Just got a few more items for a new dragon enclosure. Just gotta order a few more things so I can set it up, I have a 55 gallon glass tank I'm trying to make into a home for a new dragon. I want to have everything how I want it, so I can test the temperature for both day and night in different parts of the tank, BEFORE I even buy my very first baby/juvenile dragon. Can't wait #excited...

A 55g tank isn't ideal for an adult dragon. You will want to get a bigger tank eventually. With bearded dragons, it's not the gallon size that's important, it's the length/width/height. A 55g is only around 13" deep and it doesn't give an adult dragon enough space to turn around. Plus a 55g is high, so you are going to need to play around with basking bulbs to get the right temps in your basking spot.

Thanks for the knowledge. What I will do is, use the tank for now, being that I have an extra 55g laying around collecting dust. It should be fine for a juvenile and I'll be sure to get a better/larger sized enclosure. Thanks again
