Terarrium
All Beardies need enough room for moving, so you will need a 4ftx2ftx2ft (120x60x60cm) in order for your reptile friend to be happy! Here are some of my recommendations!
Good size, easily cleaned!
REPTI ZOO 67Gallon Large Glass Terrarium
My bearded dragon loves this terrarium cause he loves climbing! My other one? Hates climbing.
Exo-Terra High Glass Terrarium, 36" L X 18" W X 36" H | Petco
Light
Lighting is the most important step! They need a heat lamp and an uvb lamp (t5 or t8). Without proper heat or uvb your beardie wont grow healthy!
Focuses light on a single spot, makes temperature regulation easier! Also very affordable!
Fluker's Clamp Lamp - 150W; 8.5" | Petco
Better quality heat lamp dome!
Fluker's Sun Dome Reptile Lamp, 8.5" Diameter
They need UVB to grow and not get sick! T5 is the best type, but in some cases t8 might do the trick as well.
Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 HO T5 UVB Lamp, 22" L, 24 Watts | Petco
Personally never tried this one but heard that its very good!
My favorite dome! I install one heat lamp and one day lamp for an extra pop of light!
Zoo Med Mini Combo Deep Dome Lamp Fixture, 5.5" L X 10" W X 7" H | Petco
Supplements
Calcium and vitamins! All for the growth of a healthy beardie! Calcium 3-4 times a week and multivitamins 1 time a week!
Calcium is very important! Without it their bones wont form as they should and they will get MBD! Calcium and enough uvb is the bare minimum for your beardie!
Zoo Med Repti Calcium with D3 Reptile Supplement | Petco
Calcium 3 times a week, multivitamins once!
Rep-Cal Herptivite Multivitamin with Beta Carotene, 3.3 oz. | Petco
Substrate
They love digging! Offer them a nice substrate that wont harm them but will replicate their natural habitat!
They LOVE digging, so some nice quality sand is a must! Avoid calcium sand!
Jurassic Natural Australian Desert Dragon Habitat, 20 lbs. | Petco
Mixing coco fiber and sand 50/50 is the perfect substrate for bearded dragons!
