Zoo Med Reptihabitat Juvenile Bearded Dragon Kit – 20 Gallon

The Zoo Med Reptihabitat Juvenile Bearded Dragon Kit is a comprehensive package that provides everything you need to set up a suitable habitat for a juvenile bearded dragon. Here are the key components included in the kit:

Terrarium: The kit includes a 20-gallon terrarium, which serves as the enclosure for your bearded dragon. This size is suitable for a juvenile, but as your dragon grows, you may eventually need to upgrade to a larger enclosure.

Light Fixture: Proper lighting is crucial for the health and well-being of your bearded dragon. The kit includes a light fixture that typically accommodates a UVB bulb for providing the necessary ultraviolet light. UVB light is essential for the synthesis of vitamin D3, which enables the absorption of calcium.

Heater: Bearded dragons require a basking spot with a specific temperature range to thermoregulate their body temperature. The kit includes a heater or heat source to maintain the appropriate basking temperature in the enclosure.

Food Samples: The kit typically includes food samples to get you started. Juvenile bearded dragons have specific dietary requirements, including a combination of live insects (such as crickets, dubia roaches, or mealworms) and leafy greens. The food samples can help you introduce your dragon to suitable food options.

Bearded Dragon Care Book: A care book is often included to provide you with essential information on how to care for your bearded dragon. It may cover topics like habitat setup, feeding guidelines, temperature and humidity requirements, health concerns, and general care tips.

It’s important to note that while this kit provides a convenient starting point, you should also conduct additional research to ensure you are meeting all the specific needs of your bearded dragon. Regular maintenance, proper feeding, and monitoring of temperature and humidity are crucial for the long-term health of your pet.
