Hi there : New to bearded dragons but I have done a ton of research and watched a thousand youtube videos and hope to learn more here

Hi there...it's always good to do your research and have the info that you need. So you just recently got a dragon ? Can you post pics of him + his set up ? Here's how:

The enclosure has had upgrades since the pic was taken , I'll try to get some new ones this weekend

Very nice ! You got it right with the nice long branch that allows him to climb up high. Nice long branches are overlooked in favor of hammocks , but wood is still best for climbing/basking . What type of lights do you have ? Be sure to post updated pics.

I installed a 24" fluorescent reptisun 10.0 UVB bulb and a 100 watt incandescent basking light along with some vinyl shelf paper on the bottom. At some point I need to mod podge the branch and add some sand to it , its pretty slick I also did put a homemade hammock on the cool side so she could chill

I love the little skull in the back! Got any close ups of your dragon? What's her name?
The lighting you have is great, as long as the temps are alright. What kind of feeder do you use?
Maybe the sand in the branch isn't such a good idea, 'cuz if she eats it it could cause impaction. Maybe sand the branch with sandpaper to create a rougher surface. You don't have to do that, though. I'm not an expert. Maybe it would actually work really well. Do what you think is best for her.
