Stock Tank Question

[Emma B.]

Hello!

Would a 2x4 180 gallon stock tank be a good enclosure for an adult bearded dragon? I'm looking for a cheap but large option for an enclosure, as my bearded dragon could probably use more space. I've seen it done with a Savannah monitor before.

Here's the stock tank I'm looking at: https://www.tankandbarrel.com/round...hXN0wjvt993mNWesvMk_trr9O9FlE1zhoCQ0kQAvD_BwE

Would I be able to keep a single bearded dragon in a smaller stock tank? I've been told that they need four feet of floor space

It would be huge and good I would be worried about the lighting and keeping the temps up to par--- you can take this question and ask on this forum where people on that forum have more experience w/ bigger enclosures

Thank you!

You mean those big metal tubs? I can see that for a SavMon but not for a beardie...
Unless I am missing something, the tubs are all I saw on that site.

A stock tank would not be good. You need an terrarium with glass or plastic clear sides or something similar

Thank you!

the width and length are more important then how high it is. 4x2 is great for a adult dragon!
