My 2 month old beardie will be here in about 2 weeks and I'd like some suggestions/tips on how I should handle lighting and feeding throughout the day. This might get long but here's a run down of how my day looks so far and specs of my tank .
Size : 36"X18"X24"
Substrate : Slate textured tile
Lighting : 1) 24" Reptisun 10.0 T8 in a under the cabinet fixture with the plastic cover off inside the tank back wall.
2)Exo terra intense basking spot bulb in a flukers dome with dimmer .
Temp : Cool side 77-80F
Basking spot 100-105F and 85-90F near it .
1)My work hours vary so I will have the lights on a timer. When do the lights absolutely have to be on ? I'd like to have the lights off for a couple hours in the afternoon /evening since the temp stays around 77F with no lights on if that's ok .
2) I will be feeding greens , crickets and superworms since that's what I have easy access to at the moment . How often should I include the calcium w/ D3 ?
3) Since my work hours vary I will be feeding in the morning and I can have my roommate feed before she leaves for work at 1:30pm.
There's some info , let me know what you think and how I should try and schedule everything around this info . Thanks .
