Hi All,
I did previously make a post about the basking spot as I needed a quick answer to get him in the warmth. Now he's in I'd like some feedback please as I feel there's a few issues.
First off the Beardy was purchased as a baby and is approximately 1 years old, he has a foot missing and I was told this was a feeding incident? I can't quite elaborate but there we go.
Now the vivarium...
He was currently on a Calci Sand substrate which I read various times was no good as it can cause respitory problems? For this reason I've decided for tonight I'll give the Calci Sand a miss and just have him on the vivarium floor.
Secondly the basking spot, I have a thermostat which works on temperature and light (when there's an amount of light in the room it turns the whole thing on/off) haven't worked that out yet but any how the Setup was originally having the probe off the thermostat dangling in the middle of the vivarium, an analogue thermometer was stuck in the middle of the vivarium but there's no additional thermometer? With my Bosc I had a dual digital thermometer to monitor basking temps and cool side.. From what I can see all that this has ever had is a thermostat probe in the middle and an analogue thermometer in the middle.
Temporarily given the time and the shops are shut I've pulled the analogue thermometer off and placed it on the log which is directly in lign with the log which he's using to bask as a desperate measure to monitor the basking area. Given the information is this definitely an incomplete Setup or are bearded different? I've come from having a Bosc and mine wasn't like this a quick summary for my old was the thermostat probe was placed in the middle nailed to the back, a digital dual probed thermometer was placed either end (directly under the basking area, and one at bottom) should I replicate this for this Beardy?
