I just got a beardie today from a reptile expo. I noticed it’s stomach is black. Should I be worried? Or is this normal because of the stress from travel? This is my beardie. https://www.beardeddragon.org/media/25709/full

Oh okay! So should I just use that and touch the top of the basking area to make sure it’s 100? Can I just leave the probe in the tank or is it something I have to take out and keep checking to make sure it’s the right temp? I also got this dual temp and humidity one. Is this one reliable for...

What kind of probe do you recommend? I’ve got a stick on digital thermometer in there right now. And I should be all set with the uvb bulb I’ve got the 18 in strip light one.

Hello! It’s my first time ever getting a bearded dragon and setting up the tank. I’ve got a 40 gallon and a 100w basking bulb but the basking area doesn’t seem to be getting hot enough. It’s staying in the 80s. Should I buy a different bulb?
