You need basking temps of 105-110 place the probe thermometer on the spot where he basks wait 10 min or so get temp -- cool side of tank should be 80's during the day ---- these things I have posted are the most important thing in that tank they control the over all health and behavior of the dragon --- what kind of worms did petco give you? Your dragon needs salads every morning a long w/ his staple insect dusted 5 x per week ONCE per feeding w / calcium D 3 and vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 x per week dusted ONCE per feeding -- Nutrition Content ignore the kale thing its a good staple feederIm using this light he has it on top of the tank now

your baby will not eat w/ out this being correct -- when you get the UVB please post back on here I will help you get it set up in the tank
For a 20 gallon tank use the 5.0 bulb that is in the fixture --- please let me know when you get it --- lay off the wax worms please NO spinach and the alfalfa but keep feeding the kale ---- order him some BSFL from here www.symtonbsf.com order medium since he is little for now -- DO NOT dust them and you will need a bowl like this https://www.amazon.com/MACGOAL-Rept...uGQB&pd_rd_wg=tLkwE&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_dFor a 20 gal tank what would it be i will keep
You updated once i get it. They gave me waxworms. Ive been giving him spinach and alfalfa and kale. The side of the tank is 75•
Do not order the 5.0 bulb the fixture comes w/ one --- is the UVB fixture the 24"?Cool side of the tank 75
Just to make sure and im sorry im causing a lot
Of trouble
This is what im ordering for a 20 Gal tank

Good I will help you place it on the tank when it comes in please postYes i ordered the 24” and cancelled the 5.0 since it comes with one
I also recently ordered this bulb for my 20 gallon. Can you tell me how to place it? Can I just put it on top of the screen?Good I will help you place it on the tank when it comes in please post
For a 5.0 bulb it should be unobstructed so take the screen off or place the UVB on the end of the tank width wise w/ the screen butted up to the fixture you can then place the basking bulb next to it -- place a piece of basking decor directly underneath the UVB approx 6-8 inches -- this will be the most effective for now - when you go to the bigger tank the distance and placement will be different for the 10.0 bulb ---I also recently ordered this bulb for my 20 gallon. Can you tell me how to place it? Can I just put it on top of the screen?
today he has been on his baskin all day and he is active I'm waiting for the supplies to arrive so i can modify his tankHello,
How is your baby doing?
Did you get the Reptisun 10 tube, correct?
You can mount it on top of the screen, but if you could get it mounted underneath of the screen
that would be more effective. I would have it at or around 6-8 inches in distance.

hello the light arrived today can you help me? pleaseGood I will help you place it on the tank when it comes in please post
