Bearded Dragons are very docile and make great pets. There are few
Bearded Dragon species in the world, the main species that
domesticated around is Pogona vitticeps, known as Central Bearded
Dragon. Their name comes from the spiny scaled area that covers their
throat. The male will “puff” up this “beard” as a sign of dominance and
defense. They are impressively able to spend whole part of the day
basking and relaxing on the basking spots, which is very worthy to keep
as a pet. And of course, they love to be handled too!!

 Enclosure
Size
It is suggested to Use at least 20 gallon long
terrarium (30inchesx12inches) for juvenile
Bearded Dragons as starter. As the dragons
grow, you can increase the size of the
enclosure. Adults need plenty of room to be
active. It is recommended that each adult
has an area of at least 1.5-2 feet for
moving around.

Keeping together
Males should never be housed together
unless they are in a large enclosure. Males
tend to fight, especially in confined spaces.
In some situation, it is okay to keep more
than one female with one male in one big
enough enclosure but we still recommend
to keep bearded dragons separately.
 Substrate
Keep it tidy
Some may suggest to use sand
substrate and some may suggest
to use towel or newspaper as
floor lines. Basically we can use
anything as long as its meet the
research, and use it only when you
criteria in the next box.
Prettier or Safer?
Non-toxic
Digestable or 'poopable'
Easy to clean
Odourless
These are only guidelines, some
good substrate may not posses
some of it. Just do your own
are confident enough.

 Habitat
It is a must to have two different area with
high amd low temperature in an enclosure. You
can use a basking light at one side of the
enclosure to develop a hot area for Bearded
Dragon to bask while other side should be kept
as a cooler area. You can Use branches to
decorate the enclosure for your dragon to
climb. A rock or log also ideal
for the basking area, just need to make sure it
can't moved easily so your dragon would not
get crushed under it.

 Temperature
and lighting
Temperature
Bearded Dragons are native to Australia,
where it is hot and dry. During the day,
the temperature in their enclosure
should be kept around 30° C, with a
basking area of 37-40° C. The
temperature at night can drop to 24° C.

Lighting
Bearded Dragons require 10 to 12
hours of sunlight per day. During the
day, use a heat lamp and UVB-emitting
bulbs, and at night, its not necessary
to have a heat source since most of
Malaysia's are not too cold for
Bearded Dragon.
 Diets
Live Foods
As omnivores, Bearded Dragons consume both live food and finely chopped
fruits and vegetables. Bearded Dragons consume superworms, mealworms,
crickets, and small roaches. Some tip from 'otai' is never give your dragons
any insect bigger than their heads. A vitamin and calcium supplement should
be applied to the insects few times a week. You can give your Bearded
Dragon an occasional pink mouse as a treat. It may a good way to introduce
vegetables to your Bearded Dragons by feed them a mixture of shredded
fruits and vegetables with the insects.

 Diets
Vegetables and Watering
Kale, mustard and collard greens, green beans, squash, carrots, bananas, apples,
grapes, and melons should all be included in this list of bite-sized vegetables. You
can give a bowl of clean, spring or unchlorinated water to drink but we usually do
not suggest to leave it in the enclosure since the water may vaporize and increase
the humidity which may bring respiratory infections to the Bearded Dragon. The
best way to ensure that Bearded Dragons get enough water is to mist their fruits
and vegetables with fresh, non-chlorinated water. Because Bearded Dragons are
desert animals, they won't always drink from a water bowl.
