There should also be a basking area between 90 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature should not fall below the mid 70s F at night. Bearded Dragons should be exposed to UVB light daily, by either direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting. Bearded Dragons should always be provided with fresh water and light misting occasionally. Baby Bearded Dragons, between the ages of zero and four months should only be fed very small food.
Larger food can cause serious problems including paralysis, seizures, gut impaction or death.
They can be fed pinhead crickets and tiny worms, gradually moving to larger animals. They should be fed three to five times per week, although babies and pregnant females should be fed more. Uncertain Bearded Dragons are sexually mature around two years of age. Mature males darken to black during breeding season. At other times, the males can be distinguished from the females by their preanal and femoral pores.
