I feed my dragon mustard greens, collard greens, during the week. On the weekends I feed him crickets and superworms. One weekend crickets, the next superworms. Since the greens I feed him are high in calcium, the question is, do I still have to dust the crickets and worms with the cal-d3 supplement? He has uvb lighting, a reptison 10.0 fluoresent bulb, and a exoterra solar glo 160w bulb for a basking spot, in a 75 gallon tank.From what I read he gets his vitamin d from the uvb rays, which he has, and the calcium he is getting from the greens. Don't wanna "overdose". Thanks!

Hi, first of all, how old is your beardie?
You actually only need to use one light that produces UVB, either the Solar Glo or the Repti-Sun, having both in the tank is really too much. You would need to continue to dust with calcium even though you are feeding greens high in calcium. But, since you're using a MVB, you can use calcium WITHOUT D3. If you were just using the Repti-Sun, then you would dust with calcium with D3.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
