Sorry to hear about your job, things have been rough for a lot of people I know!
Your heating pad heats up to 107? Do you have it on low & do you place your dragon
on the heating pad? If so, 107 would be too hot.
If you are going to use a heating pad, be sure it is on low & that you have a towel in
between your dragon & the pad to keep it from getting too hot.
I agree things have been rough all over and yes use the 5.0 bulb for now- but it needs to be placed inside the tank or take half the screen off or 1/3 off place the fixture length wise across the tank w/ a piece of decor directly underneath w/ a distance of 6-8 inches --- you can pick up the 22" T 5 bulb later - they are around $19-21 -- place the screen butted up to it w/ your basking light next to it -- if you need more help let us know
Definitely put a towel in between your dragon & the heating pad. That way it just doesn't
get too hot. How is he doing today?
Let us know how he is doing.

Hello! I put the heating pad under the reptile carpet, she seemed to like that spot and slept there last night. Yesterday she ate 3 large crickets and she also ate one today. I gave her a bath and she didnt seem like she hated it so thats good i think she she has not gone to the bathroom yet today. She did poop yesterday and it looked fairly healthy. I do need some advice:
My bearded dragons belly stinks. I imagine that means that she walked through her own poop at some point maybe when i was at the grocery store. Ive given her 3 water baths and she still stinks lol
Also ever since i got her from the breeder the end of her tail has been very stiff and slightly points up. Should i be concerned about that?
Its just slightly bent. I hadnt noticed any discoloration but I know they can get infections and rot from shedding. Does this kink look normal? (Sorry for all of these questions, im very new to this and i just want to be sure shes ok)
