You're going to need a Bearded Dragon cage for your new pet and you'll need to have it all set up before you bring him home with you. The size and type of enclosure you'll need to buy or make depends on how many dragons you plan to get.
A good rule of thumb is to have an enclosure that's two to three times the size your dragon will be when fully grown. That tiny little juvenile is going to grow up and when it does, he doesn't want cramped quarters.
Inside that Bearded Dragon cage, you'll need to have substrate. The type of substrate you get can vary but make sure it's not harmful to your new pet. Just like a small toddler learning to explore his surroundings, your Beardie might want at little taste of the substrate.
Inexperienced owners can make a costly mistake by getting the wrong type. Since Beardies enjoy relaxing in the warmth of the sun in the wild, you'll need to imitate that inside the enclosure. You can do that with a basking perch and a specific type of light suitable for lizards.
One of the most important items inside the Bearded Dragon cage must be a thermometer. Since the Beardie is not warm blooded, he cannot adjust his body temperature when his cage gets too hot or too cold.
He relies on you to do that for him. No matter how fascinating he finds his new home, he'll get tired of being watched so provide him with a shelter inside his cage so he can run inside it for some peace and quiet.
