Repti bark is a natural substrate that can help maintain humidity levels and provide a comfortable surface for bearded dragons to walk on. It also helps with maintaining proper hygiene by absorbing waste and reducing odors in the enclosure. Additionally, it can aid in the natural behaviors of digging and burrowing for bearded dragons.

Yes, bearded dragons can absolutely take baths. In fact, a bath every week can aid in the lizard's shedding, hydration, and can be fun for both you and your pet.

Bearded Dragons are a DESERT species ! they rarely - if ever come across enough water to bathe in ! Almost all the moisture a Beardie needs is obtained from its food ! (Snakester1962)

Feeding: You should feed them crickets and mealworms no wider than the space between their eyes. Also, put a dish of calcium-mineral dust in their enclosure for them to lick. Heating and Humidity: The temperature at night should be 68-75 degrees Fahrenheitand in the day should be 78-92 fahrenheit. The humidity should hover between 35 and 60%. Water: Geckos cannot drink from a water bottle, so a ceramic dish full of water should be provided and changed every night. Enclosure: A tank of 20 gallons or more should be your gecko's home. There must be inside the tank water, calcium, a cavewhere they can sleep, a substrate (Repti-carpet works the best.). Your gecko is NOCTURNAL. (That's important.)
