Hello all. I will be getting a beardie next month and i would like some advice. I'm mostly confused about UV lighting. If you guys could help me in this, I would be most thankful.

Here is what i have now
-47x20x20inch tank (120x50x50 centimeter)
-Exoterra sandmat
-Zoo Med Reptisun T5 10.0 HO w/fixture
-Thermometer
-Exoterra Basking spot 150W


Is that sufficient Uv light? What else do I need to buy?

Hi there, it all sounds very good so far. Nice strong basking light and top of the line uvb. :) What type of thermometer do you have ? Most here use a digital with a probe, the probe needs to sit in a spot for about 20 -30 minutes to get the right reading I believe.

Do you have the tank partly set up yet ? Any cage decor ? Beardies love o climb, so a nice basking branch or log can be bought or collected outside and put in a preheated oven at 250F for an hour to sterilize it.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
