Our new beardie... :)

[blondie73]

Hello everyone!! I bought my daughter a beardie for christmas this year. I must admit that I absolutely LOVE this darling little sweetie. I am very happy we have him/her. The only thing that bothers me is I'm not sure I am doing everything correctly. There is so much conflicting advice when it comes to beardies. My biggest problem is with keeping the aquarium at the right temp and humidity. What is the best lights to use for heat? For UVB? Most accurate thermometers, hygrometers? Do you put the thermometer directly on the basking area for just a few minutes to check the temp where the beardie would bask or do you just put it on the side of the tank and go by that temperature? He/she is in a small aquarium for now. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!! Shelly
