Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum. I am planning on getting a bearded dragon this Sunday am I want to make sure I have his/her enclosure set up right. I have done a ton of research and I have learned a lot from this forum. Ii picked up a 40 gallon breeder off craigslist and I decided to use slate tile as a substrate.
My main question is about lighting and temperature. I have a 24 inch Reptisun 10.0 that I mounted underneath the mesh top because it's a t8. For my basking bulb I have a 100w clear bulb. It's a household bulb I got from walmart. My question is the basking spot is about 100 degrees, is this hot enough? I'm not sure what age I'm going to get, but will this be suitable for either? My tank is one of those with the vents all around, so it's hard to get a high temp.
Just kind of a side question, I'm getting my bearded dragon at a reptile expo on Sunday. Based on your past experience, how much can I expect to pay for a beardie? I'm not looking for any rare morph or anything like that. Just want to know how much more I need to budget for haha.
