Info before I start..
Lighting:UVB- Zoomed Reptisun 10.0 T5H0 florecent tube(22in)
Basking: Zoomed repti basking bulb 100w inside an aluminum "clamp lamp" from Walmart.
Substrate: Zoomed Eco carpet for 40 gallon tank
Tempuratures I have a zoomed digital thermometer with a probe but this is something I need help with..[see below]
Questions..
**Please answer questions in order and number them thanks in advance**
1. When I tried measuring my beardies basking spot with the probe it said 120?!?!?! I moved her tree thing farther away and even clamped the light on the side of the tank in hopes this would help but my question is how can I lower the temp of her basking spot and ALSO how to properly make a correct temperature gradient tank?
2. My beardie closes her eyes one at a time all the time. Sometimes it's when being pet sometimes just when she's sitting there on her tree etc is something wrong?
3. She's still like, scared of us. We've had her for almost a month and she still acts like she's scared and tries running away when we hold her....she has been shedding lately but she's always done this so I'm not sure shedding is why.
4. Is there something better I could have her basking on? She currently has an "All Living Things Gnarled wood Ornament" (tall bare tree thing) and "All living things skull cave reptile ornament" (Skull rock cave thing) both from petsmart.
5. Lastly, the substrate carpet isn't wide enough for my tank and so I put paper towels down where there's not carpet but no matter what substrate I use FRICKIN CRICKETS HIDE UNDERNEATH IT and my dragon has a hard time getting them when they hide. Any ideas on how to prevent these stupid crickets from getting underneath her substrate?!? (Tried vinyl tile too that doesn't stop them either)
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE AND GOD BLESS ?
