    Is one T5 Lamp 30% UVA 12% UVB enough for a 115x40x50 cm enclosure?

    Hello there! We gave our little beardie a smaller enclosure when he was younger, since we are students and had insufficient funds for a bigger terrarium. We decided it should be a good idea to upgrade the size of his enclosure by buying a new terrarium - 115(length) x 40(width) x 50(height)...

    Spot lamp not warm enough

    I recently got a young bearded dragon. He eats well, poops well, and seems generally healthy. But I have a major problem with the basking spot lamp. We have a "Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot lamp bulb 150 watt" yet in a 40 gallon tank, it only reaches 85 degrees Fahrenheit. I was wondering if there...

    Beardies’ 100W heat bulbs keep blowing on two 40 gallon tanks

    I have two bearded dragons in 40 gallon breeder tanks and the bulbs keep blowing. Each of these tanks have a UVB bulb and a basking bulb. The heat bulbs, in either tank, rarely last longer than a few months. In tank 2, I have went through 4 heat bulbs in the last 2 months with one blowing out in...

    Height of light question

    Hello, I have been working to get my temps in my enclosure up to above 100 degrees. What I have noticed is that my dragon's tree is close enough to the top of the tank that it gets very hot to the touch. Which worries me. The instructions for the UVB light that I have say that it should be a...

    So I recently purchased a new heat lamp for my adult female. Shes around 4 years old and my old heat lamp was getting a litle unreliable so I purchased a new heat lamp and 4 100 watt EXO-Terra bulbs.

    Taking Your Beardie out to socialize?

    Hi! I was just wondering how long is a safe amount of time to have my beardie out of their enclosure and heat lamps to play and be social. My beardie was very very hostile when i adopted him from his last owners as they never held him but he LOVES to be out now that he’s gotten used to it. He...

    Do you need extra heat for a 40 gallon?

    my bearded dragons growing fast and I’m gonna need a 40 gallon soon. Aside from the basking lamp on one side, am I going to need to add extra heat to the other side since it’s so big? Would the temp be too cold on the other side or would it be fine just with one lamp on one side of the tank?

    Keeps closing one eye?

    I just got my baby bearded dragon a few days ago and yesterday I noticed she's started to close her left eye at random times. She'll bask and do it, and when I have her out of the cage she'll close it too. It's not always closed, it's just like she blinks for a long time. I'm not sure if its the...
