Thank You very much! I'm so happy to have found this forum. Happy Holidays

I have a quick question. I just read on a Beardie Facebook group that the half log Hides are not good for Bearded dragons because they are made of pine. Is this true? I've had one since I got Spike 2 months ago. Just wondering if I need to toss it. Thank you!

He doesn't spend much time on that hide. Always on his hammock or just below it on the bricks. Thanks for responding so quickly! Besides the vet visit next week, I think I (finally!) have everything figured out. :)

Hi there! I got the 24” Reptisun 10.0 T5 in my 4x2x2 enclosure. I’m aware that a longer size is recommended but also know this will be fine. How is the position of it? It’s 14 inches from the Hide. Obviously much closer to the top of the branch.... Is Spike too close to the UVB? (He’s laying on...

I've had some bigger ones too. I've found that if I feed them to him, he will rip it in half, then eat the other half when he's done chewing. It's kinda gross when the green goo comes out of them though :roll:

Great! Thank you! Will get the recommended 24" fixture and lighting. He loves that branch. I will change out when he gets too big for it. Will put a Hygrometer and digital probe on my list too :-)

How does this set up look? 4x2x2. I only have an 18” reptisun T8 10.0 tube. What length should I upgrade to? Is it ok that I’m also using the old “compact” UVB light (back left corner) to supplement until I do? I have a 100W basking lamp and 100W CHE in the double dome fixture. Don't mind the...

Do you think I should move him in there right away? He's 3 1/2 months old. He's in a 20 gallon now. Thank you!

Thank you! :) It's temporary anyway. 120 gallon terranium coming soon!

I feel like I keep "upgrading" Spike's tank and then I come to find out it's not a good thing. Could someone please explain what the issue is with the coconut fiber substrate? It's not loose, but woven tightly. He has a cozy (cut up) fleece sweatshirt in his bed and basks on his hammock or rock...

Thank you! I will get it done tomorrow.

Thank you! I will have to save for a 75+ gallon. Will the larger tube be ok for less than 2 months in the 20 gallon?
