Hello, My name is Brittany an I just got my first bearded dragon a week ago! I am in love with him. My boyfriend got him for me for an early Christmas present.I will admit I'm not sure if it is a boy or girl, :lol: He is just so little right now<3. I just have a feeling he's a boy. His name is Reptar. I am looking forward to this journey and cannot wait to have more!!! :D :D :D

Hi. He's a cutie :D Is that a red basking light? If so you need a white basking light. Those red bulbs are garbage.

We have both we just use the red one at night i know they say that they can see lights like that but he doesn't seem to mind just something to keep m warm. What do you use at night. I want to be the best mom I can be to him.

Its better to use a ceramic heat emmitter. I would switch out the red light with one. Just need to figure out what wattage to use. Or you could buy a large wattage one and use a slide dimmer lamp cord to adjust the output. The dimmers are about $15. I use them with the CHE's on my reptile enclosures, roach bins, and incubators.

Hi, welcome to the forum. I also noticed in the background of one of your pics there is a stick on thermometer. If that is the only way you monitor temps you NEED to get either a thermometer with a probe or a temp gun. You can get either for less than $20

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
