Caring for a bearded dragon involves creating a suitable habitat, maintaining proper diet, and ensuring regular handling. Set up a 40-gallon tank with a basking spot at 95-110°F and a cooler area around 80°F. Use UVB lighting for 10-12 hours daily. Feed a varied diet of insects (crickets, mealworms) and vegetables (collard greens, carrots). Dust food with calcium and vitamin supplements. Handle gently and regularly to maintain tameness. Clean the habitat weekly and provide fresh water daily. Regular vet check-ups ensure your dragon stays healthy. With proper care, bearded dragons can live 10-15 years
