I've been researching bearded dragons and how to care for them for the past several months very in-depth, and i just recently was able to acquire one: A 2.5-3 year old male bearded dragon, roughly 18 inches in a 40 gallon tank. (note: working on getting bigger tank, this was what the previous owner had and sold to me with Leaf (his name)) Today, (4/26/16) is my 3rd day with him, or second full day. My problem is that I'm so worried and afraid to do anything wrong that i'm questioning my every action!! He is healthy (to my best knowledge) and is currently about to shed, and i leave his tank lights on from 7am-8pm, and feed him the same pattern the previous owner did, (veggies every day, 12 crickets every third day) and although my schedule doesn't allow me to bathe him daily, as his previous owner did, i am trying to bathe him tuesdays and fridays, although haven't bathed him yet today. The reason? Every time i go to pick him up, including last night, he gets very frantic and moves away from me and/or flattens out, and i get worried that he will bite me or i will scare him or pick him up wrong (i know to support his legs and of course belly-area when holding/picking up) so i just continue to talk to him and pet his back instead. Does he not like me? Am i doing something/everything wrong? Also i'm keeping him in my room, (only place in the house we have room) but i have to be in my room to get ready for bed (usually around 11, and on and off in there before then) and the lights will come on after he is sleeping, in addition to having to turn them on at 6:20-6:30am to wake up and get ready for school (i'm 16). Is this bad? Am i going to hurt his health somehow by doing this and continuously waking him? Also the past two days after i get home from school and he is in the exact same spot he was in when i left in the morning (yesterday in his hide, today the same spot/position in his basking area) And yesterday when i got home after the lights had been on for 12 hours (on a timer) he was flopped over/hanging and drooping on one of his logs in his basking area, and i got worried that that was a bad thing and turned the lights on for another hour. Also i'm worried the food i fed him was slightly too big, is he going to get an impaction? Also the lights give to me by the previous owner only heat up his basking area to about 89 F, do i need a new heat lamp? (EDIT: the thermometer i'm using is one of the stick-on ones from Petco that, well, sticks on the glass) What am i doing wrong? Am i doing something wrong? Someone please help me relieve my anxiety, i'm googling every little thing he does/i do and it takes up most all of my time.
