i noticed latley my perdie is diggin in his sand but it is only a inch deep should i make it deeper if so how much and woulnt the whole just colapce? or is he just digging to get close to heat bad i mean she

Totally my opinion....
All my lizards dig, not just the beardies. I am not a dragon, I don't know why they do it but it looks fun. Maybe give her a little more sand.

They also scratch on the side of the glass. Yah, like you're gonna get through there you goof....

It's probably to get to the heat pad, I would take the heat pad off. One day your dragon i sgoing to make it down under the sand and will sit on the heat pad because it feels good, but they will also burn themselves. A baskng lamp should be good. An dif it's for night time, get one of those blue night bulbs.

Hi
i would not use a heatpad.
only when the night r cooler then 50-55
i only would use a spot togheter with a uvblights.
a good digital tempreader with a extra probe so you can measure the baskingspot wel.
110-105.
cool side round the 80.
make the sand 2,3 inches deep.
use sand that not contain silica r other sharp partikels.
i uise sand thats abit rounded in shape.
its rivir sand .
if you wanan build with some bricks and a flagstone a ramp r cave then becarful you place every thing direct on the bottom so they cant dig underneath.
