Hello new beardie owner here. i bought a starter kit for my beardie since i only had a leo setup i needed a better tank anyway so i purchased the starter kit and i got everything i need. my question is as far as my hot side temps go my heat lamp is always on because i dont have an UTH at the moment is this a good investment to make. my hot side/basking area gets to about 95 degrees. this is monitored with a digital thermometer/hygrometer. also how humid do i need to make it and how do i maintain that humidity. my substrate is vitasand as well its what the kit came with if its advised to change it then i will. my beardie seems to not mind the sand and i was informed that if its ingested it should pass through. if i was misinformed please let me know. sorry a little off topic trying to give detailed information but i would like to know how hot exactly do i need it on the hot side during the day. because i want it to be the right temp all the time also how cool do i make it at night? my cool side from what the analog thermometer says is about 75-80 but i never trust those sticky thermometer strips. any and all info is greatly appreciated. when i hold my beardie he/she seems warm to the touch.
