    Lighting

    Right now, I have a 20 gal. Tank for a baby beardie. I bought an "All Living Things" 18", it says 15 watts, 50 UVB bulb. Do you think that is too much light? (One day, I will move to a 40 gal tank.) I plan on putting the light inside the tank so the screen doesn't interfere with the light.

    Baby toe problem

    Got a new little guy, he seems to be doing well, eating fine. However, he does have a bad toe, looks like he got bit or got his toe closed in the lid of a box. It looks like it is pinched in by a thread, and lost blood flow, and is slightly black. He seems to be bothered when I touch it. Any ideas?
