Humidity is fine --- optimal humidity is 40-50-- nothing under 20 or over 70 --- you can take her outside place a tote NO glass directly in the sun dont leave her supervise her for 15 minutes or longer depending on how hot it is -- this will give her good UVB-- do this every day till your UVB comes in --

Finally got the stand and I’m gonna get my girlfriend to bring her outside once the sun comes up, humidity already is way better and temp from since moving off the floor

It’s sunny but the breeze makes it cold so should I just do around 10 minutes

Yes if shes in the sun it will do her good -- watch to see if she starts turning black all over thats a sign of absorbing the heat -- if the plastic tote is deep enough she might be ok -- but you definitely what her to get the UVB rays-- what is the temp?

“Feels like 55” on the weather app she’s outside right now I just got a pic I told her to bring her in after 10 minutes and put her on her rock

You’ve got your stand to go lower and raise your bulb as you need you got proper UVB I’d say you’re well on your way to a good enclosure. Well done keep up the attentiveness

 

[Longfellow777]

Which bulb is in the uvb? And you have a 40 gallon now right ?

Get a piece of decor and put directly under the UVB 12-15 inches

all thanks to everyone who took time to help me on here I really appreciate you guys and so does she… we been thinking about naming her toothless from the movie how to train your dragon lol

I have the reptisun 10.0 for the 40 gallon tank I have..also I know I don’t know for sure if it’s a girl but it just makes it cuter lmao

 

[newowner22]

It’s normal for my baby to turn black when absorbing uvb right? She’s not under the bask light she’s just under the uvb hood, she’s also moving a lot more but she will only eat like 20 crickets a day, the nutrigrubs should be here within the next day or 2 hopefully she likes them better but just don’t want it to not eat if she hungry…been eating kale every morning and throughout the day but if I put her in the tank with the crickets she doesn’t really want to chase and eat them and I put them in her home but not too many because don’t want them getting lost under the paper and her eat the dead ones if found, I usually just have to use tweezers and she’ll eat like that but the amount doesnt change she’ll eat about 8-12 in the morning but at lunch and dinner she’ll eat like 10 (MAXIMUM)

Your uvb and decor placement is good now right ? you have 12-15inches directly under the light right? And you want it running long ways on the tank. Next to bask light. If your uvb and temps are good just give toothless sometime. The black beard may just be from alot of changes and stress has been made as of lately. When toothless is use to things how they are and proper uv for the d3 cycle toothless will come around.
