Is my enclosure suitable for a baby beardie.

[mindymarie]

I have a Repti-Sun 10.0 36" UVB light, a 150w basking bulb. Repti hammock, climbing log, hide out and food and water dish as pictured. I also would like to know if my cricket cage is suitable. Please make any suggestions as I'm bringing my baby beardie home Friday. It is a 55 gallon tank sectioned off half way with plexiglass. I don't know accurate temperatures till I get my digital thermometer tomorrow in the mail. I am also getting a back ground for the tank Friday and I am using tiles for a substrate.

Couldn't see the pictures, but it sounds good to me. You just might have to test/adjust the heat bulbs after you get your thermometer.

I can only get my basing temperature to 103.5 average. It just raised up to 103.8 is this alright or do I need to try to raise it more

"The temperature for this basking spot you created should be around 105f to 110f for babies, 105f for juvenites and can be around 95f to 102f for adults. Although I don't recommend any temps above 110f, within a few degrees of these basking temps will be sufficient."
