Building a plywood enclosure. Currently it's primed. Painting next and then sealing with poly. Do you wait for for each "layer" to offgas before going to the next? In other words, should I go ahead and paint (primed 24 hours ago) and then poly when paint is dry or should I wait for primer to...

So my son's BD will be a year old next month. He's definitely outgrown his 40 gal breeder! So decided to build him a new enclosure. I built the box today (It's 4'x2'x2' with 1/2 plywood). It will be front opening so I still need to build a front door (hinged at the bottom). Planning on priming...

Thanks! And now that it's set up, he's officially got areas from 11" to 18" on his basking spot to regulate his UVB.

About 20" to floor.

So, I guess I'm asking is 12" enough (can't go any higher) and that would be to basking spot so to dragon it would be 10" inches. Is that cutting it too close? Or would it be better to be lower with a screen? And if so what kind of screen...the fine screen door mesh of the tank lid (which is...

Currently my son's bearded dragon has a T8 10.0 light that is 8" from the surface of highest basking spot. It is in one of my DJ blacklight fixtures and I'll need it back :) Anyway, purchased a T5 fixture with reflector and a ZooMed 10.0 bulb. Changing in-tank decor is kind of last resort so how...

Thanks! I'll have to pad the perimeter for him.

So my son's baby beardie (10 weeks old) has decided that jumping down from his basking spot is preferable to taking the ramp down. His basking spot is 10 inches above the tile flooring of his tank! It seems like quite a ways down and onto a hard surface. The three times I've seen him do it, I've...

Thank you!

No mesh underneath the UVB.

My son has a baby beardie (about 9 weeks old). He is housed in a 40 gallon breeder. Currently, we are using a 24" Reptisun 10 t8 bulb in one of my djay black light fixtures (has a reflector). The bulb is approximately 8 inches from the surface of his basking spot. Depending where he lays, it can...
