Halogen lights are the best for basking spots IMO a 50 watt halogen would be plenty of heat for a young beardie and far more efficient than conventional bulbs. |

| | =^.^= Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: Northern NSW Gender: | | | | halogen bulb?? where do i get this from?? and will it fit into a reg screw in light fixture?? He's not sittin on his basking rock all the time like he's cold.. Simon he is 4 months old.. he's only had one woodie today and a bit of water.. and a huge poop lol If he doesnt eat much 2 morrow ill be worried (although there are 3 woodies in there that he could have found and eatten)

| | Impatient Snake Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: Sydney Gender: | | | | Razz - I agree with Cris entirely - I think he needs more heat...40 - 45c should be a good temp range to get his body ticking over again and I think you'll find he will get back to normal. I understand that he is not basking all day but that is likely because the cool temperatures have triggered him to go into a 'cool down' as the temperatures are consistent with Winter...
...It is generally recommended that young Beardies are kept warm through their first year until they have grown a bit...warm him up and he will likely snap out of it...

Connect your heat source to a thermostat to prevent cooking your pet. |

| | Impatient Snake Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: Sydney Gender: | | | | It is possible to overheat your Beardie - in saying that though selecting the right wattage and finding the correct height above your basking site - it is definately possible to run this solely on a timer. Of course a thermostat is the safest way of regulating the temperature but it will need to be checked regularly to ensure it i still functioning correctly...
