Hypo Yellow Citrus Bearded Dragon Appearance
Hypo Yellow Citrus Bearded Dragon range from bright yellow to light tan. They have flat bodies with nodules and spikes along their sides, neck, and legs. Males have more pronounced femoral pores on their hindquarters—which is a distinct sex indicator.
Males typically grow larger than females with more pronounced heads, growing nearly 24 inches mature. Females only grow to be 16 to 19 inches once they reach adulthood.
Since bearded dragons are tropical creatures, they require specific living conditions to stay healthy. For example, beardies don’t produce calcium independently, so they derive these nutrients from UVB light and calcium supplementation.
Here’s how to set up their terrarium for the best life experience.
Habitat, Tank Conditions & Setup
Tank
Citrus bearded dragons can grow up to 24 inches total, so their enclosure has to accommodate their size. Adult bearded dragon requires at least a 40-gallon, all-glass tank.
Beardies don’t climb as much as some other reptiles, but they do love hanging on to larger branches with firm bark. But the width of the enclosure should be more than the height.
Enclosure Decor
Even though bearded dragons are curious creatures that are highly alert, they love being lazy, too. So they spend most of their day basking in their favorite spot, flatly soaking up the rays.
But when they’re not having a tanning session, you can find them hiding in a hollow log or hide. They love piling into a dark place with a snug fit for a good nap.
You can also have beardie-safe plants and other décor just to spice things up.
Lighting
Bearded dragons need UVB light to absorb calcium and vitamin D. These lights should stay on for 12 hours per day. These lizards require no lighting at night—but you should always make sure temperatures stay above 65 degrees F.
Feeding Your Citrus Bearded Dragon
Your beardie is an omnivore, meaning they eat plant and animal matter to survive. Most of their diet consists of gut-filled insects, but they love their greens, too!
During their growing months, juveniles will eat mostly insects—as many as they can handle—every day.
After they reach adulthood, you can slow feedings from every 2-3 days. This is because fully grown bearded dragons need more vegetables than anything else. As a result, they receive moisture, vitamins, and minerals in their diet.
