[Pogie]

Did that too.

The first few days I had Pogie, I even got up 2-3 times a night and "woke" her to see that she was still OK and breathing LOL

Just like with a new baby, you feel stupid and worry about everything. But like with babies, I suppose it will fade and we will all settle and become more confident. I'm slowly getting there, but doo still freak out sometimes when she does something new or stops doing something.

Thank goodness for all on this forum, theyre always there to calm your nerves.

Looking good. You will worry less once you have the temps and set up good. I spend a lot of time looking at the vivs when I first brought mine home too. I still spend a huge amount of time watching my baby who is more then healthy now.

Jags...hate to be a stick in the mud but....it is great that you got a new white bulb. You will find that it works better and cheaper, however it really shouldn't be hanging it he tank like that. He can burn himself. If you check out the pic I posted my heat light is in a dome on top of the mesh cover of the tank. No way for him to get at it. If your gut even tries to lift up, he is going to hit it and burn himself. Also, a 60 watt is good, but I bet where your beardie is sitting it is way to hot because if where the bulb is. Can you get a dome and put the bulb in that and put it on top of the tank or is it set up for the bulb to set in it?

BTW....Fabulous job on the tiles.

its set like that its a wooden frame, i burnt myself on the bulb before , iv seen the ones with the wire mesh and the dome light on...maybe we could drill a hole in the top and get a dome one to fit....will have to get my brother to do it...chris is crap with any diy!!

Yeah, I would definitely try to modify it. Maybe if you take that bulb out of that spot an make the hole a little bigger like you said. Then put a piece of metal mesh on that spot. You can then get a dome and put the bulb in that. If you burned yourself, think of what it could do to your guy. For now, if you can I would definitely lower that basking spot. It looks like you have it propped up against the rock. If so, just take the rock and move it a bit and bring down that spot. It is probably way too hot there anyways for him.
