Hey everyone! So I finally got rid of that screen top and built a woodent top for my BeardI and may I say it's great! It doesn't scare her when I open it up, the lights don't clatter. Life is great :)

:) for a snake it would be harder because you have to make it 100000% secure. A snake could escape

Is that light inside the cage? If so, you really should take it out and place it on the top somehow.

Why's that?

Why would I do that?

Heat lights in any enclosure I'd imagine could burn an animal. Unless it is *impossible* the dragon can touch the light, it really should be outside the enclosure.

What is the surface temp of that basking spot? It seems as though the light is really close. Are you using a temp gun to measure or only the stick on ones at the side of the tank?

Awesome! What does your surface basking spot read? You must have a lower watt bulb in there? the pictures may be deceiving but the light just looks really close to the branch.

Cool :) Not trying to nag I was just wondering because my bulb for my beardies seems much further away. I am usually struggling to bring down the basking temp.

The dome is huge! The light bulb is 75 watt. The isn't even that far out. I have a 150 watt that gets it way to hot. I just had it set up for 1 hour then the lights went out for the night I'll let you know tomorrow :)
