Please send a picture of your set up. Following that what kind of uvb do you have and where is it located? What are the temps of the tank and how old is your beardie?
Just got uvb reptisun 10.0 but coiled so not good as i understand . 85 F is where the probe is I don’t have all the temps, I am currently away but watching by camera I just took over care of the sweet guy. Bf didn’t get too into details. He’s about 5 yrs.
Ok you want to get a T5 10.0 24 W I use reptisun. You want to sit the probe on top of the platform instead of it hanging over. You also need to change the sand if it’s calcium sand. If you wanna change to non loose substrate tile and non-adhesive shelf liner is good. Considering he’s 5 years and has had a coil he could be showing signs of early MBD you need to get that linear uvb ASAP. Your basking needs to be 100-105 if it doesn’t reach that get a higher wattage bulb but don’t do that until you change the place of the thermostat probe. If you need more help I have a small care guide for newbies that you can check out.
Surface basking temps should be 95-100 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer --- I can recommend 3 good UVB's if you need the links please ask -- in the meantime get rid of the coil and take him outside for some good UVB-- have him sit on your for 15 minutes or so or place him in a plastic tote NO lid -- watch him - you can set him in direct sun or if its really hot partial sun/ shade - but he needs sunlight for 15 min or so -- do not leave him you dont want to over heat him especially if its really hot there - do this till you get the UVB installed in your tank
Thank you! Please send the care guide. Does he need calcium supplementation?
The care guide is in my postings. The supplementation is in it
I will @ you in it
Sorry I think it keeps reposting but said error
How do I know if he’s overheated? He turns light? Did I cause him to be overheated?
He will gape sometimes and try to get to the other side of the tank
The @ does?
Do you want me to copy and paste it here?
I sent it to you in a convo just now maybe that will work
