Need some help with bearded dragon set-up
Hey there! I'm not sure where exactly to post this- but i think the lizard discussion area would be best. Anywho, i'm hoping to get a centralian bearded dragon eventually, but i have a few questions about the setup.
The tank i'll be putting it in is a 4ft long tank, 45 gallons.
I have a heat mat of one side of the tank, and it's right by a window. (Like, directly in front of, but it doesn't recieve super harsh sunlight)
Will that be enough for heating and UV needs? I don't really want to buy any bulbs or anything.
Secondly, the tank is currently housing a common garden skink that my neighbours cat brought in. I filled the tank up with garden dirt and it's healing up happily in there. Will it be alright to just dig out the dirt and hose the tank before putting the beardie in? Or will i need to deep clean the whole thing?
Thank's!
