Hi, I'm Lauren. I just bought my first bearded dragon. I work at a pet store, so I interact with these cuties on a daily basis. So I decided to get my own. I'm positive mine is a female, so I named her Sparta. I've held a lot of dragons, and did a ton of research before I bought one. I've started out with a 10 gallon as she is just a baby. But when I upgrade, I was thinking about skipping 20 gallons and just getting a 40 gallon. Would that be ok? Right now her tank is pretty simple. I'm saving up money for more stuff. I'll post a pic of her and her tank. Tell me what you think.
Oh, and right now she refuses to eat fruits/veggies. But she loves crickets. She eats about 5 per meal and then quits eating them. Is this enough? I mist her a lot too because I'm so worried about dehydration. I gave her a short bath tonight. She fell asleep on my chest so I put her to bed (back in her tank). I learned not to use infrared red light. So I just keep all lights off. Anyway, right now my crickets are chowing down on carrot and green bell pepper, because I've learned she can get the nutrients that way.
I also have a betta fish that is a male but looks like a girl so I decided she's transgender and named her Princess Kate. I also have seven fire belly toads in a 20 gallon. They don't have names. But it's definitely co-ed in there haha! Here is Sparta:
