Reptiles for sale in the UAE: prices, documents and terrariums

Updated 5 November 2026

A common bearded dragon costs about AED 400 to 950 in the UAE, and adult colour morphs reach AED 3,750, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. Name the type, age, morph and documents you need in a request on BlaBlaPrice, and sellers reply with current offers in the chat.

Prices are per animal, and a terrarium is priced separately. Terrariums run from about AED 218 for a nano tank to about AED 687 for a larger tank with a metal mesh roof and door, so include them in your budget from the start.

Rules and documents to check

Federal law on the protection of animals covers reptiles as well as birds and fish, and pet shops must follow the standards set for animals displayed for sale. Rare or endangered species fall under a separate law on endangered animals and plants. Imports go through agricultural and veterinary quarantine, so ask for the seller's documents before paying for any imported or rare animal.

Season and the heat

The climate is very hot from May to September and mild from November to March. A reptile enclosure needs a stable temperature, so in the summer months ask a seller about heating and cooling equipment for the terrarium. Buying in the mild months also means less time in a hot car on the way home.

Delivery and collection

Ask whether you collect in person or whether the seller delivers to your city, which may be Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain. Terrarium sizes are given in centimetres, so measure the space you have before you order.

What to write in the request

Name the type of reptile, the morph or colour you want, the age, and the sex if it matters to you. Add the terrarium size you have, the city you will collect from, and whether you need the documents. State your budget in AED, and say whether you want a terrarium and heating equipment in the same offer.

Requests on BlaBlaPrice are free for buyers. You describe what you need in your own words in the chat. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers reply with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to exchange them. Start with a request or read how it works.
