
For a larger adult bearded dragon, you would expect to have a minimum of 40 gallons. However, it is better to have a larger size from the beginning, rather than trying to cut corners and go for a smaller tank for now.<\/p>\n
If you can afford to get a larger tank, it will make your bearded dragon feel more comfortable and allow them to grow into the tank size. Four example you may feel that your bearded dragon will end up requiring a 50 or even 75 gallon tank.<\/p>\n
In this situation, it is better to actually invest in a larger tank first from the beginning, even if it is a baby, letting it grow into a full-size tank, rather than buying a few different sizes as it grows.<\/p>\n
What are the different types of tanks available?<\/h2>\n
There are three main types of tanks that you you may consider for your Bearded dragon.<\/p>\n
They are the following:<\/p>\n
\n- Glass tank<\/li>\n
- Melamine tank<\/li>\n
- PVC tank<\/li>\n
- Custom Professional Tank.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The glass tank<\/h3>\n
The glass tank is one of the popular choices when it comes to housing bearded dragons. It looks classy and allows you to see your bearded dragon clearly, and it also doubles up as a potential centrepiece for your room.<\/p>\n
The negatives things about the glass cage is the share weight and the insulation. Unfortunately the glass tank is quite bulky and heavy and it does not insulate the heat very well. These are the main cons of this option, but with that said many people still decide to go ahead with these.<\/p>\n
Melamine tank<\/h3>\n
The Melamine tank is a type of wooden board which is coated in laminate. This type of tank allows you to see your lizard one one side of the tank, which could be regarded as a negative thing.<\/p>\n
You have the option of painting the insides to whatever colour you desire. The downfalls of this tank are the weight. It it quite bulky and hard to move.<\/p>\n
The PVC tank<\/h3>\n
The PVC tank is another popular choice. This is mainly because of the cheaper cost, and the fact that it is lighter than the other options discussed before. Making it easy to move around, or relocate for aesthetic reasons.<\/p>\n
The custom professional tank<\/h3>\n
These custom made professional tanks are usually very expensive, but they are high-quality. For bearded dragon owners, that do not have a limited budget, they are ideal.<\/p>\n
But why are they so expensive? Because they come up with a custom built moulded plastic enclosure. The beauty of this is that it is one piece of moulded plastic, which is quite aesthetically pleasing.<\/p>\n

The EXO Terra vivarium<\/a> (Click here to see the reviews on Amazon) is another great choice. As well as having a glass finish it also has some amazing looking textured Sandy walls.<\/p>\nIt has large swinging doors which makes it easy for your bearded dragon to be taken in and out, and also allowing you good access to clean.<\/p>\n
It is shipped fully assembled so there is no need for you to have to spend time putting it together full stop it has a water-type shield base which is another good thing.<\/p>\n
The only issue I would say is that when you get tanks that come fully assembled there is a good chance that you may find that it could get broken in transit, this may not happen to you but it is a consideration never the less.<\/p>\n
