So, after finding a great deal today, I decided to jump right from Godzilla's original 10 gallon tank to his 40 gallon end tank. I purchased a All Things Living Bearded Dragon Starter tank/kit and have spent the last few hours sprucing it up, adding a few things, cleansing, etc. Here's what it looks like so far.
The list of changes/additions I've made:
- The external lights are just simple 26 watt sunlight lamps
- The big rocks are leftover sandstone from lining our pool (cleansed first in a solution of 1 ounce simple green to 1 gallon of water)
- The wooden structure was originally the structure up which one of my mother's climbing plants grew until it was too small to support it (cleansed in the above solution)
- The smaller grey rocks (you can only see one) are from a bundle I purchased at Petsmart when I bought Godzilla)
So, my main concern is, despite being lit steadily for the past 4 hours, the thermometer is reading only 90 degrees. I accidentally cut off the dome lights on the lid, but the thermo is centered directly below the kit's basking lamp, with the UVB lamp immediately to its left. I know that analog thermos aren't super accurate. I was wondering if anyone else had experience with the All Things Living Bearded Dragon Starter Kit and specifically any input about the enclosed lighting?
