No, bearded dragons cannot live in a 20-gallon tank. They require a much larger space to thrive and maintain their overall health. Bearded dragons are active reptiles that need ample room to explore, climb, and exercise. A 20-gallon tank would not provide enough space for them to engage in these natural behaviors. It is recommended to provide a minimum tank size of 40 gallons for a juvenile bearded dragon and at least 75 gallons for an adult. Providing a larger enclosure will not only ensure the physical well-being of the bearded dragon but also allow for the inclusion of essential heat and lighting sources, as well as enrichment items.
