Cork worked out great

Probably going to have to attach some cork bark or something to that stick/branch pretty soon to make it a bit wider :)

Thanks for the concern. He's using both basking spots regularly throughout the day but I'm watching the temps as summer approaches

Cool spots are in the low 80''s, ambient is 86, basking is 107 on the left and 113 on the right.

Grunt seems to be enjoying the new space

I'm not 100% sure but I believe g stripe x g stripe is possible like hypo x hypo but to my knowledge it's somewhat unreliable in producing g stripe offspring so you certainly won't get a 100% g stripe clutch out of that cross.

Nice work! I used the exact same foam carving tool for my current enclosure's background which made the carving process much more fun than with regular household utensils. I've witnessed dragons climb some quite vertical surfaces if their nails can find enough purchase but I'm sure the beardie...

Thanks for the suggestion. Given that most platforms are between 9 and 16 inches from the 10.0 tube, that it's not the exclusive uvb source as it's combined with a solar glo and I intend to dust feeders with a calcium+D3 powder I believe the D3 "problem" should be covered. Furthermore in my...

Pretty much done, just need to cut another wider strip of plywood (a straight cut would good this time lol) to cover the gap on the left sliding door.

Good to hear! My personal preference is to keep a dragons "expedition" of rooms etc. to a minimum until they are at least 14 inches and even then exclusively with supervision. But great job finding her!

Given how fast even a baby dragon can run I wouldn't call any place too far. If you hear scratching then try locating the source. If it somehow doesn't end up being the Beardie I'd slowly work my way outward from the room in the search.

I'd try looking along the edges of the room and be extra careful to not squish her while moving furniture. I'd also look along the edges of the mattress. If there are other animals in the house be extremely wary of their behavior (if it's unfortunately not too late). Another suggestion would be...

I have a 5'x4'x3' and successfully heat it with a solar glo 125w on the left end and a Philips 45w equivalent halogen on the other end although I have a second 45w on that end for colder days. The basking sights are between 16" and 12" from the bulbs. Hope that helps.

Hey, so generally for an adult you'll want the basking spot to be between 35-40 Celcius. I'd only use a ceramic heater if the ambient temps at night get below about 18 Celcius. In general, since they are from Australia the brighter the tank is the better. I've had allot of success using 40w...

Yeah the big enclosure in the picture will be the permanent home once he's out of quarantine and about 12-14 inches. In my experience they tend to be allot more active given the space and multiple elevated climbing spots.

Thanks! Beardie will arrive some time in April and should be between 9-10 inches and will first spend 2-4 weeks in a much more simple 20 gallon tank for quarantine/growing him out a tad bit more.

Finally got the temperature probe and it looks like it really was an emissivity issue! Probe is steadily reading between 109.2-109.4 where the ir gun read 114-118 on the right basking spot while the left reads a steady 98.6 where the IR gun read 105. Thanks again for the advice! More pics to...

Thanks allot for both the compliment and the welcome! I'll order the probe this weekend, thanks for the advice! In my prior 10 year experience of making these backgrounds for Beardies I sealed 1 of them but noticed that with 4-5 coats of thinset mortar mixed with sand (applied with a trowel and...

After an unfortunate 9 year hiatus of owning reptiles I'm finally getting back to it and just wanted to share the cage I'm building for the Beardie I'll be getting some time in April. Dimensions are as the title describes 5'x3'x4 (WxDxH) currently equipped with a solar-glo 125w for the left...
