btw hes loving it and the screen netting and the side hole is cool and both night light side and the warm side right now heated are 83-85 on both sides his color got lighter and hes being a good boy

 

[bish109]

[bish109]

i just added a real food dish upgraded my 50w basking to a 150w still gonna be a week or two until i can get the 10.0 uvb tube but it will be fine lol ill post some more pics in a little while gotta eat dinner

 

[bish109]

and the basking temp is 90 plus now its on the 90 on the tape gauge thing lol and its half colored so its probaly 90-95 basking temps maybe higher hes within 6 " the light thing say 107 within 6 " im just worried he will stay to long would he?

the uvb will not put out heat use a 60 wat bulb with a dome next to the uvb make sure he has somewhere to get away from the heat

he started shedding on the tip of his face and you can see it kind getting loose on his head inbeetween his eyes, but now almost his whole tail is getting loose i was wondering if this is normal i thought they shed body first anyway i was wondering if it is humidty i got like a half inch tall maybe less its a small water bowl about a inch and a half wide i dont have a humid meter but i live in the high desert and its almost no humidty and i dont know how to raise it also ive been giving him a couple squirts of mist daily and im now soaking him with water 2 a week would it be better to give him a luke warm bath

Wow you are really trying hard. It is good to see that. Many people don't even try and you are getting some great advice on here too...

 

[bish109]

well if im going to keep a excotic lizard mine as well do the requirements lol well i have the uvb bulb now a uva basking 50w and a night glo 50w will have pics soon too just worried about it getting to hot its right on top but therm thats about 6 inches from day light say 82 and at night like 80-82 but he gets within 4 inches maybe 3 but he seems fine tho and i did my research cause thats my personality i pick things apart and analyze to a exact almost

 

[bish109]

one last thing to buy the digital therm temp gauge

 

[bish109]

i also put i thnk vita sand but from reviews online they said its non dusty and natural
it had barley any dust come up and its a nive deserty color it is calcium sand tho

 

[Fliehigh]

vita sand/calci sand is very dangerous to bearded dragons.
Please do a search on Calcium sand and bearded dragons on google. It doesn't get digested but rather clumps in their intestines.
