hey all, so i just put my five month old boy in his bigger 40 gallon viv and i got a new fake "log" or branch to put in it, but my question is, is this ok to use as a basking spot? it's under the light (it's a longish branch thingy, not real wood though it's fake) and the hottest spot is right under the heat light, and i have a digital probe thermometer that's taped to the log's surface right beneath the light that's been reading anywhere from 99 to 105 degrees. so is this ok to use for him or does he still need a rock? seems like a silly question but i'm just making sure! wouldn't want my beardie to be unhappy for any reason :oops:

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
