[QUOTE="IswearIsawadragon, post: 2017844, member: 117667"] Hi everyone! I'm so excited to write on this forum instead of lurking in it haha😄 I'm going to be adopting a 6 month old bearded dragon in about a week and I can't wait! I've been doing non-stop research, plus I had old notes from when I was researching about a year or so ago, and I now have my list of what I think I want for this little guy. I wanted to run it by the experts though to see if these are okay choices or if I should change anything, and if so what would be recommended :giggle: [U]Tank[/U]: Zen Habitat 4x2x2 Original; [URL="https://www.zenhabitats.com/products/4x2x2-wood-bearded-dragon-enclosure"]4'x2'x2' Original Wood Panel Bearded Dragon Enclosure | Zen Habitats[/URL] [U]UVB Light Fixture[/U]: Bio Dude Solar Grow T5 HO Single Light Bulb 36"; [URL="https://www.thebiodude.com/products/t5-ho-single-bulb-light-strip-36"]The Bio Dude Solar Grow T5 HO Single Bulb Light Strip 36"[/URL] [U]UVB Light[/U]: T5 Reptisun 10.0 34" [U]Basking Light Fixture[/U]: Fluker's Clamp Lamp with Dimmer 8.5" 150W max; [URL]https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/flukers-clamp-lamp-with-dimmer[/URL] [U]Basking Light[/U]: Philips Indoor/Outdoor PAR30L Floodlight 75W (I'm wishy washy about this, I bought it when I first starting doing research and now I can't find this exact one for sale, it says its a bright light with 920 lumens, the top of the bulb has that mini hexagonal texture- would that hurt the beardie's eyes?) [U]Substrate[/U]: I was going to start with paper towels, then when he grew to adult size maybe switch it out for ceramic tile? I wasn't sure because I heard great things about this material but also that it could affect the joint health of the beardie. My other thought was to use non adhesive shelf liner like this one; [URL]https://www.amazon.com/HooTown-Non-Adhesive-Refrigerator-Waterproof-Cabinets/dp/B08XNBV6L5/ref=sr_1_26_sspa?gclid=Cj0KCQiAgaGgBhC8ARIsAAAyLfF0lEe6IMfKpLZrgJEA0aUVNvoCza8DOZeCIk5zdV0rMBpBRm8rX-waAnaEEALw_wcB&hvadid=193940441927&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9014870&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=11625166029465626664&hvtargid=kwd-315204599279&keywords=duck%2Bnon%2Badhesive%2Bshelf%2Bliner&qid=1678318533&sr=8-26-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzRlYzVUZLMERZMEgyJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjg0MjI1Mks1RzVLRVhSRUhSSiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODE0NjQzRzZCTk02VlNZM1VTJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfbXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1[/URL], but again I was going to wait until he was an adult so that the higher temperatures needed for him now won't crack the liner. I'm not sure, this is where I'm the most confused😅 Another question I have is should I hang the UVB light fixture inside of the tank or would placing in on top of the screen be okay? If it's recommended to hang it, what's the best way to go about that with this particular tank? Also, would the T5 10.0 UVB be too much if it's placed inside? I'm sorry if these questions were already asked and answered in other posts😅 [/QUOTE]
