Moe loves his new background....

.... maybe just a little bit too much though!

http://www.youtube.com/embed/46FoDSFIw6s Added video now of his antics.

Its been in two days and he's constantly trying to bask on the rock in the scenary.... looks like i've got a project to do eeek!

On a side note how close can they get to the UV before it gets dangerous... he'd practically got his nose under it earlier so i moved a piece of bark away to make it so he couldn't reach as high.

lmao looks like hes perched on the rock lol... each to there own on the u.v.b light hun as one of my girls has found a way up onto a ledge where the uv is and she lays on it (ledge and uv) its been like that for months and she has never got burned . shes now five months old and rarely gets up there now (to fat) so i went to the beach and she now has a massive log pearched 4 iches under it , which is her spot. i use arcadia 12% u.v.b and its changed every 6 months . just remember its glass so massive risk of smashing in an adult beardie , just use a log looks like he loves it , oh and change it reguar as well xx

FAR TOO CLOSE TO THE UVB!!!

Should be no closer than 6inches.

Fluorescent UVB lights don't emit nearly enough UVB to harm a beardie. I think that the best fluorescent UVB emits like 5% of UVB that sun in Australia does. That's why 15 minutes on the sun equals all day under the fluorescent UVB (that's fluorescent/tube and NOT mercury vapor bulbs, MVB can be harmful to your dragon if they are to close to it).

Its an Arcadia 12% and been in about 2 weeks The old mis-sold 6% had just hit the 6 month mark and i'd got the cash spare to get both beardes new uvs.

Normally he'll just lie on the log and is about 6-7 inches away if not further... its just with the new background he's been 'glass dancing' on that spot and trying to grab the picture lol. Got a vid on my phone i'll pop on here too... comedy value :lol:

Thanks for the advice guys.. bit wary of him smashing the glass so will keep it lower.. just hope he gets bored of climbing it :lol:
