Here is a pic of the set up it's an arcadia t5 12% does it look ok or is it too close it's about 12-13 inches away from her the closest she could get is about 10 inches at max is the set up ok or should I change it asap? she doesn't seem to be bothered by it she has been a bit lethargic and has perked up now so I would think she likes it's also about 14 inches away from her basking spot

You should move the UV over towards the hot end. You need your hottest point to also be your highest UV point. Just like in nature. And you want the cool side to have the lowest UV exposure.

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.

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
