Good morning everyone,
i am glad to have found this website/forum, plenty of great information and look like help from passionate people.
My daughter after years of negotiation with the wife manage to have the okay for a bearded dragon, but both my daughter and myself didnt want to just go buy one with the basic set up petshop sell and have an unhappy little friend.
I have few questions, hopefully people will help to answer for us to be able to start on the right track.
Having a limited budget and trying to have the best for our future family member:
Enclosure: i have an old 2*2*2 fish tank, i read the best is 4*2*2, but to start will that be enough? How long before he outgrow it?
we live in ireland in europe and on our budget, the biggest will be be 48″(L) 14.57″(D) 15.75″(H)
Lighting: I have the ballast from the fish tank ( 4*24 t5) the tube were for planted tank (2*10k white 2* growth 9that one go for sure), i think i will have to change them (what is the best set up bulb wise)
Heater: is one CHE (not sure if its the right term, but its what i was reading on one of the page) will be enough in the corner? What position will be the best?
Any advises and tips will be welcome.
Thanks a lot to have a nice forum like this
