How to make a total implementation cost for a bearded dragon? Hello, I just wanted a rough estimate of the quantity of a bearded dragon set up initially would cost so I can save my money and also how much does it cost to care for them each month in the United Kingdom and is it easy to breed crickets?
The setup will take place a few hundred dollars (U.S.). More or less depending on where you shop, if you buy used stuff (like the tank).
The crickets are not difficult to reproduce, but dubia are easier! They are very clean, do not make noise, can not jump, fly or climb, easy maintenance and race without any intervention if they are in optimal conditions.
The monthly cost after the installation are not so bad. A baby is more expensive because they eat Crix 50 one day, but adults eat only 50 per week while the reduced cost, as it grows, esp if you play your own bugs. You need to buy vegetables every week, but they are not so expensive then $ 5 (U.S.) worth of greens and vegetables should feed a dragon all week. You must replace your UVB rays every 6 months, so keep that in mind. And your electricity bill will increase a little light that you will use, and it is another cost to consider.

Good luck!
Okay I will give you close in U.S. dollars, then you can convert it into a different currency. Depending on how many you want, that will determine the size of the tank. For a bearded dragon, you'll probably do something in the range of 40-50 per gallon, while prices range from about $ 50 tank - $ 150, depending on the brand and if it comes with all accessories. A heat lamp and bulb heat will cost about $ 35 - $ 50, and a bowl of water at low prices (wholesale) will be approximately $ 12 - $ 20. Rocks, logs and other accessories usually go wrong for $ 5 - $ 25 depending on size and brand. The dragon itself depends on what size. The young are usually in the $ 30 - $ 40 range and adults range from $ 70 - $ 90. Breeding crickets is neither easy nor difficult. You must have all the power stuff that people use cricket to gutload their feeders. The temperature must be perfect and you have plenty of space to do so. Also, you should take precautions to avoid a parasite into your groups and contaminate all. This is usually the problem faced by professional breeders, if only one of cricket outside into the tank.
