Is this enclosure ok?

[cherrypeep]

I just recently bought a bearded dragon and I was wondering if this enclosure is good for him and can he live in here the rest of his life? And please do tell if I am doing anything wrong or if I need to add anything I truly appreciate the feedback! !

What r your temps?

My temp is about 90 on basking side and 75-80 on other side

At what height on that fixture?

And no that tank your beardie can not stay in..... You need a 40 gallon breeder at MINIMUM. Also with that tank you have it will be pretty hard to regulate proper temps and humidity for your beardie..........

How are you measuring temps?

yeah definitely will need a different tank eventually I have had good luck with a good ole aquarium with a heat resistant screen top

On the little paper it gave me it says it's 30×12×25 so I don't really know

Alrighty I'll try my best to get him a big tank. I have a little thermometer that sticks to the tank that the pet shop gave me.

Ok......

You need to have a temperature probe at the basking spot.... Those Stickney ones are **** and DO NOT read accurately at all.........

Basking temps need to be 100-115max with an ambient temp of 85. Humidity 10-20%.

Remeber with temps the closer he can get to the bulb the hotter it is.... So place the sensor up most spot to the bulb(highest point dragon can get)

You also need a UVB bulb either Repti sun 10.0 or a Repti glow 10.0. Spanning the tank.
