I'm not crafty

[aiden1024]

As the title says I'm not a crafty person
I went a got a 125 watt heat bulb and I couldn't get correct temps so I had to raise the basking spot a little bit
I was brain storming around the house I had fake grass stuff and pink insulation foam
And this is what I came up with

i think the foam is a bad idea. i mean arnt you suppose to have one gloves when you handle that stuff? and isnt inhaling it bad?

1....It's foam
2....it's not foam insulation that has the fiberglass particles

I'm not that stupid

Never tried to imply that you were dumb. You asked our opinion so I gave you my opinion no reason to get mad

Not mad. ...just saying it wasn't harmful

But it can be quite harmful ... Unsealed styrofoam chips very easily. should your BD ingest a small piece that has broken off, poses a very high impaction risk. You would be much better off simply using a board or 2 .

That's the reason I wrapped it in the grass
But I do agree with you I should have uses a plywood plank and made wooden steps

Keep the ramp. It is more easy to climb and sleep on or under. And trust me your dragon is going to sleep in weird places

 

[aiden1024]

So ditch the platform?
And angle the ramp

No no it looks fine as is. Just cover wood plans in the green stuff and leave it as is. It has lots of places for him to hide

I just realised the crickets are crawling under the grass and hiding
I just put 6 crickets in and he ate 2 of them

Ya that can happen. I know some people like to Take your bearded dragons out and feed them in a smaller separate tank. There are some bad points to doin this how ever. Some dragons don't like it and will refuse to eat. Others just need time to get use to the new feeding enclosure. It just takes some time to get use to. If you need to or want to you can do what I do. I take out all of my dragons stuff so it's just him and the food. He seems to eat more when the food can't hide or run.

I'm gonna take everything out but first I gotta go get more crickets
