29 inch enclosure
75 watt basking
10.0 uvb mini compact fluorescent
Basking temp is 105 -110
Cooling side 80-85
Humidity is an issue avg 55-60% at night gets higher. What can I do????
Also the enclosure is 19 inches high, should my lights be inside closer to Marley?
Marley shows stress marks sometimes when in there. By sometimes I mean like a lot lol.
I don't leave food in there... I think I have a spoiled baby
How big is your enclosure in gallons?
The smallest enclosure size for a 1-6 month old beardie is a 20 gallon long (30x12x12) anything lower than that is too small.
The temps sound okay however if you're monitoring them with that little stick on gauge they're most likely incorrect. Make sure you're monitoring them with a temp gun or a digital temperature gauge with a probe.
Also, know if your using that to monitor humidity it is most likely incorrect as well.
55-60% Is an okay humidity for them, anywhere from 20-60% is good just don't go over that. Once you get the correct humidity percentage with an accurate gauge and it's still high then I'd suggest getting a dehumidifier.
Stress marks don't always mean stress. In fact half the time it's just natural coloring although it can definitely be an indicator of stress sometimes. Younger dragons typically will always show them and may not ever lose the patterning as they age.
Not good at measurements but here you go lol dummie form
30 inch long
12 inch wide
18 inch high
I see people having basking light very close to the basking spot. I use a temp gun and her spot reads 105-110, is my spot good.
I do plan on upgrading her lights, thanks for the links and her enclosure definitely upgraded.. Just thought to keep it simple for now, she been with me for 3 weeks..
