hello all i just got my beardie today
and i want to make sure his set up is ok...
all righty then, its a 40 gal breeder with a hinged screen lid there is an 18inch reptisun tube light mounted on the inside by the basking area, he has a 100 watt house bulb for heat.
the flooring is that non adhesive shelf liner and
he has an indoor outdoor thermometer with the probe end on his basking spot...
his basking spot is about 108.9 and the cool end is about 80
this is him enjoying some heat...
Also he ate about 8 crickets and some salad today and pooped twice in case any one was wondering
and had a soak as per the breeders directions for post shipping care
thats what the brick was for but it wasn't reaching a high enough temp plus i think it was too far from the uv bulb.... but i will try to figure out how to make it wider maybe wrap some rope around it or something...
Your set up and temps look good! Also that branch you have is awesome, i have the same one for my drogon and he loves it, your little guy will to, it offers lots of variety and heights for basking. Carefull with the shelf liner, his nails may get hooked in the spaces, ceramic tiles are really good, easy to clean up to. He looks happy!
You're set up looks really good! We have a 40g breeder too, but we have the 24" light..but the 18 works too! Oh and we have that same thermometer too! :lol:
Whats with the blue spot? For the breeder knows its your beardie or something? Lol. Very nice tank setup btw, down the road try some tile on the bottom, easy to clean and will keep his nails down
yes the blue spot if from the breeders but his tail is looking like it wants to shed so hopefully it will be gone in a week or so, as for tile i was considering it but for now his brick seems to be helping to keep his nails trim..
