Hey guys,
I appreciate how helpful you have been with info and advice so I figured I would ask for some additional input on heating. I am quite a beginner in regards to caring for a beardie so I want to of course, do it properly.
I am setting up Bowsers new enclosure - its a Atasuki - 46" long x 18" wide x 24"tall like this picture.
I have tiled his enclosure and grouted as well.
In my countless searches across the web, there seems to be a divide or variation on some topics. I was looking to get some input from you all in regards to preferred temperatures.
What are the gradients one would like to achieve in this size of tank? Bowser is about 18 months and I love in Central Ontario. Temps can freezing at times and can be warm at times, but no where even close to the Australian Outback.
What types of things do you do to raise the overall temperature of the enclosure, and what are the main areas you like to check for temperatures (basking spot, cool, middle, etc). For the UVB bulb, would it be more important to have the full length of the enclosure, or 3/4 of it?
Thanks for the help and look forward to hearing your feedback.
