My name is Gen and my Husband just got me my very first beardie! I'm so excited and so in love with the little guy already. He or she is named Wayne! If its a girl, then it will be a girl named Wayne. :lol: I got him from a breeder and he told me he's only about 3-4 weeks and I was petrified. I'm trying not to handle him too much because he's so tiny but I can't help it! He seems to be doing great though. He's eating crickets, about 16 or so a day, and eating his veggies at lunch. So right now, Wayne is in a 10 gal. with a basking bulb and one of the dreaded CFL UVB's that I read about after I found this site. Also a night bulb that is barely visible to keep the tank at 70 during the night (my husband thinks he lives in Antartica).
So I already have plans for the new VIV and I'm going to start the build next week. It will be a 48x24x20 enclosure with a Reptisun 10.0 running the length of the it and a basking lamp (Having trouble deciding on wattage because of depth). Also a CHE to keep the temp stable at night unless I can find a warmer spot in the house. And the rest is a secret .
So yea, thats it! Any tips?
