How much does it cost for a bearded dragon's cage?

Answer 1

it all depends on the size of the vivarium

2ft long vivs are usually priced around the £50-£70 mark

3ft long vivs are usually priced around the £80-120 mark

4ft long vivs are usually priced around the £130-£170 mark

but this depends on the condition, and what the vivs come with because most vivs come with equipment, and this can be just as expensive as the vivs as u would need to buy uv heat lamps, temperature gauges, logs ( but only buy these from reptile shops as they have been properly cleaned and decinfected), water & food dishes, reptile sand or beached wood chips( as these are the only 2 substances that should be used for beardies in captivity as the meal worms can get mixed in with the substances, and these 2 substances can easily be digested by your beardy.

so the prices above for just the vivs

but these are the prices for the equipment

uv heat lamps range from £30- £70

temperature gauges range from £5-£20

logs are more expensive than u think and can be as much as £50, but u can get some for around £10-£20 which are fine

reptile sand, is more expensive than beached wood chips, but obviosuly more natural for your beardy, and the price would vary for the different size of viv that u have and would have to ask in a reptile shop, because every reptile shop have different size bags of the substances, so i would suggest asking your local reptile shop

so if add up all these costs you are probably looking at around

£100 for a 2ft viv including all equipment

£150 for a 3ft viv including all equipment

£200 for a 4ft viv including all equipment

£250 for a 5ft viv including all equipment

so if u use these as guides u should b alright

and obviosuly including the price of your beardies as well, so it is not a cheap pet to look after but they are definaltely well worth it, as they can become part of the family, as they are so lovable, especially when they cuddle up next to your neck to go to sleep :)

Answer 2

It depends on the size of the lizard. An adult beardie can be as long as 24 inches, so they need a vivarium at leas twice that length. My own beardies as youngsters, live in 24 x 12 x 18 inch vivs individually, graduating to a 48 x 24 x 36 inch vivarium at their adult size (about three years old).

Ready-made wood vivariums can be up to £200 - BUT - building your own would be cheaper. I stopped buying ready-made vivs when I realised how much it was going to cost me ! To make a 48 x 24 x 24 vivarium from start to finish - costs me about £90 including glass, heat sources and thermostats.

Answer 3

A standard new 40 breeder, which is longer than it is tall, is approximately 85.00. A MVB, or a florescent UVB and fixture is also needed as well as a heat fixture.

Answer 4

it all depends on the beardie. 10 gallon is like from$10-$20 a 20 gallon is from $30-$45 any bigger is more than $50.
