Who Has Had Bearded Dragons?

[fureverywhere]

I'm thinking of Beardies. Our fish tank has killed off a bunch of fish. Thirty gallon size but how much would we need in heat lights? How big do they grow? I'm thinking two babies? Sift the tank daily, how much care???

I never owned a Bearded Dragon, but according to a few sites I've looked at, a 30 gallon tank would only be large enough for one baby, as it got older, the tank would have to be much larger. Here's some info on the size they get, their needs, lighting, etc.

[h=2]Bearded Dragon Tank Size[/h] You need to make sure you have the right size tank for your bearded dragon. A tank too small can be very stressful for your beardie and can limit their overall growth. Use the guidelines below to help determine the best tank side for your dragon:

Bearded Dragon Tank Size

• Baby Dragons - Baby dragons need a 20 gallon tank. This gives them space and makes it easier for them to catch their food.
• 10-16 Inch Dragons - Early adult dragons need at least a 40 gallon tank. However, the larger the tank the happier your dragon will be and the larger they will grow.
• 16-20 Inch Dragons - Larger dragons will need larger tanks and it's recommended to have at least a 50-75 gallon tank for dragons of this size.
• 20+ Inch Dragons - If you have a bearded dragon that is 20 inches or longer you will need a minimum of a 75 gallon tank, but a 120 gallon tank would be ideal.
