Hello. I welcome any help with her, I have never owned a non mammal before, and am finding it a huge learning process. She was on the tree all the time until I changed her room around to put her hide under the shady spot. She might be upset with me for that. Apparently they don't like change.bossdragon":1s8etl5z said:Hello Lady Vulcatrix! I am also a sort of new owner, but will be happy to help if you have any problems! My bearded dragon has that same climbing tree as you, and he loves it so much lol.
Hello Fifa, Thank you. I agree "fancy", I didn't name her and was told I could change her name but I really liked it,and also...what if she already recognizes it.adambeck":r2tx3nop said:Hello, Lady Vulcatrix! Fifa (our bearded dragon) says hi! We love your name too. It's so fancy!

KarrieRee":3n4wqs1u said:Ok so for the UVB I recommend getting a 24" fixture w/ a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 these are the best on the market at this time --- depending on the screen it can sit on top of the tank but we need to know what kind of screen first --- fine mesh like a screen door or a wide hole type -- if you want post a pic of it and we can let you know - placement and distance is crucial here -- the basking bulb should be a bright white basking bulb that keeps temps 95-110 taken w/a digital probe thermometer --- place on basking spot where she sits for 10 minutes or so get the temp-- those 2 things are the most important thing in that tank --- here is a website for nutrition kale is a great staple feeder http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html
Humidity can be 30-40% in the tank you do not want it higher than 70% -- place hygrometer in the back middle wall of tank --
You need a staple feeder insect like crickets dubia roaches or silk worms -- I recommend dubias they are most nutritious and easier to keep -- 10 gallon aquarium feed dubia food a long w / carrots for hydration -- dont feed the dragon carrots too tho too much Vit A-- crickets are stinky and make too much noise-- and they are escape artist -- start there and if you have more questions please ask

Okay. First thank you for the bug links, I have been looking for a place to order without obscene shipping costs., I will check them out after I get all the heating/lighting down. (I have a reptile store near my house, but would prefer better prices if possible because of my fixed income)KarrieRee":3o8x6lzt said:The under counter fixture would work but you MUST put a reflector on it ---
Let me know what your using for a UVB so I can help you get it placed in the tank for correct UVB rays
