Bearded Dragon Must Haves

items Unfortunately a lot of pet stores and even lizard breeders send these animals off with owners who have no idea what they’re doing or don’t have the correct information. Most of these products are a must have to keep your new baby alive.
*I AM AN AMA...
I’ve used multiple bulb brands and this is the one you need. Highly recommend a 4 pack for when it eventually goes out.
Zoo Med Reptile Basking Spot Lamps
The ceramic top helps weigh the lamp down and keeps the heat off the cord. I set this lamp directly on top of my metal screen and it’s worked for 4 years after two zoo med lamp blow outs.
Sun Dome Light Fixture
If you have a bearded dragon, 4x2x2 is an absolute MUST. This enclosure is great for your money. Front opening (again, a must) metal screen top for lamps, and plug holes on the side for anything you set inside. Plus the glass is raised for any substr...

I use this for my beardy and he loves it. Falls right asleep, drinks his water and it comes with a clip for his leash. Also easy to machine wash!
CUBY Dog Cat Sling Carrier - Hands Free
Captive beardies don’t always know how to drink water!!! Unless you SEE them drink it (not water being gone bc the heat will make it evaporate) you need to feed them water by hand until you can teach them to drink from still water or running water.
Syringes Without Needle,Syringe for Liquid
In my experience, making a simple yarn leash is the best, just add a few beads to make the loops. I highly recommend this soft yarn for your sake and your scaly baby so it’s easy and less snags.
My leash is in the photo!

You need to make sure you have a hot and cold spot in their enclosure so they can cool off and heat up as needed! The thermometers that hang inside the enclosure is not good enough!
Sanliang Infrared Thermometer Laser Temp Gun
My favorite spray bottle for helping shed skin. It’s also a nice tool when teaching them how to drink!

Furatune 2Pcs 6 Inch Reptile Feeding Tongs Soft Tips
If you’re keeping crickets or anything that isn’t a fridge sleeper, you’re going to want this. Especially because of the dusting attachment (this is where you add crickets/roaches into the cylinder container and add calcium powder to the container an...
REPTI ZOO Cricket Keeper & Calcium Feeder Kit
This is a more natural option for getting your beardie to drink on their own. The sound of the water trickling down is what they would listen for in the wild.
