Hey all! ‼️🦎🚨
Bearded Dragon just surrendered! He will be available for adoption officially on 11/23

Bearded dragons make wonderful pets because they’re easy to care for and they are sociable creatures! Taking care of a pet bearded dragon involves several key steps:

1. Habitat Setup: Provide a spacious terrarium (at least 40 gallons) with a secure lid. Use a substrate like reptile carpet or paper towels. Include hiding spots, climbing branches, and a basking area with a heat lamp to create a temperature gradient (basking area around 95-110°F and cooler area around 75-85°F).

2. Lighting: Use UVB lighting to help your bearded dragon synthesize vitamin D3, which is essential for calcium absorption. Replace the bulb every 6-12 months.

3. Diet: Offer a balanced diet of live insects (crickets, mealworms) and fresh vegetables (collard greens, bell peppers). Avoid feeding too many high-fat insects and ensure any live food is appropriately sized.

4. Hydration: Provide fresh water daily in a shallow dish. Occasionally mist the enclosure to maintain humidity, but avoid over-saturation.

5. Handling: Be gentle and patient when handling your bearded dragon. Allow it to acclimate to your presence and handle it regularly to build trust.

6. Health Monitoring: Watch for signs of illness, such as changes in appetite, lethargy, or abnormal behaviors. Consult a veterinarian experienced with reptiles if you notice any health issues.

7. Clean Environment: Regularly clean the habitat by removing waste and uneaten food, and perform a deeper clean with appropriate disinfectants as needed.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure your bearded dragon stays healthy and happy.

As always, more information and adoption applications can be found on our website www.reptilerescueofwisconsin.com
