Best thing about this video is the thermostat tips. Very little people cover positioning and dialing in the temps. Great video.
Appreciate that 😁
Thanks for the videos. Keep doing ur thing, very helpful! 🙌🏼
Happy that I was helpful!
Yes, your videos help me a lot! Don't have a dragon yet because I'm trying to learn everything I can before I get one. Peace!
Happy to help! That’s the way to do it!
You have really helped me on my journey with every thing cage٫food 😊😊
Buying my first bearded dragon... I own pythons a fire skink, pacman frogs and a leopard gecko... But a bearded dragon makes me nervous.. Lol.... This video was helpful appreciate it brother
Happy to help! If you have all those this will be a breeze
Another great video!
Thank you so much!
Thank you! Your video was helpful. I’m preparing to purchase a Rankins Dragon.
Happy to help! Rankins dragons are awesome!
I got my dragon a little over a week ago and have been struggling with temps. I realized my wattage was too low. Had that problem with my ball python too. Going to pick up a better bulb today. Your videos have been helpful when I was doing research.
Happy to help! Yes I plan on coming out with a video on wattage soon!
thank you so much!
Happy to help
I'm getting my first beardie soon... I've ordered a 4' x 2' x 2' viperia black pvc tank with a mesh lid, the shop I'm getting the beardie from said they don't recommend pvc and they said I should have gotten wood but ive already bought it due to it being highly recommended. They'll still allow me to get the beardie but I have to sign a form which is slightly worrying, just searching for advice as you seem to be the best person to ask!
I'm adding a sunshine fire morph to my collection, and I can't wait to get her this was helpful❤
Congratulations 🍾
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thank you so much 🥹🙏
Thank you so much my bearded dragon is gonna be really happy with his new home
Happy to hear that!
Do you recommend we bake the top soil and sand mixture? I’ve seen others do it. But unsure! Thanks
Thank you, the video is very helpful. What is the background that you use in the tank? Looks really good
Happy to help so they are just foam backgrounds painted and sealed with drylock. They do sell them at petsmart I also have. A video on me making homemade ones in my diy 120 gallon build
Hey another great video , I have a question though, I had bought the zoo med dual deep dome light and I was wondering instead of returning it because of the low uvb , can I just take off the uvb bulb it came with and add another heatlamp so it can be just a basking light ? Or do you think it will be too much heat for my beardie ? The basking bulb it came with is 100 w and the other one I want to add is 125 w heating bulb
Oh yeah that dual basking dome is a great lamp just the uvb that’s bad if you use two bulbs you may actually have to drop wattages if it gets hot but it works
How often do you change the substrate? Is it ok to use this substrate without going bioactive?
When you add this kind of substrate, how do you clean it? Seems like it would be hard to even find poop.
Where did you get the tiles that you used to cover the glass??
is it okay if i dont use stone desert, so like only topsoil and sand?
100% that’s totally fine
Can you use the dirt for a small bearded dragon,
Yes
Do you bake the substrate before using it in the enclosure?
I do not. Kills beneficial bacteria
I am having problems either with my temps or a sick juvenile dragon. He eats and poops great but is sleeping a lot and not basking much. I’m not sure if it’s too cold. What should I aim for on the basking surface and ambient temps? My probe is hanging down about 2” above the slate. Should I move it? He lays all over the slate is why I have it hanging. I’m using a Dubia 120 gal enclosure, reptisun uvb and 100W basking bulb.
With the 4x2x2s I have to use two 100 watt heat bulbs for screen top enclosures. It’s harder to hit the right basking temps. 103-110f
What should the cool side be?@@ChiefSweetsUniverse
Hi! I’ve been planning/preparing on getting a bearded dragon and your videos helped me a lot! I just have a question, I am from the Philippines and it is very hot here even in cold seasons. How long do you think i should keep the heat lamp and UVB lamp running if i am not basking the beardie under the sun everyday and should i keep my LED light on for 12 hours? Thank youuu
You'll want the heat and uvb available for 12 hours a day, and a cool side without uv for the dragon to hide in when they've had enough of the hot side. You may need a weaker basking light because your ambient temps will be higher, but you'll still need uv based on distance from the lamp to the dragons back. I live in Florida so it's quite warm most of the year, but we keep the ac running so the house stays cool and I use a 150w basking lamp all day.
If he is not getting direct sun exposure you will have to have uvb on most of the day. Now heat lamps were really intended to get them to proper temps so if you have a heat lamp on with the thermostat set to 110f then the heat lamp will only turn on to get the basking spot to sufficient temps. That way you don’t have to worry about it so much
@@laethe230thank you for the helpful guidance. I appreciate it
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thank you for the helpful guidance. I appreciate it
For a 4x2x2 tank, what light bulbs/heat lamps are u using to achieve correct basking temperature in a large tank?
It depends on what room temp is my house is pretty cold where I keep my dragons so two 100 watt basking bulbs but in my reptile room I would do two 50 watt bulbs because the air temp is so much hotter I could achieve 110f just with two 50 watt bulbs in a 4x2x2
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse me and my bearded dragon thank you!
Got a 4 months old bearded dragon. Thanks for sharing. Planning to do similar when it got bigger. May I know how you clean the poop?
I just grab the poop with a doggy bag and all the dirt that is touching the poop as well throw it away.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverseThanks for the tips. How long will it takes to do a deep clean and replace the substrate?
@@3dwin014 I do mine once a year
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse This seems very simple and on budget. Thank you for this guide.
What is the gal? Also what is the best size tank?
The gal is a het trans. Best size enclosure is a 4x2x2
Where do you get the rocly backround from? Or was it something you made?
I made it
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse how so? Any quick tips!? Thanks it would be appreciated
Hi! Quick question, does the top soil need to be " cooked" to sterilize it, or can it be used straight from the bag ( when mixing it with sand)?
You can use it straight from the bag!
@ChiefSweetsUniverse Thanks Chief!!👍
I adopted a beardie and set everything up, the basking bulb will NOT go over 83 degrees Fahrenheit no matter what I do. What is happening? I’ve been through 3 bulbs now trying to remedy this 🥺
Could you add links to everything
is peet moss no longer okay to use? i refrenced one of ur substrate videos for my bds substrate and u had said peet moss soil and sand but in this video no peet moss? jw!
Oh no I use it just sometimes some people can’t find it so I leave it out
For a baby bearded dragon, can I get a 60 gallon? I know people get 40 but I’d rather just get one tank that will last
I'm still confused on the thermostat
What tempter gauges do you use? All of the ones I have tried are terrible and inaccurate.
I use govee digital thermometer hydrometers
I've heard those are good. They are hard to get here@@ChiefSweetsUniverse
How often do you need to clean/replace the substrate?
You can replace it once a year but mine is going on two still great
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse wow really? is that with or without a clean up crew? do you need to spot clean waste when you see it?
@@Nova700et2 Definity clean waste when you see it but even without the cleanup crew I have one tank I have not replaced in a year I just add more soil in because when I grab the waste I grab all the substrate around it to and throw it away!
@cheifsweetsuniverse where can I get the uv light from?
