I personally am not a fan of the reptile carpet. I know some people like it, but IMO it is a breeding ground for bacteria, it doesn't allow the beardie to burrow or hide if he wants to, his nails can get caught in it and if he dumps water it stays damp. I am a fan of using a deep layer of Sani Chips or a dirt mix, my beardie loves to dig burry himself at night. I also saw that wire inside the cage, I assume its for a thermometer or Tstat? I would some how fix it down so the lil man can't get tangled in it. Congrats on the new pet, they are fun little lizards.
