Hey all! So I was having a huge issue trying to keep my cat off of the top of my beardie's tank. I was so afraid of her falling through and injuring Charlie. so here's my solution:

I went to Home Depot and bought a sturdy piece of wood and had them cut it to my measurements. I made sure the lighting fixtures wouldn't touch It too. So when I got home I put the hinges on so I could easily access the tank and drilled a bunch of holes in it to make sure the air would still flow through while giving an extra barrier to keep the heat in. I'm going to monitor how Charlie does with it and keep an eye on the temperatures and I'll let you know!

I have an x-mat that I use occasionally to keep my cats and dogs off of the kitchen counter and I now keep it on the bearded dragon tank. it's not the most attractive thing though. I'm needing to get a bigger tank and have been eyeing the DIY tanks that have a solid wood top, for that reason.

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
