I have always wanted one but my nephew is deathly afraid of lizards and snakes. He barely tolerates my tortoises. He’s also afraid of my horses. He is such a wimp sometimes.

My hibiscus are so lame compared to this.
Just remember, these aren't “normal” hibiscus flowers. These are really monster “dinner plate” blooms, close to 10 inches wide or more sometimes.
They are worth a few bucks - https://www.almostedenplants.com/sh...-baltimore-perennial-hibiscus-hardy-hibiscus/

I am so tempted to get some but the heat from Phoenix will probably incinerate them. I struggle keeping hibiscus going even though it’s one of the easiest plants to grow.
Damn it I WANT a bearded dragon! What would a good set up be, look like, need? Does anybody know about a place called atomic lizard ranch in Bisbee AZ? I like this bearded...
I would try some, but keep planted in pots so you could move them about to shady/cooler areas, not in the blasting sun.
I think I’ll order them if they will ship them to me and try it. I could always pull them inside if it got too hot. It’s running in the low in the 90s in the shade at night and it’s 110 to 115 in the shade during the day right now.
Rose painted the floor of the shed medium blue color. I hope you like it.
Are the leaves ok for torts?
Hibiscus leaves? Yes.
Use a large pot, lots of good compost type material.

Minimum acceptable size for an adult bearded dragon (unless you wind up with a huge adult who actually approaches the 24-inch long species maximum) is a 40 gallon breeder tank (approx 36 x 18 x 16 inches).
Incidentally, Petco has 40 breeder tanks on sale for 50 percent off right now, so currently $50 (usually $100) and 75 gallon tanks currently $100 (usually $200). Lids are extra. Imagitarium brand, black screen lid for the 40B is hinged lengthwise (like a piano) and has proven remarkably cat resistant at my house.
You will need some combination of lighting to provide enough UVB and basking. There are different options, partially contingent on lid and feline mitigation, if that's an issue.
You will also need a CHE with thermostat if your ambient house temperatures drop below 65F.
Thanks I knew hibiscus were ok. Didn't know if that species was.

@Lokkje You're probably going to want a copy of this book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1620082535/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
It covers a good bit regarding bearded dragon behavior, which has at times been complex enough to make seasoned reptile keepers scratch their heads. They don't often have the opportunity to show it, but they're really smart.
