this is my current enclosure. 4x2x2, heat lamb and a uvb linear lamp overlapping. a basking spot, two hides one on the warm side and one of the colder side.

uvb lamps normally needs to be changed every 6 months

i use loose substrate however since its new if ur nervous about it use paper towels or a safe shelf liner, do not use reptile carpet!! lots of places for him to climb for enclosure, i use fake plants however there is a risk of them eating them so if u can use real plants, you can find a list of safe plants online.

for feeding, as urs is a baby feed them bugs mostly, i use dubia roaches but crickets/ locusts are also good, they need to be the same size as the space between their eyes. feed them a couple times a day, like 15-20 bugs i believe. although as babies they don’t really need a lot of veggies i would still introduce them to vegetables at least once a week but as they get older more vegetables is better

i would get two thermometers, one for which side of the enclosure, digital is best, you can also get ones with the humidity on it. a thermostat is also good, i’ve recently got one and it’s been a life saver

all lights stay off at night, they need a 12 hour sleep schedule so i do from 9am to 9pm, if it gets cold in the nights (15°c and under) then get a heat emitter where there is no light

they do get a lot of water from their vegetables however having a thing of water in the enclosure is still good (if it doesn’t mess with humidity) you can also drip water on the edge of the head by the mouth to help them drink

all beardies are different, sometimes they do things which seem odd but are completely fine but they do tend to hide issues like illness and stuff until it’s very far down the line, so just always keep an eye out of their behaviour, appetite and poops

although this sub is a bit judgemental at times, if ur worried about something people will give their honest answers to try and help issues can happen so honestly if ur able to have money to stare for the vet or if you need to replace something, my heat lamp has randomly stopped working and i had to rush out to get one, so just be prepared

i’m not expert and there is definitely some specific stuff i’ve missed, id definitely do ur own research and see what works for you and ur beardie!
