Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 4
Is there anything else I should do differently since he won't have that strong UVB right away?
Get him outside if your temps are 65+ degrees- plastic tote direct sunlight 15 min or longer- please don't leave him supervise him-

Ok uvb needs to go inside the tank I can post things to hang w/ if you need them - distance should be 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor-
And this light is 100% okay to use until I get his T5 light fixture in the mail?? Should be here soon.

this is okay if this is the only basking light you have --- if you have a regular solid bright white bulb use that and shut that one off -- you can use the outside sun for UVB till the other one comes in - he will be fine a few days w/ out UVB --- its long periods of time you dont want to do that

I'm getting him from pet smart as soon as they get more in so they're just little guys. I'm not sure exactly
Before leaving the store make sure you take a good look. I was also originally purchasing mines from there but ended up buying online. But On here and another bearded dragon I’m on people who purchased from them and Petco have discovered issues. One owner beardie passed after 2days of having him home, another had tail rot, another was missing a toe. So all in all just be careful and examine well.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
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
