I feel better for Izzy:)

Here is Izzy's new home with proper lighting and I feel better for her

Looks great but the UVB you purchased needs to be swapped out for a 10.0, the 5.0 is for tropical animals.

Don't sweat it, it's an easy fix & just another trip to the store. The 10.0 will say Desert Climate on the box

 

[I.heart.my.bd]

Yes really; you should read what it says on the box more often :/

I mean I have taken a lot of advice as well as critism on here and I think I have had enough now..I mean I am trying to get it right and sorry if I messed up AGAIN...your smart remark to me wasn't really neccessary nor helpful either!

thank you for the helpful advice and I will get the correct one

Not necessary, let's try being a little more patient with people & helpful with comments.

I am truly sorry if anything I have said has come over harsh. I just want what is best for you and your Izzy. I might get a little frustrated sometimes, and that's just because I wish I could go with you to the store and show you what you need! Too far away, dangit. I have went through a circus act trying to straighten out my husbandry as well, and I am trying to help you avoid making the mistakes I made with mine that could have been deadly if I hadn't gone to a vet right away. I finally got a laser thermometer for my dragons... and most of my temps were perfect with little adjusting. I have too many tanks for just grabbing a couple digital ones. The setup looks gorgeous! Your dragon should be quite happy in there. Make sure you watch out for them nipping at the fake plants as they get older and start eating more veggies.

Your pet store should be able to swap it out with little to no issues, the 10.0 might be just a little more.

YOU have been VERY helpful, and thank you for that! In fact, most of you have been very helpful except that one comment made to me in this thread which was addressed already. I am sorry I am messing up a lot and having to get different things often, but its my first time and the pet store clearly wasnt helpful to me:/

 

[Daeyang]

Geez sorry; I wasn't trying to be mean. It's just happened several times thats all; with the 20 gallon misunderstanding and this; I wasn't coming off mean.

Chain pet stores want to make a sale, and really don't know that much about the reptiles. Any way to get the lights both on the same side? Will they fit? They don't tend to get up high enough without the heat to draw them up for the UVB to do them much good.

I can see the sarcasm and silliness now

I have moved both lights to same side

I can see where the misunderstanding came from with my post yesterday. I asked you what strength of UVB and I told you it would say 10.0 or 5.0 or something like that. You really do need a 10.0 for beardies though.

 

[Germ]

Great improvements, with both lights covering the basking spot & the 10.0 UVB, Izzy will be much better off & happier too. When our BDs are happy so are their slaves .

 

[I.heart.my.bd]

I got the RIGHT uvb bulb-10.0

 

[Germ]

Are you also intending on using that canopy?

 

[I.heart.my.bd]

yes, is that not a good idea?

 

[Germ]

This easy-to-install canopy accommodates compact fluorescent bulbs or low wattage incandescent bulbs.

It is not built for higher wattage heat bulbs.
