I have a question about diy enclosures. I’ve been told and google has told me two different things about stain and beardies. I found a computer hutch that I would really like to use as the base for an enclosure. It is 4x2x5. It is split into a top and bottom. I want to use the top as the enclosure and the bottom for storage. Someone told me the stain would be harmful so therefore I should use a dresser or tv stand. Wouldn’t a stain be problematic on any reused furniture? Also told and googled that as long as I use a safe sealant I don’t have to worry about the stain. Thanks in advance!

Use a polyurethane seal and let it cure until there are no more fumes and you should be fine. The suggestions for dresser or TV stand were probably thinking those were made of melamine or had some other type of finish or veneer that didn't need to be refinished.

The basking side of my tank isn't getting up to the suggested 100degrees. Does that mean I need to get a new basking light?
does her poop look healthy?
In your perspective does my baby bearded dragon look healthy or unhealthy? Does she look bloated? she is active and eats very well also she is in her basking spot all day
