I have a custom built enclosure measuring 4'L x 2'W x 2'H and I just hung a Reptisun 10.0 T5 inside the enclosure attached to the top. The ballast has a reflector and is mounted facing downward in the tank over his basking spot. The basking spot is about 14" below the lighting fixture. Is this...

Finished up building an enclosure following the Crossfire instructions. I think it turned out pretty well. The dimensions are 4'x2'x2'. Trying to get the temps correct before I move Toothless in for good. I put him in just to see what he thought.... He looks pretty happy. Lol

I was watching Toothless eat his reptiworms the other day and noticed he has gotten huge in the few months I've had him. I got him the end of February of this year. The dish he is eating out of, is the container he came home in. I cut it down and use it as a food bowl. He had plenty of room in...

I have been planning on building Toothless a crossfire cage in a couple months when he gets a little bigger. I went to Columbus this weekend to visit a friend and he had a 70 gallon tank that he no longer wanted. I had to take it. It measures 48 x 18.5 x 21". Seems like it should be perfect for...

How smart are baby beardies? My beardie has been sitting in a tree under his CHE after I lowered the temp on his basking rock due to my digital probe readings. I recently got a temp gun and turns out I needed to buy a higher wattage bulb to get the surface temp of the basking rock in the 105...

In trying to determine the proper basking temp for my beardie I thought of an interesting question. Would a heat rock that holds a 110-115 temp be fine if there was a bright white light shining on it that doesn't give off any heat? ( I wouldn't do this, just hypothetical) Should he basically be...

I have an accurite digital thermometer with a probe. I have a couple questions regarding the basking area. The probe end has a little sticky piece of rubber that attaches it to whatever you want to measure. Below is a picture of the probe. I feel as though it is measuring the temperature of the...

How long should I leave my new beardie in his new cage to settle in before regular handling. I got him yesterday and he ate 10 pinheads after about 2 hours in the cage. Today he ate 10 this morning, then had a bath, and will be fed again here in a few minutes.

Now that my cage is set up and the temperatures are where they should be, I brought home a beardie tonight. He's not my first, but my only one currently. I had one that passed about 4 years ago and have been itching to get another. Here she is.....Toothless (guessing this is a common name...

I'm getting a Beardie later this week and I have 2 ceramic heaters on the mesh above the enclosure. It is getting the basking spot to about 105 degrees, but since its a baby I would like to raise this to around 110. The ceramic heaters just won't get me there. I see a lot of people use...
