Hey all,
My name is Brandon and im new to the bearded dragon community. I just got my beardie yesterday at the St. Louis Reptile Show, his name is Drake. I have been researching beardies for the last month or so and finally got setup to get one. I have found this site to be a great and everyone on it to be so helpful and hope to be around for many years to come!
His terranium is only a 20 gal for the time being however im going to build one in the next month or two... The light im using is an ESU Mercury Vapor Super-B 160W flood.
I do have a question about the light tho, if you notice in the pic its only about 6-7" from him however the temp reading with the digital (where the probe is laying in the 1st pic) is only getting a reading of ~105 F, my question is...is the MVB to close to him (I know they say keep them ~12" away)?.... if i move it up anymore its not as warm....
Here are the pics...
Drake basking....
His setup for the time being....
