This is my current set up
Sorry to say hes going to need a bigger tank but the tank is nice and clean -- hes outgrown that tank --- you can look for a 75-120 gallon w / front doors on Craigslist or FB marketplace it will need to be sanitized real good first if you find one --- but for now lets get your lighting and temps corrected - I see hes got some black bearding going that is incorrect basking temps and incorrect UVB --

There is no possible way I will be able to get a bigger tank I cannot find any within my budget I’ve looked and looked and I’m sorry but I’m gonna be selfish and keep it in the 40gallon with proper light fixtures.

I know it’s not the right thing to do but I know multiple people with healthy bearded in 40 gallon tanks.

Yes they have probes
ok so it is your call -- but I would try and get the Zoo Meds I posted and get that UVB ordered please ---- most pet stores do not carry what I posted ---- you can order all this from pangeareptiles these people are fast and good ---- for now I guess I would get ONE of the probes so you have it now to get those basking temps in order and order one from pangea

Ok well in time just get her out so she can run a couple of hrs per day as often as possible then :)

the glass surfing could be the tank is too small as well but getting her out is going to help along w/ correct UVB and temps :)

How should I go about putting the thermometer in the tank with the probe?

Take and place on the spot where she sits for basking wait 10 min or so watch it temp should be 95-100 but the bulb needs to warm up good like I would say a couple of hrs before getting the actual temp -- you dont need to leave the probe there stick it on the side of the basking side its going to give you air or ambient temps then they should be in the 90's which is good -- when the other probe comes if you order it from pangea place that probe on the side of the tank cool side it will give ambient temps 80's during the day and then at nite check the temps first thing before lights on --

Swordtail has been doing a whole lot of "Lizard yoga" lately
Currently trying not to stress over my anemic dragon....she is being treated, but I don't agree with her treatment plan and have been seeking out a second opinion from another vet. If anyone else has dealt with anemia, please let me know how it was resolved. I am losing sleep over this :cry:
Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
Please help. My beardie is my baby and I am worried she may be egg bound but I can't tell. She is over 2 yrs old and has never laid an egg. She has been swollen for two days and can't tell if she may be impacted or egg bound. Please help.
I'm still looking to adopt. I live near Homerville Georgia.
