    Beardie Newbie

    OK, I looked online a bit on the dubia roaches. I could try that. The ones I've seen at Petco look very big so I wasn't sure if our dragon could eat them yet as they seemed bigger than the space between his eyes. Also, I'll have to check if Petsmart has them. They are considerably more...

    Ok great thanks. So his basking area would be pretty low. You think this is a better option than getting a hood on top? I have equal fears of ‘frying’ my dragon as well as not having them get enough uvb.

    Getting a Baby Beardie and trying to figure out lights!

    Thanks so much for the info! I will order the thermometers you suggested. I already ordered the light in the T8. Do you think that will be a problem with a tank our size? 75 gallons.

    Thank you so much for the info!!! Do you have a specific thermometer you use? Also, do I need to worry much about humidity with a desert reptile? Like could it get too humid for them?

    Getting a Baby Beardie and trying to figure out lights!

    So my son wants a baby bearded dragon for his birthday. We've researched all of this like crazy, but I'm still a bit confused. Bare with me.... OK. My tank is a 75 gallon. It is 4 feet long by 21 in high, by 18 in deep. I decided on a 36in fixture and light. Does that seem right? I ordered...

    I think I need a bit more help. We are getting a bearded dragon for my son for his birthday. He wants a baby. We already have a 75 gallon tank set up with everything except the lights and the thermometer. I’ve been researching non stop and am very overwhelmed. I thought getting the compact...
