Final Questions before getting a beardie!

[Gyro]

Okay, so I think I have done enough research and my aid money came in today so I will get everything left to get and then my beardie! My final few questions are:

1. For a baby/juvenile beardie, would it be okay to give it two feedings of phoenixworms one day with a salad, then only one insect feeding the next day along with the salad and some of the wet nutrient pink food thing? Then on weekends give it treats like a meal of superworms and a fruit salad instead?

2. A Reptisun 10.0 T5 should be roughly 12" away from the basking spot, correct?

3. Is it okay to not leave a water bowl in the viv, and instead give a soak every other day? It's already pretty humid here in florida, even inside our house so I don't want the cage getting high humidity.

4. Do you think a 50w zoomed basking bulb would be enough to heat up a 4x2x2 birch plywood viv with a mesh top?

5. Would a het hypo, het trans leatherback need anything special in their care such as different temperatures or supplements?

6. And finally, would a young bearded dragon, (roughly 3 months old) be okay in a viv of that size? (4x2x2)

Thank you for everything you guys have contributed to my knowledge about these beautiful creatures. I will add a thread once I finish building my viv and get my baby in the mail! Again, thank you all!

1. Ditch the pink things and stick to insects and greens.
Superworms are too big for a baby, try wax worms for a treat but only a couple 1-2 times a week. Small amounts of fruit a couple times a week but not a whole fruit salad.

2. Yes

3. That's fine, most dragons won't drink from a dish anyways.

4. Depends on how warm your house it. It wouldn't be enough where I am but it may be OK for you.
Get your tank set up and run the lights so you can test the temps. Get them right before dragon comes home.

5. No

6. Yes
