The tank size for
a bearded dragon should increase as they grow. Here's a
general guide based on age and size:
Hatchling (0–3 months old)
· Size: 3"–10"
· Tank Size: 20 gallons minimum (long and shallow tanks
preferred)
· Why: Easier to
find food and maintain proper temperatures in smaller enclosures.
Juvenile (3–6 months old)
· Size: 10"–16"
· Tank Size: 40 gallons minimum
· Why: They grow
rapidly and need more space to explore and thermoregulate.
Sub-Adult (6–12 months old)
· Size: 16"–20"
· Tank Size: 50–75 gallons
· Why: Increased
activity and growth; requires more vertical and horizontal room.
Adult (12+ months old)
· Size: 18"–24"
· Tank Size:
o Minimum: 75 gallons
o Ideal: 120
gallons or 4x2x2 feet (48"x24"x24")
· Why: Adults need
ample space to roam, bask, and regulate body temperature.
Tips:
· Always prioritize length over
height—beardies are ground dwellers.
· Consider upgrading early if your dragon is growing
quickly.
· A larger tank also allows for better temperature gradients
and enrichment.
