So I just recently got a beardie and I’ve done a lot of research I just still need to know if what I have for lighting is okay. (the temperatures are all perfect on hot and cool side as well as humidity %)

Keep in mind I have a 40 gallon (18in tall 36.5 in long) and all the lights are on top of metal mesh screening so I need to know if all these lights are strong enough!!!

So for the basking I have The solar glo heat, uvb, and uva at 100w

Then for the the length of the enclosure between the cool side and warm i have the reptisun Tube uvb 10.0 T8 at 15w

And for the cool side I have the reptisun 10.0 uvb bulb and it doesn’t say the wattage

Any advice? Or is this okay?

You only need the one T 8 but it needs to be on the inside of the tank no clear plastic cover over the bulb and basking decor needs to be approx 6-8 inches directly underneath- the solar glo is a 100 watt? I would get rid of the UVB on the cool side- especially if it's a coil! You do not want a coil! The solar glo is good as long as it's keeping temps 105-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer for a baby- juvies / adults 95-110

Thank you! I corrected it, no more coil bulb , UVB tube is on the inside and the heat lamp is still on top of screen but it’s giving off a good amount of heat. Thank you!

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.
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
