Could this be used under a 60 gallon tank for two bearded dragons? Thanks.

Well first, you should not house bearded dragons in the same enclosure, any web forum will tell you the same. Not trying to be rude, just saying. Bearded dragons do better with overhead heat, a basking light or ceramic heat bulbhooked to a thermostat. It is a little small for a 60 gallon tank. Also if for some reason you get this or a bigger size under tank heater, make sure you cover that area with some reptile carpet or else the glass will get too hot and possibly burn the lizards.

I would also like to point out not using an under tank heater for bearded dragons. They do not have any heat indicators underneath of them so they frequently end up at the vet office being treated for burns because of irresponsible owners who don't know what they are doing. Overhead heat lamps only - no under tank heaters or heat rocks!

For Master Chef Daryl, I am wanting to do the same thing that you did, put a heating mat under a bathing pool but for a golden greek tortoise. they like to bath as well. Exactly how did you do it? And is your bathing pool rock, ceramic or plastic material? Did you put the heat mat directly under the bathing pool or under any fiber mat, bedding. I put in a coconut fiber carpet mat that fit perfectly in the entire 50 gal terrarium. Loose coconut fibers are in his log for him to burrow when he goes to sleep. A 100 watt heat lamp is situated over his basking rocks.

Most owners of bearded dragons agree that 1/2 to 3/4 of the tank should be under UV, so it depends on your length of viv, not gallons.

it will work fine in a 8 gallon tank..The D-732 is bigger..May be too big for your tank.

You could place one in there, again I would remove the Styrofoam backing and use some sort of under the tank heating device. Anoles do best in small groups with plenty of room, I agree with Jordan awesome guy and suggest a 10 gallon tank for your lizard.

I think that you can, but I don't know that I would. I have a 3 gallon tank and it barely keeps the water in the 70s F. I worry that burying it under the gravel would inhibit the heat from spreading throughout the tank. But I think you can try it without any dire consequences. Just keep an eye on the water temperature, and if it is too low for your fish, dig it up and stick it to a tank wall.

I wouldn't recommend it. They need a wider enclosure instead of tall one. Plus you need more security on the openings of the cage. Pythons can squeeze through small areas of enclosures that are not secured properly. I would recommend a 50 gallon tank or larger with a snap tight screen top.

I think it would be fine. We have a bigger tank for our ball python and this works fine

No not at all. Bearded dragons need a glass tank enclosure that will hold in heat. This is made for chameleons. I know this question is old but thought I'd still answer it for people reading it.

I can't answer that for certain because I only set reptile cages without water on it. What I can say is that there is only about 19 inches available from side to side between the uprights (and 22" up and down), and so a 20" tank wouldn't fit on the bottom (just the top). The stand is reasonably sturdy so I wouldn't be afraid to put a fish tank or two on it, but it wouldn't fit two standard 10's.

Yes, a 40 breeder is recommended for one bearded dragon and this has the same floor space as one of those, just not as tall. With that in mind you'll need to adjust the heat bulb that you use on these because the distance from the screen to the ground is less. It took me a few tries to make sure mine was right and not overheating the cage.

I've been a reptile hobbyist for years now and have owned chameleons and bearded dragons. Stay with glass tanks for the bearded dragons that aren't too tall or less than the size of the 40g tank. Bearded dragons are not big climbers (they only climb to bask under the heat lights) and they actually like to burrow into the substrate at times so stay with a tank that can hold sand or ground walnut shells. If you want a larger tank for your bearded dragon try to get one that's the same height as a 40gallon breeder but has a larger base size.

I have mine in a 77 gallon tank and it works fine but, I would guess for a tank that size that you may require something bigger or maybe 2 of them. Also depends on type of fish of course.

You could probably get up to like a 29 gallon sump under it. The top platform is like 18x48. Minus a couple inches you could say the inside of the bottom wood panel has about 15x44 inches of space conservatively. I haven't measured but this is an educated guess. The thing is you will have to assemble the unit by sitting the tank on the bottom platform after putting together the bottom and the sides of the unit, and then assembling the top. A 20 gal long tank would fit under it comfortably. The 29 would leave like a foot of space between the top panels and the top of the tank. I think the stand is about 30 to 33 inches high.

I believe it would be fine. We turned it on it's side and our bearded dragon is very happy

Hi Dino - My bearded dragon didn't use this rock very often at all. I like the thermostat feature, as you can keep the temperature at a reasonable low heat. The rock itself is dense and heavy and therefore it takes a while to heat up to temperature. My friend has 2 bearded dragons and he uses the under tank heaters.

Most likely not. This only works efficiently at depths no greater than 18 inches. A standard 55 gallon tank is about 21 inches deep, not that much of a difference, yet enough to restrict the amount of bubbles that are produced by one of these. It also depends on the animals involved with the tank. As some animals need more oxygen then others to survive.
