BeardedDragonManiac777 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hi I'm new to this forum and I was looking to delve into the world of reptiles :digH: . And I'm not looking to get a permit and of the four known exotics (Bearded Dragons, Blue Tongue Skinks, Water Dragon and Leopard Geckos) and as a first time reptile keeper I have narrowed it down to two reptiles Bearded Dragons(Inland) or a Leopard Gecko. I got the terrarium that I thought would suit both an Exo Terra 90cmx45cmx60cm. Now I've done a bit more research I'm not so sure that it would suit a Bearded Dragon so I was wondering whether you could help me along with my decision. And also if you could recommend any other brands for tanks as I am not a DIY person when it comes to would although I have made Leopard Gecko hides out of materials when I can get a hold of them. Cheers P.S. I am currently into bearded dragons; check my name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 They have different requirements and what you have in mind would be more suited to a leopard gecko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8jaggy8 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 A 90cm enclosure is still pretty small for a Bearded Dragon (I have 2 of them in a 2.2m) I would be more inclined to get the Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptilez Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I would also think that a leopard gecko would suit the tank. You don't need a UVB light so heating is a lot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardedDragonManiac777 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I was kind of thinking about selling my current tank and getting either a Reptile One Saburra 120 or finding one off trade me for a bearded dragon. And reptilez are you that shop -> www.reptilez.co.nz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reuben.a Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 90cm is fine for a juvi beardie but almost pointless in a way because you will soon be upgrading anyway. leo would probably be better unless you do end up getting a bigger enclosure for a beardie or are prepared to upgrade. leos are easy, no fuss reptiles but still a lot of fun to keep! i love mine haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
