I think she she could go into the enclosure just fine, put some of her old decor in the new enclosure so shes not stressed, make sure you wash it real good too.

I think she would do just fine, the only issues ur gonna come across with lighting is the Uvb will have to be inside the enclosure, not on top of the screen, and if heat is an issue, just cut cardboard out for the top of the enclosure till you get the right temps , at most you may need to buy a CHE for night time temps… if you show me what materials you’re working with and lighting, i can let you know or help.

List of needs:
decor thats half the height of the big enclosure, a digital probe thermometer,
Some zip ties or wire/string to hang the uvb,
and i think thats it when upgrading, lemme know what you have on hand already.

The kit that my husband bought when she got her from the pet store came with the zoo med mini combo deep dome dual lamp fixture and i have the basking spot lamp 100w and zoo med 100w Nocturnal heat lamp that i use at night when her tank temp drops to low both of them lights is on one side of the small tank she's in now and the zoo med Naturalistic Terrarium hood 5.0 uvb light is on the other side and it also can with a zoo med high range reptile thermometer so if you can think of any extra lights ill need to put in it i was thinkin out the mini combo deep dome like it is with the lights on one side then the middle of the tank have her basking light and then the last side the UVB light do you think that will work?

Does the nocturnal bulb produce light? if so it needs to go today, you want her sleeping in pitch black, a che would be better, im having a hard time understanding, for a while i was usually the combo dome, a che for nighttime and a mvb were in it, then i had the long tubular fixture for uvb, idk if that’s what ur meaning? Lighting can be difficult sometimes…

yeah the nocturnal bulb is for her heat its a red light bulb that i use mainly at night to keep her temp right so she wont get to cold i am take a photo of her tank now that i have her in cause i haven't which'd tanks yet till i know i got everything ima need for her that's how i got her tank for now the dome light get her basking and the red heat light for night time and on the other side is the UVB light but i keep her basking and uvb light on for at least 14 hours after that turn them 2 off and then use the red heat light till morning since it stay cold in my daughter room

So first off, i see a couple things that you’ll wanna fix, right now the dragon is getting NO uvb,….. the uvb and “heat bulb” need to be near eachother, unfortunately those “kits” are almost complete garbage, the tank they offer is too small the lighting is bad, and the other things they give you are not good either, I would first start off getting a timer your lights can plug into, so you dont need to turn ur lighting on or off, secondly that red bulb needs to be thrown away, if you need heat at night GET A CHE, absolutely NO LIGHT what so ever at night time, ur ruining his sleep schedule, if your home is colder than 65 you need a che , if ur home stays in the 70s at night you DONT need a che, realistically you need all new fixtures…….bulbs etc. the dual fixture CAN be kept its okay, but the uvb needs to be atleast 50% the length of the enclosure, it needs to be a t5 HO (high output) 10.0 , im assuming the bulb in there now is a t8 , those arnt as strong as T5, ill attach some pictures of what i use then you can make ur decisions based off that.

 

[Skybug]

See how my uvb is next to my dragons basking? I use these heat bulbs, and i dont have a che in with my dragon, but i do have one in my tokay geckos enclosure, you have two choices for uvb, the ZOOMED or the ARCADIA, both are good fixtures, so whatever’s available to you should be fine.

Possibly, some dragons are bigger than others….. my girl is absolutely massive! They should be 16-20 inches and around 450-500 grams, as you can see my girls very heavy, but not over weight, if anything she could gave n some more.

 

[Toothless & Lil Man mommy]

[Skybug]

I dont know actually, she was a petco rescue and labeled “fancy dragon” I believe shes a hypo orange/citrus pastel, shes very pale some days.
