Where do baby bearded dragons live once you have bought them?

In a vivarium. A glass tank filled with the right sand, a basking post of wood, and food. Depending of what the age of the lizard depends on the size of the tank. A juvenile bearded dragon would be ok in a 20 gallon long tank. But after a year get a bigger tank. Make sure you have all the requirements for this lizard tho. Here's the basic requirements, tank, sand, basking post( wood does quiet well), crickets, fruit and veggies, and a uv heat lamp and uva fluorescent lamp. That's it!


What reptiles are cold blooded?

Reptiles like high steady body temperatures just as mammals and birds do, however, and this means they have sophisticated ways to manage flows of heat between their bodies and the environment. One common way they do this is to use blood flow within the body to facilitate heat uptake and retard heat loss. A lizard basking in the sun, for example, ramps up its cardiac output. In this way, heat is transferred rapidly from the warm skin, to the body, and the body heats rapidly. Once the lizard has stopped basking, its cardiac output declines, retaining heat within the body so that the body cools slowly. In this way, a lizard can minimize the time it spends soaking up heat, and maximizes the time it can spend doing other essential things, like looking for food and mates or defending territories.
