Because either one, you could fit a bearded dragon for it's entire life, but the 36"x18" is a lot better because they don't have to squeeze to turn around. If you do decide on a bearded dragon, I wouldn't keep it in that size enclosure if it gets any longer than 20" (they grow between 16"-24"). They are extremely docile, and mine runs to the side of the tank when I walk in. They have a lot of character as well, much like that of a dog or a cat.

Just remember, if you go for a beardie, be prepared to buy a bigger enclosure (something 48"x18") incase it gets too large for the 50 gallon.

:i was wondering if any1 nows of a good lizard that can live in a 50 gallon tank it has to be calm and not bite unless provoked(which i wont do)no snakes.oh and it can be an omnivore
