Hi there folks
My name is Ian and I live in Hoddesdon, just outside of North London.
I've always wanted a reptile as a pet and have been doing research about it recently.
Anyways, I've taken the plunge and got myself 2 baby beardies!
I made the purchase from Millenium Reptiles in Bishops Stortford.
They are both female and are in the same vivarium. They are both about 5 weeks old and are around 2.5" - 3" in length.
The vivarium is 4ft x 2ft x 2ft and has a glass front. I have a tube reptile light and a heat lamp. The light is roughly 16" from the floor of the tank.
The temperature under their basking spot is 39c / 102f and 26c / 79f on the cooler side of the tank. I measured this with a digital thermometer.
The bedding is hemp. It looks like wood shavings but is very soft. The chap who owns the shop recommends it.
Does everything sound ok so far to you folks? I want to give the two girls a decent upbringing!
Many thanks in advance, hello to all
Ian
