subject: Setting Up The Bearded Dragon Vivarium Habitat [print this page] For a bearded dragon, which is a type of reptile, to survive as a pet with a family of people, there will be a need to keep it in the bearded dragon vivarium. This is designed to help you work out what is needed to go in the vivarium.
A bearded dragon will grow quite large, up to sixty centimetres, so the vivarium, which is like a miniature ecological system, will need to be a good size, say almost two metres long by around half a metre high, by about half a metre wide.
It needs to be positioned in a quiet place where there is normal day and night lighting, and not an artificial light for the whole twenty four hour day. These lizards can become quite stressed by both these situations arising.
It is an Australian reptile that lives and thrives in the outback with a semi arid desert type plains country. If the habitat in the vivarium is modeled on these types of surroundings, then the chances of the bearded dragon thriving are very high.
The semi desert atmosphere of the day and night can be copied along with rock formations and the adding of some vegetation. There is no necessity to include any caves in the vivarium as these lizards do not require them. They will however need the temperature monitored and require food and water.
Wherever they may be purchased from see if the seller will allow you to contact him or her in the event a problem arises which you cannot correct yourself.
