hi all the yesterday i brought a Exo Terra 90x45x45 glass terrarium frow http://www.888reptiles.co.uk . I also brought a Exo Terra large desert heat wave mat, 3 bags of Exo Terra Desert Sand, a Exo Terra Mealworm Feeder and a giant Zoo Med Habba Hut. i plan on buying a few logs and a Exo Terra Wire Light Clamp and a Exo Terra ceramic heater in the near furture. I already have the UVB light and a heat light .

do yourself a favor and don't buy the exo-terra uvb bulbs they are bad for BDs health, they cause eye problems.

I think that the tank that you purchased will work well. It is the size of a 40 gallon breeder and I like the front opening design. It really makes things much easier not having to move the lights all the time. I would suggest against the sand substrate, but I won't go into details here. There is so much information on this site already. Also, I would not use the under tank heater. Beardies register heat from above. I agree with the previous poster on the bulbs. The best bulbs are the MegaRay MVBs or the ReptiSun 10.0.

i know about the sand and the impaction stuff. On one thread it said sand is alright if you keep a close eye whilst eating and im not going to feed him in the same tank anyway. will he be alright if i do that?
