Hi All, My name is Shawn. I had a beardie years ago but was forced to part with him when I moved to WI. I am looking to get a new baby from a local breeder but they will not be ready for a few weeks. In the meantime I am going to be getting the cage setup. Below is a list of items that I plan on using.
Enclosure-
I will be getting a 40g breeder size front opening terrarium style as I do not like having to move lamps nor do I like reaching from the top to handle my pets.
UVB - 2ft Sunblaster T5 HO fixture paired with ReptiSun 10.0 24w on timer (13 on) mounted inside
Substrate - Going to use tile from local hardware store.
Interior Decor - Random basking logs and rocks from local shop
This is where I am going to need a bit of assistance. I know bulb wattage will vary depending on distance. So if anyone is using a similar setup....
Basking Lamp - Thinking a 100w incandescent/spot lamp in dome fixture. Need a recommendation for a dimming thermostat.
CHE Heat - Thinking a 60w in a ceramic dome fixture. Need recommendation for a pulse thermostat if need.
Or, would a MVB be a better choice over the ReptiSun 10 and basking bulb?
Once again, thanks for the help in advance.
