Hello!
I've never owned a Bearded dragon but have done a but of research around them.
So here's the question.
My dad's girlfriend has a total of 3 bearded dragons and has realized that she simply doesn't have the energy or time for all of them.
So she has offered that I have a female (she has 2 females and 1 male) plus a 40 gallon tank, lights, and she would buy the food.
I'm not to concerned about cost or time since I work from home and am homeschooled as of current.
Should I adopt this bearded dragon (given more research) and what is your biggest advice for someone going into the bearded dragon ownership role?
I am going to (should I adopt) make her a new cage out of melamine for christmas. Probably 4' 2' 2' would that be appropriate? She seems big for the 40 gallon breeder.
I also will be feeding dubia's as a staple (if that's ok) since I already will have a colony for my frogs I keep. She is being fed superworms right now as a staple.
Also what would be the best kind of bedding? She's on sand right now and I've heard some big controversy on that. (She is full grown.)
How much interaction do they usually need during the day? She could hang out with me during homework or go to the park, so time isn't huge but I'd like to know.
Thanks!
Alyssa
