I'm just curious about what all the beardie breeders are keeping their babies in to grow out and when they hatch. It would be awesome if you could post some pics!!
 
most just do tubs with paper towel on the bottom with the repti-sun bulb going across the top and a light for basking. extremely simple and clean.
 
I use 4 ft cages with 10.0 UVB,basking light and a small wattage night glow heat light that cycles on when the basking and uvb cycle off.

My setup is almost identical to what is listed above me. It's a very simple setup that's easy to clean as well as monitor the babies/juveniles.

This was my first year having many clutches( last two years I only had a couple of clutches) so I needed something better than just a couple of tanks. I bought an industrial shelving unit and built racks into it. I wired my light fixtures to the particle board. I bought identical totes to house the babies. During the first week/two weeks after hatching, I used paper towel to hold more moisture. After that, I used no substrate and found it easier to clean/feed that way( nothing can hide). I use a spray bottle to mist a couple times a day and give frequent baths. I can also put a 75 gallon tank on the shelving unit bottom.

I used a digital mini fridge this year to try out, I wish they were more spacious but had a really great hatch rate with it( it did fluctuate 3-4 degrees from top to bottom though). Vermiculite is the medium I use for the eggs.

Next year I plan on trying to make any improvements I can think of :)

A bare bottom or paper towels is probably the safest way to avoid impaction and it works well with spraying the sides of the tub to give them a drink.:)
