Hey! I'm a 'newbie' poster here and I had some questions. (and a couple of pictures, too)
So first, The Humidity Gauge says its about 42. The Thermometer says its around 80' on the cold side, and about 101 on the hot side. Are these temperatures okay for my beardie?
I have the following:
Vine (main basking spot)
Plastic plants
Cricket bowl
Vegetable and Fruits bowl
Water Bowl
Fake Rock Area (Climb-able, and second basking spot)
Eco Earth Coconut Fiber Substrate
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Substrate:
I do not let Skippy digest any of this substrate. I keep his food and water in bowls and sometimes feed him out of my hand. Every morning I clean out the bowls and put new food in (incase any loose substrate gets in the food) ... I do know that this substrate keeps humidity high because it holds onto the water if it is sprayed. I am very well aware. I don't really spray the substrate any.. If the humidity gets low, I put more water in the bowl, or I spray the sides of the cage. (I haven't had to spray anything yet.)

Anything that would help my little lizard enjoy his tank more?
Thank you for reading!
