In captivity, bearded dragons typically live 8-15 years with proper care. Some individuals have reached 18-20 years. Wild bearded dragons usually live 5-8 years due to predation and environmental challenges.

Hatchling (0-3 months), Juvenile (3-6 months), Subadult (6-12 months), Adult (1-4 years), Mature Adult (4-8 years), and Geriatric (8+ years). Growth is most rapid in the first year.

Question 4

How can I help my bearded dragon live longer?

Accepted Answer

Provide proper UVB lighting (10-12 hours daily), a basking spot at 95-105°F, a varied diet of insects and leafy greens, a spacious enclosure (minimum 40 gallons for adults), regular vet checkups with an exotic vet, and maintain proper humidity levels.

Question 5

Senior bearded dragons naturally become less active, eat less frequently, and may brumate (reptile hibernation) more often. Ensure they still receive adequate heat and UVB, and monitor for signs of illness or impaction.
