I use the reptisun bulbs and live in Nebraska. Sorry I didn't answer sooner. I had some family stuff come up.

He is in a 5 x 2 x 2 cage. He has been in this viv since I got him last August. He has a 4 ft uvb, a 150 watt basking bulb and a 150 watt CHE, that runs at night. All of his temps are in range.

I have a 1 year old beardie who is very finicky and has been acting strange. George has never been one to eat veggies or fruit. His diet has mainly consisted of dubia's when he was younger (until 6-7 months ago) and superworms. Lately (past month or so) he has decided that he still does not...

I am so happy. My new baby just arrived a few minutes ago. He is beautiful. I will post some pics in a few days after he is acclimated to his new home. :blob5:

We have a water softener in our home and I am bringing my new baby home today. Should I buy regular drinking water to use with him or is the water softener safe for him. I can also bypass the softener when I use water for him. Any thoughts?

Yes, it is covered in 5 layers of grout, 3 layers of paint and 5 layers of Mod Podge. Do they prefer a flat basking spot or a branch? Just wanna make him feel at home

Thank you for your help. I have a basking spot made of styrofoam and it sits about 10 inches under the light. Do you think that will be ok?

I have a crossfire cage that I built 60 X 24 X 24. It has plexiglass for the front sliding doors. I have a 48" Reptisun in it. I am wondering if anyone can give me an idea of wattage for a basking lamp and CHE. It stays about 75 degrees in the room at night but it only stays at 65 or so...

The more the merrier.

Here is the address:LOCATION: Ramada Plaza 3321 South 72nd Street, Omaha, Nebraska ... Sound like fun.

There is a Reptile expo going on in Omaha, NE on April 13, 2014 from 9am to 4pm. It is put on by the herp society.

Thank You for the reply. I will remember that.

I am getting ready tobuild a crossfire cage and can't seem to find a background picture to put in it. Can I use textured wallpaper and paint it? What kind of paint would I use and what kind of sealant? Just want to make sure it won't harm my BD.

That is awesome. I hope I can be as creative with the decor for my beardie. Did you use styrofoam? If so, what thickness? I have a few months to play with some ideas.

I couldn't find a regular heating pad in my area that didn't have the automatic off switch so I just went with flex watt and put some insulation around the bin. I also moved it to another area in the room and now we are doing much better on temps. I will post some photos after they get going...
