Hey all, my son (11) has been researching bearded dragons and we have decided to take the plunge. I have read a lot of care information but there is a ton of terrarium info out there. I have read mixed reviews on the starter kits so I need some advice so I don’t buy twice we will probably getting most from PetSmart to start and I want to have it right before I let him buy the dragon - give me your set up ideas?
1. 40 gallon to start
2. Basking light - I would like it to sit on top.
3. UVB light again I would it to sit on top.
4. Hammock?? Or structure under basking light
5. Other structure ideas (guessing I need a food and water bowl)
6. Temp/humidity gauges
7. Infrared thermometer I already have
8. Matt - I was thinking the exo sand mat??!
What am I missing just for his/her housing needs? We live in Louisiana - night temp with AC is about 71-72, daytime temps about 74-75. We had iguanas in college but it has been a bit....
TIA
Clint
