Opinion on Tank Setup

What do you think?

Looks absolutely beautiful. What size dragon will go in there and what exact type + brand of lights do you have ? There are only a few specific bulbs that can provide proper uvb in a large tank. And although the greenery looks great, many dragons will eat it so I would leave it out, as nice as it looks. I could never have fake plants in my tanks for that reason.

Thank you! But don't worry I have the proper lighting! Zoo Med Reptisun 46" T5 HO 10.0 UVB and a basking lamp on the left side. Oliver has much more to grow, so I was not sure if I had too many branches/vines without much space left to roam around. Also, my dragon does try to bite the fake leaves but never actually eats them - it seems that Oliver realizes it's not food??

I did a little rearranging - let me know if you have any suggestions, thanks!

How far from your uvb is the hammock and branch? What fixture is it in and is there a screen? Most setups will need to be at a minimum of 8” away, more if you have a better fixture.

Personally I’d keep the basking lamp closer to the higher uvb areas, on one of the perches.
