Took him out there again today and he went running up the side of one of the rock faces. Easily cleared about a hundred feet inside of 15 seconds. I was pretty impressed at his speed

My plan is to build an extension out the back of the tank that heads out the window. Probably won't do it till next year though since winter is going to be here in like a month

I'm in the process of building him a new tank so he's been spending a fair amount of time out and about as the current tank he's in his rather small http://imgur.com/gallery/UGMZT1m http://imgur.com/gallery/YwLtQ0X

i think ill need a heater, just testing the house temps... i dont think ill run heat in the whole house on blast at night. right now the house sits at about 50f and night outside temps are getting into the low 40's here

ill check out hte bulbs. my thought was that at night i cant run the bulb and i dont know if the house itself would be much over 65/70 in the winter. suppose that might be good enough? im not sure how long it would take the heat lamps to warm the enclosure. suppose ill have to test that. its not...

her basking temps are around 110 by my crappy digital thermometer. i plan to use an Arduino off a relay bank to control basking/humidity/heat. the tungsten filaments seem to produce the widest range of light frequencies, at least by the spec sheets i looked at. they are basically flood lights...

i dont have probes yet, just stick on temp guys right now. his tank is only 1/2 built, i ran out of wood today so maybe ill be done next week. i bought a 36" uvb10 T5 the other week so i have that. then i have two tungston filament basking lights. im thinking of getting a space heater external...

last year was terrible. i had to go out of town, left my beardie with a friend as i couldn't take her with. then covid, the world fell apart. while i was away sindragosa passed. she stopped eating and my friend could not get her to eat. he went around to local pet shops to pay someone to nurse...

meet Nozdormu, got him the same day she came into petsmart. she was hiding way in the back and ran away when we put our hands in the tank. https://imgur.com/gallery/uC3lMvk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCsM3bjAK3g the only way i can get him to drink https://youtu.be/T5GBgNeG7jo

That guide is pretty unclear, so I would want to use the bio dudes substrate, it looks like he only sells in 1.5 cubic feet bags and I need three or four or five in deep? So that's a couple hundred in substrate material, it talks about using other types of substrate but doesn't list what they...

Do any of you run bioactive and if so how well does it work? I saw some of the videos and equipment to buy for it but it doesn't look like there's very much in the kit and I'm curious to know how often you have to re-buy stuff to keep it going? I guess, how much more work is it than just a...

Done. What about temperature control? I would like a thermostat that can control my basking lights on a dimmer switch automatically, I can find them available in Europe and I saw a couple of cheap things here in America but they look real sketchy

Okay, good to know. I'm also looking for a basking lamp that is a Tungsten filament and a floodlight rather than a spotlight. I seem to be having a really hard time figuring out exactly what the wavelengths are on the different bulbs, when I went to Petco every box had the same generic stamp on...

I had assumed the T8 being bigger would have been more powerful
