Bearded dragons can be housed in a variety of enclosures as long as their basic requirements are met. All glass aquaria with wire tops are commonly used and are inexpensive to obtain. Custom built enclosures are also very popular and can be sized appropriately. The enclosure should have a basking spot with temperatures ranging from 90 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, which can be provided by an overhead light in a reflective hood. Under tank heating can be used for night time use, supplied by a heating pad or tape. The enclosure should be large enough to allow the lizard to retreat to a cooler area (known as thermoregulation) as needed. A tree branch or log should be supplied for climbing and basking. Good substrates are newspaper, sand, pea rock or aquarium gravel. Substrates such as mulch, shredded tree bark, or corn cob should not be used as they can hold moisture and promote bacterial growth.

No. It is not recommended for a bearded dragon. Bearded dragons are desert dwelling creatures and recommended humidity levels are between 30 and 60%. Obtaining a humidity gauge is important. If you are spraying to get moisture to your dragon this can be done a few ways. Baby dragons need to have moisture as they quickly dehydrate. You can drop a bit of water right on their mouth (avoiding their nostrils) and he/she may lap it up. This you will have to do while the dragon is young to avoid dehydration. You wouldn't deprive a baby human of a bottle, or find a mechanized bottle feeder this is really no different. Most beardies get their fluid intake in with their greens and insects. You can increase their water consumption by putting bottled water in a spray bottle and misting their greens lightly. If you need to increase humidity in the tank, add a shallow water dish. Rarely beardies will drink water from a dish. More often than not they will lay in the water dish and often defecate in it. If they do so, it needs to be changed immediately.
