Hello All!
I've recently retired from 28yrs of IT work, got a part time job at Petsmart because being at home all the time was killing me! For the first 54 yrs of my life I never owned a single reptile, hampsters, pigs, fish (very into aquariums) but never a reptile. Viewed them as eating machines with little to no personality.
I was very wrong!
Fell in love with beardies while caring for them. Now I've got one! While there are plenty of people at work who have them and give plenty of advice, I always look for more resources to corroborate.
Thought I'd post some pics and get some feed back, ceramic heater (150w) which I have on 24/7 and a UVB/UV light on 12hrs (also 150w, want to say its Zoo-Med, cant remember atm). Temps shown are the moment the UVB light kicks on. I've got the ceramic heater plugged into the temp power controller.
I'm wondering is it to hot at night (we keep the temp in the house quite low). During the day surface temp up top the cave is ~105-108. The cool side is usually 79-80f.
I'm a little confused on the difference between "basking lamp/area" and what I've got now. From reading more I suspect most are going to tell me to get a Pro T5 UVB
