I recently set up my beardie tank. Need advice on the tube uv lighting i got. first off, i bought the exo-terra 100 watt sunglow basking light. secondly i bought the 36inch (i think) exo-terra repti glo 10.0 for the uv. are these bad bulbs for my dragons-adults.
My cage set-up is 3 vents on back, one on each side (small circular vents)fake rock background with some basking ledges, two light fixtures installed one with basking light as stated above and another empty for now, just has the uv tube hooked into its electrical socket on it.
substrate: white washed and sifted palysand from menards.
cage items in addition include some basking wood (mopani i believe?) and i also bought a few 4-5 inch diameter granite smooth rocks to decorate and for the beardies to bask on if they like them. also in it is some silk plants hanging down to add more flavor to the tank.
tank: custom made out of mellamine and laquered wood/glass pull down big door. locks on it, glass not plexi.
corner bowl dishwasher safe for food (greens, insects etc)
I am about to do my purchase asap on the adult beardies. temp gun says basking spot is 109 fahrenheit. other end is in the upper 80's .
i would guess the cage itself is darn near 85 gallons or bigger?
does this all sound right? my house is very airconditioned during the day. set at 72 degrees, at night will the beardies be ok?
Thanks for reading and answering all of my questions.
I am very excited.
