Hello,
I posted on here yesterday about my beardie being out and getting cold and I would like to thank every one on here for there help. I have learned allot so far from reading this forum and some others that are out there. I purchased Sid on Saturday and I have been really enjoying him since. The people that I purchased him from didn't seem to tell me every thing that would of really helped me in taking care of him such as that he needed a uvb lamp. So upon researching I ran out and grabbed a uvb tube light and now he has that. He is in he little 30"x12" viv that is way to small for him. No real basking area and it just no room for him to really move. So I have started construction on a 72"x18"x24" viv. With a radiant heat floor.
That way he will have a proper basking area and plenty of room for him to run around and explore. I have just purchased all the lighting he will need to have a proper home to hopefully live along time. Last night was the first night he has slept with out any lights on him. ( thanks to the advise of this forum ) and he seemed to be sleeping much harder this morning when I went to see him to turn his lights on for the day. I will post some pictures of him when I can. But he is such a sweet heart. I am kind of worried that he has not pooped since I brought him home on Saturday. But I have been giving him a bath every other day ( he is not to amused at that ) and it hasn't seemed to happen yet. So I am hoping that he will soon. I am also going to be taking him to the vet soon to get him a check up. But thats the story for now and I will update regularly, again thanks for all the useful information so far.
