Ideal tank for juveniles bearded dragons
PetSmart on I-10 east freeway 5941 east Sam Houston parkway N Houston Tx 7749 Placed an order for a 10 gallon tank because my husband wanted a juvenile bearded dragon get to the store the manager that was in duty was Lucy so we get to talking we tell her that we want the tank for a juvenile bearded dragon so she tells us that you can not adopt a juvenile bearded dragon unless you get a 20 to 40 gallon tanks and you can not put a bearded dragon in a glass tank so where am I suppose to put the dragon in because all pet smart has is glass tanks she said that she started with a 40 and her bearded dragon is 7 years old okay but in pet smart pamphlet it says the ideal tank for a juvenile bearded dragon is a 10 gallon so this means that PetSmart is either misinforming customers on tanks for bearded dragons or for any reptiles and if you can’t put a a bearded dragon in a glass tank then why does pet smart sells glass tanks also why does pet smart sells 10 gallon starter tanks for juveniles bearded dragons make it make sense PetSmart or PetSmart needs to retrain thier employees so they can be on the page because prior to this two other employees told us the ideal tank for juvenile bearded dragon was a 10 gallon and we have done so much research the one that really knows her stuff is Felicia that girl knows her stuff the and on top of that the manager was upset because she didn’t want to get proven wrong so also this means the pamphlet that PetSmart has in thier store is not correct according to the manager Lucy A 10-gallon tank is considered the ideal size for a juvenile bearded dragon, as it provides enough space for them to move around comfortably while they are still growing. Key points about a 10-gallon tank for a juvenile bearded dragon: Suitable for young dragons: This size is appropriate for a young bearded dragon until it reaches about 4-5 inches in length, at which point it will need to be moved to a larger tank. Important to upgrade: As the dragon grows, you should plan to move it to a larger tank, with adult bearded dragons typically requiring a minimum of 40 gallons. Proper setup is key: Even in a 10-gallon tank, ensure you provide essential elements like a basking spot, hiding area, climbing branches, and a shallow water dish. Get it together PetSmart and retain your managers and employees so they all can be on the same page
