Hello TFO friends. I’ve thought about getting a bearded dragon off and on for years. Over the last couple of weeks I‘ve started to re-educate myself as much as possible so I can figure out if this would be a good fit. There seems to be as much conflicting information on bearded dragons as there is with tortoises. From my research on a variety of websites and YouTube, I noticed a common problem with people having issues maintaining temps and ending up having multiple heat sources, yet 99% of the time I’m seeing enclosures with screen tops. Is there a reason you wouldn’t want a closed chamber with a bearded dragon? Is there a benefit to having a screened lid on the enclosure?
If any of you have bearded dragons, I'd love to hear your opinions on the pros and cons of getting a male vs a female. Anything you’re willing to share, I’ll be grateful for. I did go to the bearded dragon forum, but my account hasn’t been approved for me to join. I’ve checked out other places too, but because I am familiar with the tortoise forum and so many of you, I feel more comfortable asking here.
