I have an 18month-ish beardie.
I know I should feed veggies daily, but do I still feed insects daily like when he was younger?
Maybe 10 medium roaches and a hornworm or a couple superworms per day?

Hello,

At his age, he is essentially an adult, it is recommended to slowly decrease their protein
levels at or around a year or shortly thereafter when their growth slows down. I usually
recommend around 40-50 insects weekly (not set in stone) so you can focus on a higher
ratio of greens instead.
Is he eating greens at all?
So, overall, you just need to cut back a little bit but definitely not too quickly, just slowly.

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

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
