Oh, I am not that crazy.
I didn't go on PetSmart's advice because often they don't know what they are talking about. I did a lot of research before I got her. Right now, she is super tiny and is in a 10 gallon which will be upgraded in size in a few weeks. She has a ceramic heat emitter for the night time. For her basking and UVB, I use a mercury vapor bulb--in my research, they said that mercury vapor bulbs are great for basking temp and UVB. I will have to find the packaging to get the wattage, but I believe it is 150 watt for the mercury vapor and 100 for the ceramic heat emitter. I have a mesh wire lid on the container which I often leave off so she can get the full "basking power" of the bulb.
Her bulb is suspended on a lamp like thing. I will post a link to it.
She eats greens and crickets dusted with calcium. Occasionally she will get a little carrot or sweet potato (super small amounts). I also got a dubia colony yesterday in the mail and I have started breeding them so that I won't have to keep buying feeders. I know it takes a couple of months for the colony to get started.
I am curious about her
bathing though...I babysat for an adult male dragon and he would soak in a plastic tub. She won't soak. I got her a small container for her size and put some dechlorinated water in it. She kept hoping out. I've been misting her and hoping the veggies I give her give her enough water because she won't stay still to
bathe.
