OK so Buddha is 4 almost 5 weeks old and is lovely and fast becoming spoilt he is in a suburra 120 x 45 x 60cm enclosure with a reptile one uvb 10.0 three foot tube along the back and 2 reptile one 50 watt fan heaters
have a timer attatched to it all set for basicall 6am to 7pm then off
have a thermostate thats set to 38 max alarm will sound off if it goes over that so i have a thermometer probe just under basing point and it says 38 then midway down warm end i have another thermometer probe that says 31.5 and probe sitting midway down cool end says 28.4
he has a nice kidney shaped water dish and actully found he doesnt like carrot, brocoli, watercress or sweet potato ( didnt give him them this morning just gave him some plain old bok choy whcih he was seen chomping his way through)
he (i am assuming at this point hes a he ) eat lil crickets well too about 15 to 20 a day since i ignored both local pet shops
he is also doin a toilet job each day so far seems normal as in not runny and can be picked up and disposed of via a tissue..
so my question is are the heat temps ok and can anyone see anything i need to change
oh he has branches and a hide midway in his house and climbing vines ( which he loves and sleeps in)
thanks for your time from a probably paranoid first time beardie mum
( also i decided doesnt matter how much you read and research you get all nervy when you get your first reptile baby)
