He has the biggest eyes, how about Valcore

This is his enclosure until I can afford a bigger one. He seems pretty cozy in there though.

Ok those rocks piled like that scare me. if they were to fall on him it would not be a good thing.Are the pellets soaked to make them softer for the BD to eat? Those thermos are not accurate, you need one on each side of your habitat for a hot side and cool side reading and with a probe on the end laying directly on the basking spot.

I have a digital therm I use daily to check temps on basking spot. Analog therm is behind the top rocks. Hygrometer is on middle. I can see where the concern is since one isn't visible. The cheapo thermometer registers lower temps so I use it to keep that end around 85 - 90 degrees.

The rock on the bottom holding the stack on top is connected to it permanently. Spent hours trying to get it safe enough but broke down and made a bracket assembly to hold it together. He wasn't getting high enough so I came up with a quick fix til payday.

My concern with the set-up and safety is actually after I disassemble the rocks. The dust may be harmful to him and I'd hate him getting sick.

Food is never an issue. I got into the habit of wetting down freeze dried mix of fruits n veggies for him. Tried those before pellets. Always has crix. Dusted once a week.

Rest assured, he's like my 2nd child only not human. He's definitely safe.

That appears to be a 10 Gal enclosure. If it is, there is no possible way to provide the proper heat gradient required. We have had several BDs get ill & die on this Forum alone, directly related to being housed in a 10 Gal & it can happen quickly. A 20 Gal long should be the bare minimum to start out with.

Housing: A minimum 20 Gal. size enclosures is the smallest useable size for a young dragon that will allow for the proper temperature gradient required, but they will require a larger enclosure as they grow. Ideally, adults should be housed in a 40+ gallon sized enclosure. It is often more cost effective to start with a larger enclosure and divide a smaller section for housing young juveniles, as young dragons will fair better in a smaller area until they become settled in and comfortable with their surroundings. When looking for or designing an enclosure, keep in mind floor space is important so width and depth are preferable to height. Avoid placing enclosures in excessively active areas or in direct sunlight as this has the potential to increase ambient temperatures without providing any benefits (the beneficial UVB rays of the sun do not penetrate solid filters such as glass or plastic). Enclosures should be spot cleaned daily and thoroughly cleaned on a regular schedule.

Your Hygrometer also appears to have a very high reading, I would suggest removing the water bowl to keep the humidity down as low as possible.

Good Luck

I haven't had the chance to finish up my wooden enclosures. Started using small tanks because they had a hard time catching crix. I got bigger aquariums but they are more for aquatics. Too tall and the heat is really difficult to maintain. If I can't finish it by monday since they are getting bigger I'm getting the craigslist special. Lol.

Hygrometer was soaked in the tub earlier that day because he had a bath and his tank cleaned.

I really appreciate the amount of concern with his enclosure. That really makes me glad I joined this community. I love it!
