Where to keep my tank????

[Savanah1998]

Hey guys! Just got my fist beardie almost 2 weeks ago and I am wondering where the best place to keep my beardie savanah would be. Right now she is in a spare bedroom but I was thinking about moving her into my room! Her is a list of my equipment.

20 gallon tank
75 watt "All living things" basking bulb
Reptisun 10.0 T8 uvb
Reptisun hood 20"
Zoo med power stip timer (8am to 8pm)

Temp on hot side low of 102 -115
Cool side is low of 78 - 85
(Measured with "all living thing" Thermo temp gun

Her diet is mainly Calci worms and Dubai roaches with occasional wax worms. I put fresh collard greens and endive with yellow squash every morning (not the best variety I know) but I never see her eat veggies.

So my main concern with moving her into my room is I don't want to mess with her sleep schedule. I'm wondeering how noise lights and movement will effect her when her lights are off. For example having the tv on or playing music or having friends over. I've always heard they need complete darkness to sleep. So yeah I'd love to hear some advise and feed back, thanks!

Almost forgot she's about 2 months I think. (8 inches)

I've always had my tank in the living room. If the lights are on after bedtime it bugs my guy a bit but he'll just go into a hide or into some shade or burrow into his blankets. If you have hide/shade available it shouldn't be a problem. They tend to like being near the action because they're pretty curious by nature and enjoy looking around at activity. My guy likes looking out the window when he's out of the tank too. he'll sit in the window sill for quite a long time.

Cool thanks for the reply! I would keep her in the living room but I have 3 evil cats and a dog that won't leave her alone when they see her lol. Also she does have a couple hides in her tank haven't seen her use them yet tho. Maybe I should wait till she gets older to move her into my room?

The other animals could be a problem. Having her in your room would be fine though, if you can keep the others away and ensure the tank is secure when you're gone.
