hi im just making sure if i have everything for my beardie so please tell me if im missing any thing. thanks
ok, lets see i have:
two 5.5 lamps with two black bulbs and two white heat bulbs You dont need black bulbs beardies like to sleep in the dark any light bugs them what kind of white bulbs are they? You could use a flood light from your local hardware store
i have a repti-sun 10.0 with fixture Is this the tube or the coil Tube is better
i have phoenix worms those are excellent of calcium
two hammocks (1 on cool side 1 on hot side and used as basking)
logs
tile as substrate
screen mesh lid
rep-cal's calcium with D3 and plain calcium as well
rep-cal's herptivite with multivitimains
a 55 gallon long cage
veggies (need to be dusted? i dont know) yes you could dust veggies I do as my beardie wont eat calcium any other way
water bowl no water bowl they wont drink out of it
I usually alternate between calciums either every week or every month. Some people only use plain and some Only use with d3, but since I'm Indesisive I alternate! Sometimes if im out i will just buy one, use it unil its gone amd them the next time i buy it i het opposite od what i got before, if that makes sense. Whatever works best for you.
Correct me if I'm mistaken. I remember reading somewhere... I've read a lot this past month in preparation for my future beardie and I recall this:
ReptiSun 10.0 T8 -> Calcium + D3
Arcadia 12% T5/8 -> Calcium + D3
Mega-Ray bulbs -> Calcium w/o D3
I have a ReptiSun 36" T8 installed w/ Calcium + D3 powder, but have been curious on if the use of Calcium w/o D3 would be better.

It's a personal choice IMO. I use it only because they are under arfificial light and not direct sunlight and i live in New Jersey so the only time its warm enough to take him outside is during summer. But I alternate between the two. I have a reptisun as well. Some vitamins have d3 in them as well, which is another reason why I alternate.
