On the outside of your Bearded Dragon enclosure, you’ll want to put up a background. This will give your Beardie a sense of privacy. You can find pictures specifically geared toward reptile terrarium and vivariums that will work or you can use a light colored cardstock. Since Beardies don’t have the greatest depth perception, don’t choose a background paper with images on it that he can’t grasp.

Using a solid cover is a beginner mistake than kill your Beardie because it can get too hot inside. So when you place a top on your Bearded Dragon enclosure, make sure it’s one that can provide plenty of ventilation. A terrarium or a vivarium doesn’t have to be an elaborate set up although you can find some that look like pieces of furniture. The main purpose of the enclosure is for it to meet the needs of your Beardie.
