Reptile & Amphibian Forums

hey ppl. im new to the forum. currently i have a 1.5 yr old male beardie spike..and im getting a brb at a show on saturday. i just want to make sure my setup is ok.

i have a tub, 36x16x14 with some small holes drilled on the front and back for some airflow. papertowels with some moss for substrate. 2 humid hides, 1 normal hide under CHE. 60w CHE on thermostat for heat. large water bowl. does this sound good?

Just providing my thoughts. Needs a CRB.

Sounds more or less reasonable, assuming you can maintain temps and humidity. I would rather see some sort of UTH as CHE's tend to dry things out. Also, while some airflow is good, too much will dry things out. You can monitor and close off holes if too much ventilation.
