Considering a CWD

I am considering adding a Chinese Water Dragon to our collection. This would be a combo birthday/Christmas present from my GF, so not until mid-late Fall would I have the cage and system. I am currently looking at the Animal Plastics A20 arboreal cage. It is 48" x 24" x 36" high. I know a fully grown adult would need a larger cage, but I hope that this would work for a year or two for a single dragon. Like I said, I am in the process of researching and planning this out.

Anyone have any suggestions with regards to caging or set up?

Also, I know that most, if not all CWD's are imported from Asia, typically Vietnam. Because they are wild caught parasites can be a worry. I do have access to a qualified herp vet, so I can have a fecal done if need be. Then there is the issue of where to purchase it from. My GF works for Petsmart, and I have worked for Petsmart in the past and am not overly thrilled with the idea of buying one from them, but I am not sure where else to get one. I don't know if they are seasonably available or available year round. Can anyone shed some light on this?

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
