Will a 30 gal long tank be ok for a Bd for a while? I will get a bigger one and I didn't buy him yet, im just getting everything setup.

Yes a 30L tank will be a fine setup for at least 6 months. If you want something even better, a 30 breeder would work better and last longer.

It depends on how big the dragon is.... If it is a baby, and you can get the correct temp gradient, then it should be fine for a little while. However if you get an adult, then no, it would be too small.

I agree with shell. I didn't specify. A 30 gallon would be ample space for a baby, but incredibly cramped for an adult. If you are getting an adult, the smallest size tank I would recommend would be a 50 gallon, thought bigger is always better. I house my adult Bearded Dragon in a 90 gallon (4X1.5X2) and that looked small.

Yeah I think im going to buy this 55 gal breeder off of my friend... that should do ok?

According to our Bearded Dragon care sheet, Reptile Forums - The HC Network - Bearded Dragon Caresheet (Pogona vitticeps)


While Bearded Dragons are not large lizards, the adults can still reach sizes of up to 20inches, and so they do require vivariums of a decent size, both in terms of height and width. The recommended minimum enclosure size for one adult bearded dragon is 3ft x 2ft, and you should increase the floor space by 2 square feet for every additional dragon. Height is dependant on where the heat source is allocated, but a minimum 2ft of height would allow you the inclusion of climbing branches.

I can't find anything off the web called a 55 gallon breeder, all I can find are regular 55 gallon tanks which are 48 x 12 x 21. Seems a bit narrow but it should be OK.

I've heard of 40 and 50 breeders but not 55. Usually breeder tanks are wide and somewhat low while regular sized tanks are higher but more narrow.
