'Gold' Bearded Dragon Setup

The Essentials for Your Bearded Dragon

This “gold” bearded dragon setup includes an enclosure with a removable divider suitable for all life stages as well as some of the best heating and lighting equipment available on the market. Unlike other brands of UVB bulb, Arcadia UVB bulbs only need to be changed every 12 months instead of every 6 months. It also comes with a good-sized water bowl, food bowl, substrate and climbing branch.

 

A Terrarium for All Life-Stages

This enclosure measures 120x60x60cm which is the recommended size for a central bearded dragon. Some hatchling dragons may stress in an enclosure this size even if plenty of additional cover is provided and an appropriate heat gradient is maintained. This enclosure caters for these nervous individuals as it comes with a removable divider, giving you the option to effectively halve the size of the enclosure until your dragon is ready to use the full length. This saves you from having to purchase two separate enclosures!

 

Substrate

This kit comes with sand to facilitate burrowing and digging behaviour. Pet City recommends a vet check and husbandry assessment for the dragon before using loose substrate as underlying health conditions and incorrect husbandry can negatively affect the dragon’s ability to digest sand if it is consumed. Restricting the sand to a dig box (e.g. kitty litter tray) may be more appropriate for hatchling bearded dragons. For more information on substrates, please call the store to discuss the different options available.

 

Heating & Lighting

Dragons are desert-dwelling creatures and require a high UV output and warmer temperatures. This kit includes a white basking bulb for daytime heating & light, as well as a species appropriate T5 UVB tube and fitting which can be easily mounted in the warm end of the enclosure. The length of the UVB tube and fitting ensures that when appropriately mounted, the dragon can move away from the UVB lamp as needed. This premium quality UVB tube won't need to be replaced for 12 months (normally 6 months for lower quality bulbs).

 

Don't Forget Hides & Decor!

We know you'll probably want to choose furnishings and decorations for your enclosure. Don't forget that your setup needs two hides, one at each end of the enclosure to compliment the heat gradient. Plants and other decorations is mostly for your viewing pleasure, so we recommend choosing the ones that you like.
