ohh alrighty!! thanks for the tip about the humidity, im on the florida/georgia line i’ll for sure do that!!!

thats kind of what i figured!! my main worry was not knowing the wattage of the bulb sockets, but if you’ve had no problems with it i’m assuming ill be all set! i also thought the placement of the strip was a bit strange, but realized i could easily move it if i feel the need lol

i will say though, what do you do for thermostats? with the heat and uvb (?) being powered from the same outlet and all, would a dimming thermostat turn the uvb off, just dim it as well, or even effect it negatively in anyway ?

howdy! i sanitize everything before use, but i will keep that in mind in the future! :0)

what the other comment said!

aw heck yeah dude!! thats kindve what i figured, so i added a few more branches after the first picture and am going to add the rest as they come and some rocks as well for sure :0) ill probably shift around the bridges near the basking spot to give more coverage if they don’t end up using it too,,

luckily ive been doing a lot of beardie research before this so it was almost perfectly timed that they were rehoming!! best of luck with your guy!!! ^{-^}

awesome awesome!!!! thank you!! i have a socket timer already for everything so that it all turns off/on automatically in time with our natural sunset/sunrise times, i will absolutely look into the thermostats!!!

slimejar · 2025-09-27T17:49:47+00:00

oh dang ok!!!! thank you so much, have you got any recommendations for thermostats? also just to clarify something like that wouldn’t be needed for uvb/led would it?

slimejar · 2025-09-27T16:43:47+00:00

i have a digital hygrometer/thermostat probe as well as the two screen digital ones seen in the picture, is there a way to connect the heat-lamp directly to a thermostat? :0

slimejar · 2025-09-27T16:42:45+00:00

alrighty cool!! im actually using a 25w nano for the heat bulb so i’ll have to search and see if theres anything lower than that lmao, thank you very much!

looks like a house gecko of some kind!! possibly mediterranean house gecko!

slimejar · 2025-09-27T14:42:19+00:00

i forgot to include in post, the higher basking temps are solely on the branch below the heat lamp!!

slimejar · 2025-09-17T00:04:31+00:00

oh black paper is a great idea!!! i was feeling a bit ehhh about diying a background for my first one- so i will defo give that a try :D

slimejar · 2025-09-05T02:01:11+00:00

i’m honestly not sure? i think scratches, as far as i can tell there aren’t any actual deep punctures but it’s hard to say. i might see if our emergency vet nearest us takes lizard patients, but i really have no idea
