I’m going to figure out placement in the morning. I got a T5 HO 24 inches with a 5.0 UVB bulb. I also have a 10.0 UVB bulb that I can put into the reflective hood if I need. It’s only a 40 gal tank.What uvb did you get? You want it placed and distanced correct for best uvb effects- that's going to depend on your screen
Th screen is mesh, I would say semi-fine. I’ll send a photo. Could I possibly switch to the 10.0 UVB (5.0 UVB right now) instead of mounting on the inside? I know mesh filters out a % of UVB so if I just increase the level of UVB would it be okay? Here is a photo of the mesh and setup.Uf the screen is a fine mesh he needs the uvb unobstructed 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor
Its a wide hole screen you can keep it on top but it must be the 10.0 bulb or 12% bulb from Arcadia - get a piece of basking decor directly under the uvb 8-10 inches- he looks goodTh screen is mesh, I would say semi-fine. I’ll send a photo. Could I possibly switch to the 10.0 UVB (5.0 UVB right now) instead of mounting on the inside?

Let's have ahbd take a look at itOkay @KarrieRee I’ll put the 10.0 in.
Does anyone else have an opinion on his tail? I’m assuming the bends are from MBD. But the end does look quite damaged and the second half is dark. What about the “caving in” at the base of his tail, what would that be from?

^^^ hard to see but along his spine where tail starts is concave or caving in.

^^^ half of tail is dark. could just be stress but i’m worried about tail rot.

^^^ damage at tip of tail. this last piece is really barely holding on. he had many free-roaming crickets in his tank previously so it could be bites from that. or maybe he had stuck shed when he was younger. could it be tail rot though?
Dragons are pretty hardy and 54% humidity is good - optimal is 40-50% nothing under 20 or over 70%I want to hang this mini dehumidifier in his tank to keep humidity down. Would that be okay to do? Any better suggestions? Current reading is 54% which could be alright but considering all his health concerns I want to make things as safe as possible for him. He’s opened his mouth at be a couple times (he’s a little feisty) and I think I heard him wheeze twice :/ he’s not coughing or anything but the fact that his tank was cold before means his respiratory system could be at risk.
