thank you both tanks are basically set up the same way --- most of the decor came from PetSmart ---
So questions? If I do get the Zenn 4x2x2, #1 will it be too big for his size? (About 10inches) #2 what lighting set up do you have or would you recommend in a 4x2x2 made by zenn?

no hes not going to be too small for the tank -- and I have the Zoo Med 24" fixture w/ the Arcadia 12% bulb -- its inside the tank approx 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor -- I currently use 1 150 watt Exo Terra Intense basking bulb and a 75 watt Exo Terra bulb on the basking side - and then I have a 75 watt Exo Terra in the middle center of my tank for the 2nd basking area where the UVB is that keeps the middle of the tank in the 90's and on the hot side the temps are gradient heat

Oh man that sounds complicated lol. About what size do you recommend the upgrade? I also looked into mounted the UVB inside the tank and this fixture only has two little pear shaped holes on the backside of it. So if I hung it from the glass from those so the light shines down it doesn’t seem like it would be supported. I really would love to have a front opening viv but I can only find larger ones and I don’t really wanna drop lots of money just to have to upgrade to 120 gal later. I also moved the UVB bar directly over his basking spot with the heat lamp behind it. I’m currently at work but I could send a picture of the fixture and set up when i get home in the AM

Ok - you want a 120 gallon - you can try looking on Craigslist or FB marketplace- a 75 gallon as well-- I will get some stuff posted for hanging the fixture

Hey, my bearded dragon jumped off the table yesterday, he shows no stress signs, so it's safe to assume that beardies deal with falls well.
They can - they do not do well on hard surfaces- we've had alot of people here that dragons have hit so hard on the head it has basically killed them broken bones internal injuries- it's best to keep them on a softer surface like your LR carpet- watch for black bearding normal behavior

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
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.
