First time setup (tips appreciated)

[HungerCity]

This is my first time setup first pet beardie.

was wondering if this setup looks ok, what I should change/add etc.

got the basking light, a ceramic bulb, and the uv one. Still tweaking the lighting setup I don't think its quite warm enough for day time. The Humidity has level out at 35% the basking spot seems stuck at 96-97 Ferenheight(sp) 36 celcius (think I might need to buy another light fixture and bask or ceramic light) its a 57gallon tank divided in half with cardboard.

I turned up the temperature of the house a few degree's and now the tank temp is good n rising!





my Beardie actually moved over from directly under the lights now, so i think its happy!
the temps is at around 103-104

Your temps sound good. If he seems comfortable I'd remove the cardboard and give him a cool side to go to if he wants. It can stay up if he still seems skittish though. I would replace the coil UVB light with a tube style light for best results. The tubes project a much more even, widespread beam of UVB rather than an intense cone that the coils produce which is difficult to bask under. I'd get one of these and set it on the basking side of the tank, right on top.

Thanks for the tips!! the cool side with card board is around 80 degrees i am tweaking how far back to move the card board cause if i take it out the basking area temp drops to low 90's i've reading 105-110 good for the babies. i'll have to look into getting better UVB light! thanks again

 

[CooperDragon]

Yes, that's true. For young dragons you want to have an available basking area between 100-110.

Got her the Reptisun 10.0





and set up a dripper that i will keep unless it gets to humid

 

[CooperDragon]

Great! Let me know how the dripper works out. I've read some good things about using dripping water to simulate rain running off of plant leaves and get them to drink.
