a vivarium might be a good start.
Feeding bowls, water bowl, substrate, rocks and foliage for decoration.
Theres alot you need.
Dusting supplements. etc

oops i guess i should say that i have a 20 gallon
(getting a 120 gallon soon), i have a feeding bowl, etcwhat do i want to use for a substrate (she is a baby)
Natural sand,
put a couple of inches of sand in the tank, add water and give the sand a good mix.
Compact it down and apply heat, UTH, heat lamp or both until the sand dries hard then sprinkle dry sand liberally over the hard sand, add rocks, bits of dry old branches and logs and its good to go.
Obviously you need a water dish, supplements for health, feeders and a fairly hot basking spot, you can also use a UTH for night time heat but what i have suggested for substrate is what i would do and replicates the ground that wild beardies live on over here in Aus. Their habitats range from arid open woodlands ( Bush or Outback as we call it) and arid rocky semi-deserts. They do like to climb and bask on wooden posts, dry old branches etc but if you think the branch or whatever pieces of wood you use will burn then use a decent sized rock for a basking spot. The plus size to rocks is that they hold heat for quite some time even when the lamp is turned off.
