New enclosure feedback

[rjm47988]

Hello all

I recently picked up this new enclosure for my two year old boy. It's 42 long 24 deep 21 high. Has two levels and two built in hides. Opens from top and front. Also has a side panel and bottom pull out tray. It was only 149.00 and it so far is meeting with my beardies approval. I like that it provides better ventilation for him. I welcome any feedback.

super cute beardie:> also can you take a picture of the second floor? and also what is the watt of the basking light

Thank you. He basks on the 2nd floor (pic attached). There's a big hide directly below. I have a 75 watt basking bulb but have used a 100 watt as well. He tends to like cooler temps as he is 2.

ok great it looks nice the wattage should be 150watt for 74gallon and yours is like roughly a 70 gallon i would say because 75 gallon tank are 48'' by 24'' by 24'' but using a 150 watt should get you into much warmer degrees than a 75 watt which is what he/she would need but other wise seems alright to use for your beardie one last question what are you using for the bottom?

Thanks for the tip I'll try a higher watt bulb. For the bottom I'm using 12 x 17 vinyl textured placemats. They are great for clean up and still give him some traction.

Oops sorry. I'm using 12 x 17 textured vinyl placemats. They are great for quick clean up and still give him some foot traction. Also use CHE to supplement hear due to the openess of the cage.
