No, it is not big enough.
Bearded dragons can get 18 inches long, sometimes a little more. A two foot tank would give him only an extra 6 inches of space to move.
A three foot long tank would be better. Something like a 40 gallon breeder tank would be a great smaller size tank.

no it isnt big enough a bearded dragon can get up to 1 1/2 to 2 ft long. i would recomend going to a pet store and getting a 30 gallon tank wich is about 2ft by 3ft and that is a bare minimum. just please make sure you read about animals before you get them otherwise you may not no what vitamins and foods it needs and it may become unhealthy

oh sure that's suitable! I surely have a seventy 5 gallon tank for my bearded dragon (oscar) and that is in easy terms suitable for him! in spite of if evidently somewhat huge on your dragon it somewhat is going to be suitable, it somewhat is extra useful to get an even bigger enclosure than one that is purely too small and you may desire to bypass purchase a sparkling one. purely determine you utilize sand interior the backside, and via how u dont might desire to bypass to a puppy keep and purchase the expencive "mineral sand" they gget all they desire from the crickets and food that they consume. you may bypass to the domicile depot and purchase a 60 pound bag of sand for 4 funds! purely verify that that's the sterral play sand. not the sand from the backyard section. you do not might desire to purchase a 3pound bag of "mineral sand" for 14 funds. and additionally determine you supply them adequate gentle and warmpth and a few products of timber that your dragon can stand directly to get to the warmth. they might desire to be extreamly happy with the huge cage!

Sorry but a 2 foot tank equals out to about 10 gallons a 10 long is 24 1/4 x 8 1/2 x12 5/8 an a 10 gallon standard is 24 1/4 x12 1/2 x12 3/4 The reccommended for a bearded dragon is 55 gallon which is 48 1/4 x12 3/4 x 21 which is double the size. Not only do you need room enough for a possible 12 in-18 inch dragon but things for thm to climb on and hide, They are important because the hight differences in the hide and climbing allow them to get at different temperatures. As they are ectotherms and regulate there body temp by external sources so may get low to be nearer a heating pad or higher nearer a light and have to be so many inches to get the proper penetration of he UVB light needed for proper bone growth, Also need enough room for a fairly good size water bowel as well as a dish for fruots and veggies ans well as possible mealworms.. You can probably get a tank or terrarium set up right on line as your most choice and best prices.. I have a water dragon in a 4 by 8 foot heigh terraium and48 inches long, I love this because I can set up all kinds of vines which he climbs and branches You will not need this but I have a pan big enough for him to lie in that has moist soil when I got him I did not know if it was male or female so set it up as he was a female and needed the dirt for laying eggs, and then I have a water dish bug enough for him to get his whole body in and lay and soak but again he is a water dragon, but beardes still like to hop around and bask, He can alsoi climb the netting on the outside of the cage and does, Bearded will climb aswell but spend most of there adult life fndung just the right spot to bask in the light.. I also have live plants and can make it look really natural.. You can get a setup that possibly can be shipped to you on petsmart,com it is where I got mine they have other variouse large lizard setups. Also I am sure you have loval magazines or newpapers with For sale items often you can get anks in such things even one with a minor crack cheap will work as you do not need it to hold water, Do a basic google search on reptile habitats and narrow it to Australia.. You will not regret doing all of this work for a beardeddragon, that will be my next reptile.. I work at a petstore and will go in early just to play with the bearded. If space is an issue have you thought about looking at the Rankin or Lawson Dragon.. They are called either, They are a smaller version of the bearded dragon so rewuire less setup space, such asThe lowest reccommended lize for a pair of Rankins or lawson is 20 gallon it can be harder to regulate the heat so they do not overheat but can be done so by elevate the basking site so it is near the screen topand one tank endthey typically will bask at 110 degrees and gl as low as 80. A slighlty larger like a 29 gallon may be easier to achieve this. The characteristic difference between them and a bearded dragon besides the size is they do not get the full beard, but coloring is simiar t the same.They are alos an Australian animal so should not be to hard for you to get, fairly new for a pet to the US. I have been reading in Reptiles 2007 issue about them and they have an explination on building a habitat for the outside, according to this you can keep 8 Rankin Dragons in the same size setup and one to 2 full size bearded,, also tells the dimensions of a cage if you are handy to build for inside. like with other reptiles if keeping more you want2 females to every male a s a rule but can go 3 femlaes to every male..But full size beardeds are wirth the space and extra money if you have it.. I know Petco.com has what they call caresheets you can get for free of every animal it tells the basics needed to set up any animal.. I doknow people that have made them out of wood frames with a wire mesh encloser lookd really cool seeings you so not have to have them humid all the time it will not hurt the wood as they are dessert animals.. The only downsid I have found to my terrarium set up is keeping the heat in I have to play with a heat emitter and the Uvb and additional bulb source to get the temp I need and because mine is a water dragon and tropical needs the humidity and harfer to keep in seeings it is so airy, but I can it is just extra work and I like the idea he has all this climbing and basking space and I can change it around all the time and he likes that,, And the screen terrariums like that are only like 40.00 on petsmart.com mot sure if they mail to Australia but they are a world wide company,, I am sure like zoomed or other major reptile companies would ship to you.. Good luck and good choice..Also check out ebay

Nope. My adult male lives in a 75 gallon long. I still think he could use a bigger "house". Many people end up building their own. Here are some helpful sites:

no, it will eventually grown that long. I'd say 3 x 4 feet at the smallest.
