What Sized Tank??? 
Either today or sometime this week, I’m getting things ready for my new baby beardie. He is about 5 or 6 inches long. For now what sized tank would be good????

personally, after seeing how fast my hatchlings are growing, i would still get a 40 gallon breeder, until you can build something, and that will give him or her plenty of room. they really like to run around and are pretty fast. make sure you get the uvb, and heat set up. 110-115 degrees for the basking side. there are several links on here, about feeding and care. if you haven’t already, make sure that you check them out, there is some great info on them. i started mine out on paper towels, plain white, no dyes and fragrance free..

I would agree with fire4life and say yes because they grow extreamly fast! good luck with the new baby.

Here is some pics of my dragon he is around 9"-10" and this is the tank I have had her in since she was 2"-3" and its been 3-4 months and she has had 0 problems,and that is a towel on the bottom with temps from hot side at 110-115 and cool side is 80-85.So I hope this helps.

You could get a 20 gallon for now but, if your husbandry’s right, he’ll outgrow it in a few months.

my babies were born at the end of march, and have at least trippled in size. my 6 month old, is a very picky eater, so we have been changing up her food trying to get her to eat, but my babies are bigger than she is. yes, we did have her checked by the vet, and he gave us an appetite stimulant for her, but my point is that they grow very fast. even if you get the bigger tank soon, you may decide to build one yourself later, and upgrade, so it may not be a "lifetime" habitat. they like to run around, and need room to do so, and if you have a log, a basking spot, food and water dishes, that doesn’t leave much room for them to run around.
