Beardeds are not like monitors, and I would never suggest for babies(especially multiples) to get housed with a retes stack type setup. Baby dragons thrive when its kept simple. Limited choices. Bright, warm, and simple! Eat, poop, eat sleep. Get them going under these conditions and you are building the foundation for a dragon that wants to eat, wants to bask, and generally speaking looks better.



Robyn, I can appreciate your willingness to try to educate and help. Having said that I don't think your direction, is the right direction for raising/keeping dragons. I think it may work for adults under the right circumstances, but anything else I don't see any reason or use for it.



Im willing to put my money where my mouth is. My next clutch of babies, Im willing to make two setups, place 3 dragons in each setup and observe. One setup will be like you want, with a 130 hotspot and a retes type stack, and the other my setup, and we can see which dragons do better.



No uvb, retes stack, 130 basking at top of stack....and do you want dirt for substrate also???



Actually thinking about it, im a little worried about even trying it, seems like a death sentence.
