I think I am ready..

[Horse Lover]

I know I post too much about bearded dragons or reptiles so far :p
Ok But I wanted some people opinion on the things I am getting for my future bearded dragon:
-55 gallon aqaurium from http://www.jurassicages.com/home.html
-1 MVB bulb and the thing that holds the bulb
-temperature thermometre thing
-carpet for substate for adult and newspaper for baby
- cricket keeper
- gutloading food/water in jelly form
-drift wood
- and maybe a few fake plants for when the little guy is an adult
-dish for ''salads''
-maybe a criket termite hill feed thing
I know theres more I am missing, :confused: I can just feel it! Anyhow can anyone maybe post pics of their Beardie Enclosures If possible?

You seem very ready for a Beardie :D I have two, and they're the best.

You may already know this, but it wasn't specified, so I figured I would post it. Digital thermometers are best, and, you should have one on the cool and warm sides of the enclosure. You also need a UVB light.

The fake plants didn't go well with my male :p He tried to eat them, and almost shred a few, so I removed them. However, the fake plants in my females enclosure are still in one piece.

Sounds like you know of everything you need, and hopefully of all the basic care. I could go on & on, but I'm sure you would already know about it!

Have you decided on a gender, if it's know at the purchase?

Here's pictures of one of my enclosures, I took them specifically for this thread. It's huge, as it was made for two. I bought them as two girls and later found that one was not ;) So, that is only the males enclosure, now. It could use some better decoration, LOL. The UVB light is inside, and there are two bulbs on the top, which is screen mesh-ish stuff.

thanks for taking the pictures :D , you know I was thinking of getting a hammock too It slipped my mind I guess does your beardie use it often? And In the MVB(mecury Vapour Bulb) its a bit more expensive but it lasts longer and offers heat for basking and the UVBlight so its pretty good :D And what a pretty Beardie you have there! :D

He sleeps on his hammock everynight! As soon as I turn off his lights, he gets into his position on it. When his old one broke, and he went a night without one, it took him atleast 15 minutes to find a new place.

Also, I've heard of the MVBs. They sound great.

He's a very lovable guy, atleast to me but not strangers. When I first got them, I was amazed with their temperment and calmness.

My cousin actually built my tank for me, and I love it. I'm in the process of looking for a bigger one for Pecan(my girl), right now. I may check out that site you posted.
