Right now we have out baby beard (between 6 and 7 inches long) in a 10gallon tank until I can finish his permanent home. This is my first experience with reptiles and I have been researching incessantly and understand there shouldn't be anything between the UVB and the tank(such as screen). The light/light enclosure spans the width of the tank and covers the back half. I bought a 5.5 inch dome for the basking lamp, and it has the clamp on it. I'm paranoid about him escaping as he has a log that ends about 3 inches from the top(the high point is directly under the UVB bulb). The low point under the basking bulb is about 7.
. Should I be concerned about leaving the front part open? In was thinking about some 2 inch chicken wire to cover that part since it would minimally interfere with the basking bulb. Should I be concerned about him clinging to that and potentially climbing through?
I can't wait to have his big enclosure done so I can stop trying to manage this tiny ass tank.
