Hi everyone. We just purchased our new baby yesterday. We have never owned a beardie before but my daughter saw one in the pet store and fell in love with the little guy. We didn't get a lot of great info from the store we purchased him from so we have tons of questions.
We bought a 20 gallon tank with carpet. We have a cave, a stick for laying on and a water dish (necessary?) We purchased a 100w infrared spot lamp for night and 100w for day. (too strong??) What should the temp of the tank be during the day? How small do I need to cut up the greens? What supplements are necessary? How and when do I give him a bath? How often should I give him crickets? Should I give him mealworms? What about pellets? (guy at pet store said they don't like the pellets) Also I keep reading about calcium. How do they get their calcium? Thanks so much everyone!
