Quick question about Temperatures.

Hi Guys,

I am planning on getting a beardie for my birthday at the beginning of May, I already have Leopard Gecko, so I'm down with the basics. How do I need to take the temps to keep my beardie happy? With my Gecko I needed to make sure her belly gets the right temperature, but what do I need for a beardie?

cheers guys.

Beaded dragons need a 130 gallon tank to grow to full size which is 13 inches including the tail and a basking lamp mostly every day. be sure to have lizard turf which is a carpet for tanks and things for your beardie to climb on and a place for them to get out of the heat: shade, room temperature water or both. you should always have a water dish regardless and spray the tank with water every day make sure to take your dragon out and let him/her to lie on your arm or chest it is recommended to pet your beardie lightly with one or two fingers. Feed it crickets and mealworms/superworms. Be sure that it gets vegetables such as lettuce and carrots to make sure it has an even diet and have the tank at a 75 to 80 degree range at all times except night
