Hi everyone, I am quite new to the Beardie front and have just purchased 2 little babies... Well I say babies but they are about 7 - 8 weeks old and full of energy!
I have been told by my reptile supplier to leave their heat light on all the time, therefore keeping the vivarium temperature at a constant; 100 - 105f... and turn the UV off at night... i work on a 14/10 night/day..... I have searched and researched on line and most advice i have been given says that temperatures should be reduced to replicate their natural night time conditions i.e 60f (which is about 15 -16 degrees celsius).
Also I am unsure of what kind of greens are good and whether they need to be par cooked before feeding them, for example if i had curly cabbage does it need to be softened first?
Please help me..I feel like a little lizard in a big desert! :
Many Thanx x
