I got Spike yesterday from a young family who obviously didn't know much about beardies but he seems healthy and happy, if a little skittish (maybe from rough handling, or lack of handling). He came in a 4 foot wooden viv. He now has a basking light and a Reptisun 5.0 (mum stopped off at the petshop for me, they didn't have any 10.0 tubes, so we had to make do.)
The problem is, I don't have a thermostat or thermometer yet so I'm flying blind. Does anyone know of a temporary fix until I can get a thermostat and thermometer? I'm thinking I could turn his basking light off when he starts to gape (he doesn't really move to the cooler side of the viv). He starts gaping pretty quick though, so I'm really worried it's too hot for him.
I know this is long winded but I'm really worried so any help would be greatly appreciated!
