[QUOTE="Chris., post: 2045058, member: 118223"] Hi Loui and welcome to the forum and congrats on getting your first dragon. So in the wild most their predators come from above so a tank that opens on the front rather than the top would be prefered to not scare them everytime you open it. Since you already have a tank you should keep that in mind when approaching your dragon. Try not to come at it from the top. The reptisun 10.0 HO is a very good bulb but as with any tube it is important to get them to the correct distance to the basking decor (something that is much easier with mvbs or mhbs). The first pic looks like there is a ceramic heat emitter in the double dome. Chances are you're not gonna need that. Che are for night time heat (if your room gets below 65°F). During the day you want your heat to come from lights as they are a dessert species and therefore also need high illuminance. Spend lots of time close to the tank and move very slowly. Try handfeeding as much as possible. Don't try to touch or handle them too much during the first week. You want to wait till you can hold your hand close and he doesn't move away from it. Just slowly putting your hand in the tank and holding it close is also good. Have patience some take longer than others ;) [/QUOTE]
