Bearded dragons are the friendly stars of the reptile world, calm, curious and pretty easy to handle! 🦎 To keep yours thriving, you need three essentials: a basking spot around 100–108°F (38–42°C), a UVB light so they can process calcium, and an enclosure with plenty of room and a cooler hideout.

Babies eat lots of insects like crickets and calci-worms, then shift toward leafy greens such as collards and mustard greens as they grow. Dust food with calcium on a regular schedule. If your beardie stops eating, stays still all day or has sunken eyes, double-check the temperatures and see a reptile-savvy vet.
