Recently I bought a bearded dragon with a new set up and I wanted to ask some questions about the set up he gave me as I'm unsure if it is safe or not.
He put in an infra red bulb, which he said was controversial but he has not ran into any issues, he didn't explain WHY it was controversial which makes me slightly suspicious.
He also gave me a mixed desert substrate which I have not put in as I am unsure of how safe it is for beardies and thought it would be better to ask here before I did so. Here is a link to the substrate it is - https://www.reptilecentre.com/prorep-beardie-life-substrate-10kg_p31209755.htm
I will do my own research and make changes if I find it to be neccassary. I also found that the viv is on the small side (34 inches) but the beardie is still very small so for now it should be okay, but let me know if I am wrong. Thank you!
