Welcome to the forum! Draco is still so tiny =). Please let us know if you have any specific questions about his care. I suggest reading through the Newbies Guides on the right side along with the Intro to UV Lighting. If you would like to provide details about your current setup I'll be glad to review it and make sure everything is just right for Draco.
He is definitely still tiny! We measured him last night and he was only 5 inches!
Right now he is in a 20-gallon terrarium with reptile carpet. We are using a Reptisun 10.0 T5 light that is on top of the enclosure. His basking rock is around 106-110* and his cool side is in the 80s during the day. So far it hasn't dropped below 75* at night. His lights are on for 14 hours (6a-8p) every day. The humidity ranges from 30-44%.
He is has been eating about 8-12 crickets a day and ate a piece of his greens for the first time today (he hasn't been too interested in trying them). He also had his first phoenix worm today, but only tried 1. We are dusting his food with calcium every day and he has had multivitamins twice since we brought him home (5 days ago). He doesn't seem to drink from his water dish but does lick the water when we spray him.
He doesn't have much to climb on yet, but we are working on getting him some new things. He loves his rock and hammock. He also enjoys being held by us and doesn't seem too skittish. My only concern is that he isn't eating too much. He eats about 4 insects and loses interest. For his midday meal today he only ate 1 cricket and 1 phoenix worm. We continue offering food for about 15 minutes but he just wants to bask or hide.
