Just put her in 4ft high 4 ft long and 2 ft wide. I want to put sand stone in the enclosure for climbing then add some air plants. She is a silkback( my small town pet shop said not much difference in her and a regular beardie) I was definitely lied to about that. 100 watt basking and honestly I can't remember the watts of the vit D bulb. We are trying to get a better set up now. We have done alot of searching Google and everyone has a different opinion about how to care for silkies. She is my first and will be my last. She is my sweet baby girl but she takes alot of work. Any advice is welcome.

Okay. Thanks
I heard back this is what he said
To adhere sandstone I'd probably use a construction adhesive. There is one for landscape blocks that should work well. I think Loctite and Liquid Nails have versions of these. I'd just give it a good 24-48 hrs (or more) to set and offgas before putting into use. Once its dry it should be safe.
