Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 4
I have a hammock and this uvb/uva stick holder
What size tank? If its 40 or larger I would recommend upgrading to a 24" Zoo Med fixture w/ a 22" Reptisun 10.0 T 5-- or a Arcadia Pro T 5 12% bulb those seem to be harder to find now - most places are out of stock - if you have a Pet Smart in town check there they have started carrying them - other wise I would get the Zoo Med Zoo Med Reptisun T5 HO High Output Terrarium Hood
the foot could of become caught in the hammock which is very common is the hammock a green mesh or one of those braided ones?

40 gal and the 24” fixture
I am confused -- you posted a pic of a 18" fixture -- which are you using ? the 18" or a 24" ? I would swap out the hammock for a cloth one or a fleece one --- www.pamperedbeardies.com or try www.etsy.com - we see a lot of foot and nail injuries from the green mesh and braided hammocks -- the UVB's have certain distance and placement for a T 5 and a T 8 that is why I am trying to clarify the bulb --- screens also block 30% of the rays so we need to place for screen as well

T5 10.0 and it is under the mesh lid
Ok so w/ that being said please make sure the T 5 is directly over the basking decor - that UVB is going to help heal the toe --- are there any other swelling going on w/ the feet or just the one toe? Trying to rule out gout as a possibility as well - what insects are you feeding?

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
