Hi Everybody, I have set up my ZenHabitats 4' x 2' x 2' enclosure for my 6 month old big boy beardie Jumbo. I have a Arcadia ProT5 UVB 14% 24 inch on the inside roof, along with a 150W ceramic heat emitter and a standard LED lightbulb for additional illumination. The floor is porcelain textured tile from Lowe's, and rocks from the desert near Death Valley (outside park boundaries of course :shock:
Using probe thermometers, the hot side air temperature averages 95-100F on top of the biggest rock, and the cool side is 80-85F.
I'd like to get anyone's comments on the setup. I am also concerned that Jumbo doesn't like the hot side and only goes over once every couple days for a short basking session. He's far away from the UVB esp if he hangs out on the floor but doesn't really hang out there. The closest he gets is the middle of the tank where he will occasionally bask. You can see Jumbo in his usual spot way over on the cool side in the pic.
Here's some pics:
and here's a closeup of Jumbo... how's he looking?
