Do you cook the squash, or feed it raw?

Thanks Cooper! Ultimately we will go larger, but right now that's what fits in my daughter's room. We don't want to stick him somewhere where he won't have the interaction & face/out of tank time. We'll post pics once we get the new setup complete.

So we're upgrading my daughter's beardie's viv to a 40br (36x18x16). He (Falcor) is about 10mos old, and we probably should have done it before now. My question is regarding the length of the UVB fixture. Since both of the options I'm considering have good reflectors, do I need the UVB to be...

An update on Falcor...he's getting better. I tried the pumpkin and applesauce but really wasn't interested. He took just a few licks and then shied away from it. So this afternoon, I hand fed him two blueberries, and then my daughter and I gave him a bath hoping that he would drink a little...
