Hello everybody! I'm new here, I'm just barely learning the ropes. I've recently purchased my first bearded dragon & it's a baby. I've done a good amount of research but some insight from other beardy owners doesn't hurt :)
The uvb tube, is in a fixture that is somewhat open. Should I purchase a new fixture that focuses it somewhat down instead of everywhere. Bought this at a reptile Expo that I went to yesterday, for $5. Also what should the average humidity for a beardy enclosure be. Thanks guys

PS - The new enclosure will use the same lighting ,as this enclosure is a temporary, that's why it looks a bit odd :p. I'm setting up a new enclosure for him that's better haha Dimensions for the new one L 26" W 18" H 12"
Light used
-Reptisun 10.0 UVB 24" fluorescent Tube - this is 11" high from the bottom of the enclosure
- Exo-Terra Intense basking spot 75W - 11" high from the bottom of the enclosure. Basking spot reaches 110°F

Hi there, so you just got your new little friend + set up yesterday ? Very exciting, I hope he has a long + healthy life with you. the lighting is good but you need a basking log that will allow him to get up close to the uvb bulb. If the bulb is a t8 [ I think it is ] , you'll be better off to attach the uvb fixture UNDER the screen with some twine or wire. Something like this :

That way the uvb is unobstructed by the screen.

BTW, you might as well look for a sale on a much larger tank, a healthy growing beardie will outgrow that one in a couple of months.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
