Thor is adorable! Thanks for posting the pics. It seems as if you have a climber. My Rosie likes to climb up our tree outside from time to time. The first thing she climbed when we first brought her home was our living room screen.

well first time i saw Thor climbing was on the first day we had him it was later in the day and he was a foot or so from the bottom and i was like ohh **** if he falls and im gonna get some serious speeding tickets going to a vet

Your set up looks nice from what I can see. Do you have a pic of the whole viv? :mrgreen:

 

[AussieOutlaw]

okay give me a minute

 

[AussieOutlaw]

Theres my setup

 

[EmJagsz]

Very nice set up! What kind of basking light are you using? It looks like a red one to me...

Oops! Looks like you've got a little changing to do That infrared basking bulb won't do! You need a bright WHITE bulb for basking. You can use a regular old house bulb, just be sure it is WHITE tinted, not red or yellow etc.

Just remember that they are sunlight basking animals, so their enclosure should be bright as day front to back during the day, with lights off of course during the night.

 

[AussieOutlaw]

can i ask why infrared bulbs aren't suitable?

 

[EmJagsz]

Because Bearded Dragons are daylight basking animals. If you looked up to the sun, it would be bright and hot, not dim and hot. We're supposed to be recreating their natural habitat at least a little, aren't we? :wink:

 

[AussieOutlaw]

alright, i guess this will have to do until I'm out next and can pick up a new bulb

Since ive had Thor he had had a weird obsession with the back corners of the vivarium. he just sits there for an hours staring and scratching i am totally confused on what his angle is?
