A well-designed enclosure is critical for a Dragon Bearded’s health and well-being. The tank should be spacious enough to allow movement, with a basking area, a cooler zone, and proper UVB lighting. Substrate choice also matters—loose substrates can pose an impaction risk, while solid substrates like tile or reptile carpet are safer options.
The BERD setup method emphasizes a structured environment that mimics their natural habitat. This includes the use of basking rocks, hiding spots, and climbing branches to encourage natural behaviors. Regular cleaning and temperature regulation help maintain a stress-free home for your reptile.
