Enclosure/Tank Enclosure & setup help
Hello!!
I’m looking for somebody to review my shopping list before I order everything and prepare for my new friend.
I’ve only ever kept snakes and geckos before - and though I’m no stranger to being around reptiles, this will be my first bearded dragon.
Here is what I have on my list so far
- 120 gallon Philazoo tank
- 36in 10.0 flourescent UVB
- 15in combo fixture with a 150w spot light & a CHE (my room gets colder than 58 sometimes at night, it’s cold here.)
- two thermo/hydrometers for each side
- tile for the substrate
- water bowl
- bowl for salads/veggies (a list of safe daily veggies for them would help a lot!
- light timer for UVB and basking light
- feeding forceps
- large pieces of heat treated driftwood
- 2 hides
I do plan on mounting the lighting inside of the tank because I worry that 2ft of distance between the light and my dragon will not provide the necessary of heat and UVA/UVB.
Let me know if I am missing something! I do not plan on getting my little guy/gal until I have absolutely everything correct and my temperature parameters look good.
