Hi guys
New to the forum and very excited to say I will be getting my first Bearded Dragon pet in a few weeks!
I am currently building my own tank out of a Toy chest we no longer use. It is roughly 70 gallon, and I have a few questions:
1.) Is it ok to mount the lights on the inside of the tank, or should I be putting them on top on a screen? Does it matter?
2.) Any idea what the rough wattage of my basking globe needs to be to heat appropriately for a tank this size?
3.) When using a thermostat, should I use it to regulate the warm end or the cold end?
4.) Will it be a problem to house a juvenile in a tank this size?
Thanks in advance. I have done a lot of browsing on the web regarding these questions but I come up with mixed answers. Hoping you guys can help!
