So I'm getting a beardie soon, but I'm still not entirely sure about the lighting yet. It's really just 2 questions that I need answers to. 1. Is color temperature absolutely important? I've been shopping around, but I've noticed that I can only find either something with the right color...

Thank you. I'm pretty sure I have a good idea of what to get for basking bulbs now. I should also be pretty much set with the timer. I've managed to make space for a larger container of feeders (which is part of why this reply is a little late). I would have never really thought of the scent...

That does seem really good. Although I think I would need 2 for lights, since it seems there's 2 connections and I would need to connect it to both the basking light and UVB. Thank you, though. I'll definitely consider it.

I live in the US. But I was scared of getting one from Amazon since I have a tendency to look at the 1 star reviews and assume that's what the product it going to be.

What timer would you recommend? I'm going to start shopping for one now.

I'll probably try starting up a colony at some point, then. Although honestly I am feeling a little uneasy about the idea of working with roaches. But if I do go for it, I'll probably still use crickets while the colony builds.

I'll consider the roaches. But it seems like they're a lot more expensive than crickets from what I've seen.

Around how many crickets can I fit into a 2.5 gallon kritter keeper? Or should I just get a 5 gallon tank and use that instead, or along with the kitten keeper? I wanted to get 500 for when I get my beardie, but I don't know if I can house that many. And I don't really have the space for a 10...

So it would be a good idea to keep it a little more open-spaced at first? I had been thinking that less open space would be better, so I guess it's best that I learned that now. As for crickets, I think I already know that I'll be getting all of mine from Rainbow Mealworms, since they have a...

So I've been doing research for the past couple of weeks, and I'm pretty sure that I'm ready to take care of a beardie. Although I do have a few questions that are a little more specific. Sorry I'm putting this into General Discussion, it fit into so many other places that I figured just putting...
