Hey, im thinking of getting a beardie from the pet shop i work in, i fell in love with the little guy as soon as i saw him and have read lots and lots on them but just want someone to double check i have actually got the right idea!
I am going to get a 48" x 24" x 15" viv for him and thats about the max i can go to
do i need a (dimming) thermostat? they are pretty darned expensive :S
for the thermometer, can i use a normal cooking one with a probe on the end?
how do you connect the UVB lamp to the top of the viv?
is it ok to have sand in 3/4 of the viv but some slate for the rest, where i will put his food and stuff? i weight out the sand at work and it is very very fine but people have said a lot about the impaction issues but is it ok to mix and match slate and sand?
Im so glad i can use a normal lightbulb; £5 for a "basking" one seems a lot of money!
how much do people spend a week / month on their beardies? (juvy and adult ones)
i cant think of anything else at the moment but i probably will soon enough!
thanks for reading
