UPDATE! So we shortened the name to zubaia (queen of dragons) and we call her zuzu. She is doing a really great job of eating. We have crickets and wax worms and some dubia roaches. She just shedded again and is working on that. She has started letting us pick her up a little bit in the cage...

Oh rats! We were wanting an extra spiky one, I just thought he would like grow more spikes or something. I just googled it and that means he won't have back spikes right? I did notice the ones from the local breeder looked different but I thought it was the age or something. Oh well, it's better...

I would be grateful for help on the lights. I bought the one you suggested and it arrived today. I took a pic of the top screen too.

*Update 12/29 Thanks a million everyone!! He is doing soooo great. Eating a ton. It took several days but now seems to have good energy. Running about hunting things and also will take food straight from my kids. The new fixture and bulb comes tomorrow. My vet friend got back from holiday and...

This is his cage. I could not find a fixture/hood type light. But reading your post we have all the correct bulbs and temps and food. We had to go to three stores tonight to get him set up.

Hi. My family had decided to get a bearded dragon for my daughter next month but a family member called to say that a local pet shop had been shut down and there was a few that needed rescuing. When I went there was a couple adults that were clearly needing advanced care, there was a baby that...
