I've owned Muushu for 5 months now.
He has recently weighed in at roughly 105g and is about 30-31 inches (including his tail)
He is fed twice per day and I feed him feeder locusts and crickets however locusts would be more of my staple as he prefers them.
He has had an issue with MBD in the past so I dust all of his food with calcium every feeding
I do regular health checks on him such as the brightness of his eyes, checking the tip of his tail for dark or unnatural discoloration, check his limbs to see if they are normal (e.g they don't tremor ), I check how strong his tail is by gently putting pressure on the top (this does not hurt), I check if he is hydrated by gently pinching the "scruff" of his neck to see if the skin goes back into place instantly.
He is bathed regularly.
He poops every so often
His basking temp is around 35-38 degrees Celsius and his cool side is around 20-23 degrees Celsius
I use the white Arcadia UVA 75 Watt bulb
His bulb is on a timer so I set it to turn off for an hour and then come on again for another hour, at night the bulb comes on for an hour and is off for two.
He is frequently let out of his tank (at least once a day) to run and climb or simply to cuddle on the sofa or bed (which he does enjoy especially when he's winding down for the night)
His tank is large with lots of roaming space and hides/climbing areas
When he is out of his tank he enjoys to run and climb (an adventurous little stinker haha)
I'm just a beardie mama hoping I'm doing everything right, I have done and do alot of research even today just to be 100%, I want him to live his life to the full and be happy. Just really looking to see if I could improve anything or touch up on anything?
