Meet Spunky
He is my normal beardy, my only beardy and he rocks. Got him at the expo yesterday, i dont no his hatch date but hes already been eating, drinking, survived the night without the lamp on and is basking again.
To me, all good signs.
Got him from iculizard, think highly of them, nice caresheet and other info, good website and overall good feeling.

Sounds like they're great! I had a beardy before and i bet he'd last in a 10 gallon for a month tops..the 20 gallon, for about 3 months...you'll be very surprised how quickly these guys grow!

Some people say no because they get scared when theirs to much open space...they'd rather feel secure. I could be wrong...

A big enclosure should be OK. Just be sure to give them a basking spot around 110-120 F...and places to hide if they want.
The big tank may be a problem for feeding so you might want to feed him in a smaller enclosure to make sure that he is eating all of his food.

Mike, 120 is a bit hot dont you think? my adults have around 100-105. A baby would likely roast under 120, dont you think? Ive never really measured my hatchlings basking spots, but I assume theyre about 90-105 range.

Ya, that may be on the hot end of the scale but babies need higher temps than adults because they don't absorb and keep heat as efficiently as adults.
I've heard that a 105 basking spot is the very minimum you would want for hatchings.
I'm no expert on the subject but I 'm sure I've read that they are quite fine at 120. Of course, as with all reptiles, it's important to give them a gradient.
