Hey I found these things online. Pretty useful. I want to add one more thing. When it comes to lighting, I would recommend Zilla desert series bulbs just because they're the ones I feel safest with when it comes to my beardie.

# Places to bask and rest
Your bearded dragon wants comfortable places to spend most of his day. Since most of his day involves sitting still warming up or cooling off, make sure he has nice spots for these tasks. Beardies like a nice high perch with a good view for basking. Some dragons like to lie down horizontally, while others seem to prefer sitting angled upwards. In Australia, bearded dragons are often observed clinging to vertical fence posts and tree stumps. For sleeping, many dragons like a close, confined hiding place where they can feel safe from large predators.

# Things to Climb
Bearded dragons are active lizards, and like to climb around. Put some sturdy angled branches or twisty grapewood into the enclosure, and you'll probably see the dragon climbing and exploring. It is very important to make sure that the branches are well anchored and stable, especially for juveniles, so that the dragons do not receive injuries from heavy things falling on them.
