When i have my temperature probe resting on the basking rock, the temps regularly read over 10 Deg F higher than when I hang the probe near the same spot, but don't let it rest on the rock. I'm like 90% sure i'm correct by hanging the temperature probe, not resting the probe, but just to be...

Thanks for helping put my concerns at ease!!! Funny, he actually woke up, and has been moving around the last two days, just extremely lethargic until i offer food. Is a 3 day brumation a thing? Is he still "Brumating" just not fully asleep? He's really got me all confused now :lol:

Excellent, I will turn his uvb light back on! The extra ambient light i have is a sunblaster 6400K grow light i use to add more light to his tank, and help provide more of a full spectrum lighting in the tank. But in reality it just adds more light to the enclosure. If you look in my past...

This will be Knox's first brumation, as well as mine (he's my first Beardie). He was Born last May, 2018, and its now October 2019 so around 1.5 years old roughly. He's been lethargic for the last month, and i was beginning to suspect he was getting ready to brumate because he started to...

Half the fun, most definitely! 99% of the stress associated with wanting to make sure you provide a suitable home, Also Definitely! :lol: Thanks for letting me bend your Ears, both of you! I will give you updates when i get everything completed!

Okay, lots to respond to so I'll try and answer all of it. Brandon, That's Awesome that you are putting in so much effort into that information! I know myself and plenty of other Beardie caretakers are really benefiting from it, and their dragons are getting better care for it! Here is the...

While i Have you here Brandon (and MrSpectrum :lol: ), do you mind if i can pick your brain(s) a bit for something i am considering? Currently my basking light looks like this, https://imgur.com/a/ankrusp which i've shown on this forum in the last few day, As well as a zoomed 50 watt Basking...

:lol: Green dragon! That's what im thinking! I think its will still add a lot of light to the tank, as well as a bit more on the spectrum! I'll still have the reptisun 10.0, plus the basking bulb. Seems like i'd be hitting at least the majority of the full spectrum, which has got to be...

So since there are spikes in the color spectrum would you recommend not using it inside the tank? I know it wont be quite as beneficial as a full spectrum, but for additional light would it not work? I definitely don't want to put anything detrimental into the tank!

Brandon, thanks for sharing that article! It was very in depth and seems Charmander put a lot of time and energy into his research! I looked into sunblaster, and they have a full spectrum light that i think may fit the bill...

Brandon, as always, thanks for your quick response! Are there any "preferred" or "recommended" brands I could stick with so i can be sure its the correct one? The full spectrum definitely sounds like what i need! Also, am i correct in assuming more light could help with his energy levels and...

https://imgur.com/a/ankrusp Here's his new setup, but I've seen a noticeable decrease in his energy levels and appetite, and he goes to bed really early ever since being introduced to his new tank! :banghead: I'm wondering if its possibly because it's too dark? The Picture really makes it...

That honestly looks perfect! I'm now looking at the herpstat 1 since my apartments temps have been good and constant for the nighttime, even in the winter! If I could be a bother, and ask how you set yours up that would be awesome! Do you set the probe near the basking area and have it control...

Right now i have my heat lamp on a manual dimmer, and it works great for creating the correct "range" of basking temps (103-107 Deg.). But depending on the day, and the sunlight coming into my bedroom, the basking temps may rise and fall slightly. I would like to get a dimming thermostat, so...
