I'm setting up for my beardie, I don't have him/her yet. I'm building my enclosure and might have future questions on that. For now, I can't find the 22" 12% bulb anywhere online. Am I missing an obvious resource or is there a shortage? What else can I do? 14% is starting to sell out also, but currently available at some sites.
My enclosure is 36" wide, 18" deep and 45" tall. I plan to build two staggered platforms above the floor for hides and basking. I haven't decided how far down I will hang the T5 or basking bulb. Given the height that I have to work with, is the 14% okay, or possibly better than the 12? If I go with 14 I'll need to drop my platform levels which might make regulating my basking heat more challenging. Suggestions?

with a 45 inch tall tank, you might want the 14%. With the 14% you're going to want to make sure your dragon can't get closer than 16-18 inches from it. But, this will also allow it to penetrate much deeper down into the tank.

Personally, I wouldn't use such a tall tank for a dragon, but if you can make it work that's all that matters.

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
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
