Hello everyone. Just bought a new beardie yesterday after the untimely death of Kevin (recieved some bad advice from a vet that didn't really know much about beardies). Say hello to Red:
I have a few questions, since kevin was quite a bit bigger when we first got him. Firstly, is he too small to bath? I guestimate he's about 7-8 weeks old, around 6 inches long including tail. I literally can't feel him stood on my fingertip :lol:
Also, how does my set up look? It's a 30 gallon 3 ft tank, basking area is 43-44C (around 110F) and cool end is 30C (86F).
When we got Kevin he took a few days to settle in which isn't the case this time, yesterday when I first got him home he ate about 6-7 crickets and a bowl of greens! Been today to buy him some buttternut squash, mint leaves and mixed salad leaves (spinach etc). Is this ok for a baby? I'll dust crickets every day with calcium, and give him a sprinkle of nutrobal 1-2 times a week (mainly for the D3).
The UVB is a repti-glo 10.0 15W, is this ok for this size viv? Also it's flat against the back wall, should I find a way to get it more central?
Lots of questions I know but I'm a bit weary after the death of my last beardy
Thanks for reading!!
