Hi all,

I have a 10 gallon and 120 gallon terrarium and a 2 month beardie. You can see the issue here ha! Can I house the beardie in the 120 or will the size stress him out? I am thinking as long as heating and lighting is correct and I feed him in a dish so he can find crickets then he will be fine. But I could be wrong?

You can divide the 120 into a smaller area and increase it as your BD grows.....

You could divide it or just add lots of places for it to climb and hide and it should be fine. I kept both of mine in their adult tank from day one with lots of vines and stuff for them to play on and they loved it. Just make sure your lighting and heat is correct.
