that kit is going to be your problem. they sucker the best of us in with it! the majority of the kit is worthless junk, for beardies anyway. that
UVB bulb is not adequate and can cause health problems. you want a long tube bulb and fixture. i'm guessing you have a 20 long tank, so that will need to be upgraded eventually too. for now you want a 24" bulb. i'd get an arcadia pro t-5. but there are a couple of other ones that are good.
@KarrieRee will have links for the options for you. you also need to get a couple digital probe thermometers to get accurate temps. temps and lighting can be tricky to get dialed in when you first start out, but once you have them where they need to be you don't have to mess with them much. this is the number one thing to a healthy dragon. they just will not thrive without them. the best you can do right now is forget everything the pet store told you and work with us to get things right.
questions that will be asked are:
- what UVB are you using and where is it placed? how far is it from your basking spot?
- how old is your dragon?
- what temperatures do you have on the cool side, hot side, and basking spot?
- what supplements are you giving and how often?
here's a
link for good food options. it is a little outdated though and kale has been found to be a great staple green. depending on age, babies need a lot of bugs, but should still be offered salads daily.
you'll want to find a vet, even if you don't need one right away. here's a
link to find reputable ones. if you are in a more remote area, enter a zip code to the closest big city to you. we have to drive 2 hours each way to get to ours, but it is totally worth it.
ok that's enough for now. i know this can be totally overwhelming. I HAVE BEEN THERE and this forum helped me save the life of sir henry of scales. don't give up! we all want what's best for you and your dragon. they are such awesome pets, i mean family members!
