That’s the single probe herpstat with ability to view parameters on a dashboard. Basically think of it as a “smart” stat. Let me look. That had some regular herpstat 1s non web the other day on the spyder robotics website.

I use a herpstat. I looked all over for a microclimate and habistat but no dice in the US. I’ve heard decent things about these, can’t vouche for the seller as I’ve never bought from them, price is good though...

Dimming would prolong the life of the DHP but if you factor In the price difference between a pulse proportional and dimming thermostat and the price of the DHP you can decide which way you want to go. Dimming is the proper method but I’ve seen people get away with Pulse.

T5 or T8 UVB? Is it the correct UV percentage for him? How old if the bulb?

It’s a good sign he hasn’t lost weight. That’s the main thing to keep track of during brumation. How many grams is he currently? That’s a really long time for brumation. The most my beardie has went for was like 2 months.

A little trick to get that CHE up higher with the Arcadia pro mount is to drill out a hole in the top of the enclosure that will allow the ceramic to fit through and mount it on top by flattening out the thin metal. That’s how I have mine mounted with the same fixture.

When my beardie was around a year old we went for a walk down by the water and he stayed on my chest/shoulder the entire walk. We stopped because a few people wanted to check him out and he jumped off my shoulder onto pavement, landed on his feet but it scared the absolute crap out of me...

Edit- I use the 12% as well. 14 is too powerful for interior mount in my viv

I use a 36” as well. When I redo the lighting, I’m going bioactive as well, I’m going to install it on an angle. I also picked up a 36” jungle dawn because that’s what was in stock. I’d probably have went 24” for that but I’ll just angle that too. The 36” does fine in a 48” though. Just make a...

Scary start to this thread but hopefully everything starts making the turn for the better. Glad she’s feeling better!

Thank you, also thanks for answering tons of questions, from when I built my enclosure and talking about the herpstat functions. I’ve learned so much via this forum. PS the picture with him at the sliding door, he does that to harass my two dogs. He knows they are afraid of him and he loves to...

Just wanted to post a pic of Oliver when I first got him in back in July of 2019 and now. His enclosure will be changing soon, I’m going full bioactive. Just need to get the time to do the switch and be home for a few days to make sure everything transitions properly.

My beardie, Oliver is off and on about coated roaches. But what I do is, if he’s in the non coated mood I put the calcium in the bottom of the feeding dish. This works out well because he’s a lousy shot on the first few roaches so he ends up getting a tongue full of calcium until his aim gets...
