HELP! New Beardie Owner Possibly Purchased with YF

[MamaSong]

What are you using for a basking bulb? He needs a solid bright white bulb that keeps temps of what I posted earlier-- Flukers basking -- Arcadia Halogen-- and Exo Terra Intense bulbs are good but you need the digital probe thermometer to get that temp

This is what I am using. Here is his current tank set up from afar he stays in his tree pretty much all day.

I see the stick on for temp/humidity --- you want 2 digital probe thermometers Zoo Med makes them - you want a digital probe hygrometer Exo Terra Digital Hygrometer | Dubia.com
place this on the center back wall -- optimal humidity 40-50%
hes not getting any UVB -- its thru a screen and the distance is too high-- please get the UVB as soon as possible - I can post 2 more for you if you want me too links if you need them

I think it is great you want to do the best for your little one. What grade do you teach? This could be a great opportunity for a research paper on bearded dragon husbandry, depending on age. Way back in the day, my daughter had to write a research paper. She wanted a parakeet and I told her she needed to know how to properly care for one before we purchased one. She aced the paper and provided excellent care because of it for almost 7 years. Cancer took Koori, which no amount of care could have prevented. RIP Koori.
