Hi! We have a new beardie. This is our first night, I am worried about his nighttime temperature. Do all lights get turned off at night? His cool side is 79. Is that ok for the nighttime? He’s so little I’m scared he’s going to get too cold.
Yes, first beardie, just PetSmart. I have friends who have them, so have gotten good advice on set up etc. Last night was his first night home, just a little daunting! He’s all good this morning though!
No reptisun 10 tube in a fixture in the tank, and a white heat bulb over his basking spot, 100 watt I believe. We also have a ceramic heat emitter in case we need it for night time. His basking is staying about 100, and cool side 79ish. I’m going to get an infrared thermometer gun thing today for more precise readings.
I was told the kits were crappy. I think the set up we bought second hand was originally a kit, but I modified a bunch of stuff based on talking to people and research.
