My beardie HATES her 20 gallon

[KarrieRee]

Okay, she ate her dubias today, but not her veggies, I'm concerned because she won't eat veggies, but I will get her a uvb either today or tomorrow, her basking area is about 85 degrees, but it's a very cold rainy day today so it's normally 100 or so, should I be worried about a fire hazard with the blanket?

Surface basking spot is 85? It needs to be 95-100 no blankets - what is the wattage of the bulb your using? Please don't get just any uvb - you want a zoo med w/ a reptisun 10.0 T 5 or Arcadia pro T5 12% bulb 24 watt both fixtures need to be 24"

Yes I will get the zoo med one I was planning on that for awhile now, I have a 100 watt incandescent light bulb, but like I said it's very cold today so it's a bit colder, but she's very happy rn, exploring her new enclosure and loving pets

You need to increase wattage then if your only getting a surface temp of 85-

You want at least 6" above her basking surface- she needs constant temps of 95-100 surface basking temps - the uvb is crucial - it's going to need to be 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor for a T 5 bulb
