Hello, good people of BD.org. I am completely new to the whole dragon scene and was wandering if some of you could answer a couple questions for me.
1 Whats morph hypo translucent etc mean when referring to types of bds
2 At what age do baby dragons usually start to shed and is it a full body shed or does it happen a little at a time?
3 i have read a lot about lighting while lurking on this boards and see that i need to get a repti sun 10 light. right now all i have is a basking lite for our new bearded dragon. my temps are good 105 basking 85 cool side, we have had him a week now and still no uvb bulb. hes eating good pooping good and seems active i am dusting with fluckers calcium with d3 1 time a day. but it will be atleast 3-5 more days until my bulb gets here. i know now he needs the uvb but could this be a critical mistake or should the baby be ok until it gets here?
4 what type of light fixture do i need for the bulb same as a aquarium hood light or is there a cheaper option?
5 is there any other supplements i should be using daily or weekly?
6 I ordered 1000 1 week old crickets off a site i seen a link for here and also 150 pheonix worrms my baby is about a 4-5 weeks old now is it ok to give him pws now sort of like a treat or just stay with crickets? i also been giving fresh greens mainly turnip and dandelion twice a day and ill mix a lil carrot in with them every now and than. he/she seems to prefer the dandolions over the turnips but really loves the crickets eats 15 or so each time hes feed.
im sure ill have more questions later but man i hate to type and thanks in advance with any help you could give me
