I acquired this bearded from a buddy of mine that was moving to a smaller place and wouldn't have room.

I just put in the tile today (was on paper towels) and added some decor.

I'm gonna replace the coil up bulb for a 10.0 t5 bulb this week.

Welcome to the forum :) please do get ur new bulb asap, i can tell you from personal experience that coil bulbs Are bad, he does look like he needs nails trimmed aswell, i like your setup, if you wann help him acclimate better , get one of your shirts and rub it on your clean body and put it where he sleeps, beardies love soft things. If you have any questions please do ask

If you dont know how much to cut just take the sharp tips off, have a little dish of flour/cornstarch just incase you cut too much and make her bleed, dip her toe in it to clot it, I personally use regular human clipers but ive seen people use cat clippers and say they work well.

I researched for about a week before I got her. I've raised African Leopard Geckos/Cresteds before but never Beardies. I am still learning and look forward to giving her a great life.

Currently researching building a 4x2x2 habitat for her!

I personally wouldn't use human nail clippers because they actually can damage the nail because they cut from above and below versus cat nail clippers cut in a circle. I got reptile nail clippers from Petco for like $9 and they work great. My beardie loves to watch my computer so when I clip her nails I'll turn on a video and wrap her up in a towel and she has no clue I am even trimming her nails. If you look at their nails they have a white part and then it becomes dark. Cut right up to the white part, but try to avoid the white part because that can hurt them :) Hope that helps!

The tank looks great -- when you get the UVB please post back on here so I can help you get it placed properly -- T5's can be placed on top of screen but the screen MUST BE WIDE HOLED -- if its a fine mesh it needs to go inside the tank --
