Hello everyone,
I just got my first bearded dragon about a month ago and of course, I probably made a bunch of mistakes after being improperly educated by the people of Pet'sMart.
I have learned a lot of information on this site, and when I get paid this Thursday I'd like to finish this setup and build it CORRECTLY for my little guy.
This is how it is currently:
I have a repti glo 5.0 right next to the red basking lamp as seen in the picture. After joining this forum I realize the repti glo lights are trash so I plan on buying a reptisun 10.0.
I see this from pet mountain: http://www.petmountain.com/product/reptile-fluorescent-bulbs/11442-504983/zoo-med-reptisun-10-0-uvb-bulb.html
My question though, is should I buy this one? Or go to amazon and buy the one that says "fluorescent." I don't mind spending some extra cash if it'll be better for my little guy.
Next, I'm reading mixed things about the infrared basking lamp. Some people say they're bad for the beardie's eyes so I'd like to swap that out if that's the case.
I read the lighting thread, but can someone please post up a link of a good bulb they would buy for my beardie's basking spot? I was looking online at Walmart, Home Depot and Lowe's and I'm a bit overwhelmed as to what is best because the price ranges are all over the place. If someone could post a link on a basking light to buy that would be great!
I will be ordering a probe thermometer with everything as well so I can get the temps right!
I currently sprinkle repti-cal in the little glass bowl you see and put the crickets in there so they run all in the calcium before my dragon eats them. I also use this bowl so they don't escape and have the ability to bite him at night.
I am a n00b at this, I fully accept that so please feel free to tell me everything and anything that will make my dragon's life better.
Thanks!
