enclosure help

[windyhero]

hi im looking for assistance on my beardies enclosure.. I feel as if it needs more clutter but I need suggestions. hes often stressed in it. I cant switch him onto loose substrate, unfortunately. he was having issues with excavator clay, topsoil, and playsand.

The bulb he's sitting under is it a solid clear bright white bulb? What are you using to get surface basking temps? Digital probe thermometer is the most accurate - uvb? Brand and bulb please and distance from basking decor? Dragons like floor space you don't want the floor cluttered

his basking bulb is an intense exoterra basking bulb. it doesn't say its colored. im using a digital probe thermometer. he has a high output zoomed uvb. I'd say its about 10 inches away. would you suggest more stuff then?

No - in fact I would give him more floor space what are your temps under the basking light

it is 101°

it is 101°

Ok so good temps- the zoo med is it a 10.0 T 5? It may be too close can you raise it or lower the basking decor? How long does he sit under it

yes it is. im not sure how I could raise it, it. it's one of those hoods. he does under it a few times during the day

I cant see the UVB is it at the top of the enclosure? How long is he sitting under it? They will move away from it if the rays are too strong or they wont sit under it at all - they know how much UVB they need - how are the poops? Good? You can always move the UVB to a area w/ more distance like over your floor w / a piece of basking decor under it - if he is sitting under it w/ a good amount of time then I wouldnt worry about it - but I would give him more floor space -

it sits on top of the enclosure yes. he spends several hours under it usually everyday. his poos are good

Then he is good -- just give him some more floor space
