If you need to check on him just turn the light on and look-- I am sure he will be fine - he can go into his hide to get away from the glare of the TV- you can check your temp in the morning before you turn his lights on and that will give you the temp its been all nite - you dont need any type of light on at nite - they like it dark to sleep like us --

Okay awesome! May be silly questions but i just want to be 100% sure, I already love my dragon and want the best for him/her. Also this morning was the first time I seen him go into his hide on the cool side once I turned on his lights ( Like he wasn't done sleeping yet )

I also placed an order from PetMountain and got the ReptiSun 30in T5 hood and had to get the ReptiSun 10.0 T5 bulb from amazon. Everything is on its way now! Super excited!

Also my beardie started shedding a few days ago but only on his tail, is this normal? If you can tell in the picture, the bottom half of his tail still hasn't finished yet but the top half has. I have given him a bath since this started and mist him once a day. Is this something I should be worried about of let it go?

That looks normal to me. The rest of the tail will probably break loose soon.

Okay, Thank You so much! You, Karrie, & Gormagon are awesome for helping!

One last question ( for now anyway lol )

Is this safe to use for cleaning the terrarium or would you recommend something else?

It's probably safe but costs more than you need to spend. I also use vinegar mixed with some water for cleaning followed by some F10 disinfectant for sanitizing surfaces as needed.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
