Hi everyone! new to bearded dragons, and going to be getting one or two in a week here. i just turned 16 jan 30 but don't let the age make you think I'm careless etc.. i currently have a 150g freshwater tank and 2 55g freshwater tanks and a leopard gecko. i have easily over $1000 in my tanks and now plan to get a beardie or two for my "zoo" as my parents call it. underneath my 150g stand its all open except for the canister filter. so i plan of making a custom 5'x18' cage. tile floor, some rocks, plants, and big logs. all the needed lighting and everything else i need. i have already found an awesome breeder 1hr away and plan on taking a trip there next week after i get the tank set up. the dragon i have my eyes on is a 7-8" male yellow hypo X citrus tiger for $60. i have done easily 15+ hours of research and feel semi confident about everything i need. but if you would be kind enough to make a simple check list of everything i need and/or recommendations that would awesome!! thanks!!
you may need 2 or 3 under cabinet fixtures with these bulbs in them, end to end, to cover that much area? UVB should cover the basking area plus a bit more... I'm a believer in the KISS method. (Keep it simple stupid). Have in the enclosure only what the dragon needs. Don't get distracted by what YOU think looks cool. (This is often hard to do I know lol) He is def a cutie!!!
