I have a juvenile bearded dragon (I'm thinking between 4-6 months old, she's 8 or 9-ish inches long), and I'm looking for quick and preferably cheap options for improving her current enclosure; right now I don't think the tank gets warm enough as she doesn't defecate unless given a warm bath, but will eat a good amount daily.
Currently:
--40 gallon aquarium, screentop
--100 watt daylight heat bulb (lamp rated to 150 watts)
--Newspaper substrate
--Branch at an upward angle & a driftwood branch along tank bottom
--Roundish rock, big enough for her but would be small compared to an adult
--Half-log hide, again big enough for her but a little tight for an adult
I feed her twice a day, once being a salad of spinach or dark greens (she won't eat broccoli and isn't fond of strawberries or bananas) and again with a few crickets and/or a beheaded superworm, most of this coated with Fluker's Calcium/D3 supplement.
I know it's not good for her to be eating but not pooping on a regular basis. Feces looks normal. She'll go days without feces unless I give her a warm bath, which I do at least once every other day...how can I get her warmer/closer to light/whatever is necessary for proper digestion? Again, emphasis on the "preferably cheap" but I can invest some money.
