how big should my 2 month old bearded dragon be, I'm not really sure of his age, I've had him for about 4 weeks, he is about 6 inches long nose to tail, i have the uvb light, my heat is at about 105 degrees at the basking spot, and about 85 on the cool side, he has a hiding place and is in a 40 gallon breeder tank, hes eating properly, about 10-15 crickets at a time twice a day, and he has a hiding place that he never goes into, im not sure if im doing anything wrong, can someone help me out, i also have a fresh dish of greens and veggies everyday, they consist of either kale greens or mustard greens, zucchini and carrots, and the occasional strawberry
Well its all about how u treat them and how u take care of them some dragons grow slow and others very fast but it sounds like u have everything in order but do u give calci or vit supplements
dont give kale or carrots very often kale binds calcium and carrots have too much viramin a
he also should be eating more crickets than that ideally
basking should be 110-115 for a baby
how close can he get to his basking and uvb light?
