Hello, everyone
This is our new tank setup, its a 29 gallon tank for a starter! I have outdoor tile on the bottom, i am using a reptisun 10.0 bulb, and a basking spot lamp which is 50 watts its about 10 inches from the highest spot on the hammock! Give me your input to this please.

looks good

how far away is the hammock from the UVB bulb? and is there any mesh between it and the tank??

Apart from that looks lovely

Grout the tiles or put something over.
I did that mistake and 3 nails of my beardie cut snapped off because they got stuck in between. He's okay and all but he'll never get his nails back. His nails go in 1/8th about, it took a little piece of his thumb too. Even today, years later, he still has a finger bigger than the others. don't let that happen to your beardies

The uvb bulb is 13 inches from the hammock. Grout the tiles, I was going to do that on his big viv that i build for him what if i had a space in the middle of the tiles and had reptile carpet under those tiles?

I put reptile carpet over the tiles...not that it matters much (the tiles i mean) you can space out the tiles, but sure his claws cant be stuck in though. enough space so if his whole foot gets in there, he can take it out no problem. (half inch to an inch if full grown)

If you want a best job though, just grout. Sexy, and everything-proof. Use non sanded grout, aka : grout you use for bathroom tiles in showers for examples. Smoother i find and there's no risk of him licking the sandy part. Really the best way to go. unless you put over repti carpet.

Okay thanks i also have no screen cause i did not want that to get in the way of the uvb bulb so i left it open, is that okay all the spots are low enough that he can not escape so thats a plus.

very nice!

Brokenwings · Sep 1, 2010

Yes, i don't have a screen on mine too. it's all good. as long as he's in reach!

you will also need to lower the UVB, it needs to be about 6-8" from the beardy for the best UVB, every inch further away and the ammount of UVB he gets decreases dramatically. You can either lower the UVB into the tank or raise the hammock up to meet it!

How are you measuring your temps?

My uvb bulb is bare in the tank nothing like screen or glass in its way its 11 inches from his spots and the basking temp is 116 and the cool side is 79. How is that?

Buggsy · Sep 2, 2010

The UVB needs to be 6-8" away, so 11 is still too far, try raising the hammock up a little.
