A tank hehehe and depending on what size dragon you start with will dictate the size tank but I would start with nothing smaller than a 48 gallon tall tank with lots of stuff to climb on since they are arboreal reptiles. With a tank like that I have had very good success with a 100 watt T-Rex active UVB flood bulb ( cost a bit more but well worth it ) this takes care of heat and uvb lighting. A night time heat source, this year I am changing all my tanks to ceramic heaters for this. A swimming pool... dragons like to soak and the best and cheapest thing I have ever come across is a plain plastic paint roller tray. I t gives a deep and shallow end and if you get one with little legs under the shallow end then you also just bought thedragon a nice place to hide when stressed. Powdered calcium for the insect feeders ( since i feed only whole prey items now I don't bother with it but with a young dragon doing insects I think it is a must ) I know lots of people say don't use heat rocks but eack of my dragon tanks has one and usually they only get used after a heavy meal... then the dragon will rest on it for a little while and then climb back up to a good perch spot. I like to feed my dragons from a food dish so they know where to look all the time so i think it is a good investment also. Astro turf or repticarpet that you can hang off the wall at one end of the tank ( I duct taped mine at the top outside the tank ) My dragons loved climbing the wall and watching the world from a hanging position. This should help to get you started I hope. can't think of anymore for now so good luck.
