As for the 'Streaming', you have to have access to the back end of the website that you want to stream it on. It is streamed to 'Stickam.com', similar to a Video Chat on Messenger or Skype, then embedded into my website.

I clicked on your link to see live streaming of your beardies and it locked up my laptop. I had to do a cold hard shutdown....:eek:
It's just the link to my website, don't know why your PC couldn't handle it. Your PC seems to have a few issues with things that no one else does, or has said anything about :confused:.

My laptop is a girl....what else is there to say!! lol....I tried a second time lst night and I can get to the website but it is when I click on streaming video is when it locks up. It could be something in my settings because I do have my laptop locked down pretty tight. Oh well....it is what it is....have a great day!!

Nice enclosure. Lotsa lights. What are your temps, directly at the basking spot & the cool Side? Which spot, do you consider the basking spot? What type of thermometer are you using to measure the Temps? How tall is the enclosure? Which fixture exactly, holds the UVB bulb?

I am not sure of my temps right now, have to get new thermometer. The basking spot is the rock in the middle under the UVB bulb and his cool side is where the log is on the right.

What do you think of a K-2 viper, 150 watt metal halide? Is it appropriate light? If so, what bulb? Kelvin rating?

what a hug tank for such a lil guy! bet hes having a blast in there, also if you can fine one, get a thermomitor that is digital and has one of the probes on the end, place it right under his basking spot for accuret temps. another one for his cool side would be good.

also im not sure if this many lights is needed, that one on the far right could prolly be taken down and not used really. and use that whole side as the cool side.

now the only other thing i can say somthing about is that metallight fixture inside the tank, believe it or not BD's can jump really high/far so your little guy might try and jump from that branch to that metal fixture in which case he could burn himself.

First off, get an appropriate thermometer & be sure of what your temps are & that they are within the acceptable ranges, in the vicinity of 110F directly at the basking spot, with a heat gradient to 80-85F at coolest area of the enclosure. A digital Thermometer with a sensor or an infrared thermometer (Temp Gun properly used) is recommended.

I ask again, exactly which fixture holds the UVB bulb & how tall is the enclosure. What brand & strength UVB bulb are you using?

I don't know what wattages or the types of bulbs you are using, but you have an extraordinary amount of bright lights & fixtures in there, which could mean a lot of heat, possibly way too much. You really have to get an accurate thermometer to check. Again I don't know what type of bulbs you are using, so don't know how much heat they are emitting, but by the shear numbers, it looks just scary.

I am unfamiliar with the K-2 Viper, never heard of it, or know of any one using one. I did a quick google & from what I can see, I wouldn't recommend it, but again, I know very little about them. Any white or clear bulb of sufficient wattage to provide the necessary Temps required at a safe distance will do the job very well. A specialty bulb is not required for heat. Personally, I use regular Halogen flood lights, bought at the hardware store for heat.

In the Pics it appears that it is using the branch more for the basking spot that the rock.

Love your viv....where did you get his little house? It is so cool. My little Spike doesn't use his house at all. He did when he was in the 20 gal tank but not now in the 40....go figure.
