Sounds like things are heading in the right direction, but I agree with AHBD, you need to get a 75 watt basking bulb ASAP, he needs to be able to get very close to the UVB light when he wants to, so the top of his basking branch needs to hit 110 degrees maximum. 123 degrees is lethal. You can seriously just use a regular, bright white 75 watt lightbulb or halogen indoor flood bulb, no need for an expensive, reptile specialty basking bulb at all.
I've been feeding BSFL/Phoenix Worms/Calciworms/Retiworms/Nutrigrubs (all the same thing) as my staple for years with excellent results, they contain the highest amount of natural calcium of any live feeder insect, and even a baby can eat size larges because they are soft (FYI, no wax worms either, except for an occasional treat, maybe a couple a week, they are nothing but fat and cause fatty liver disease). You will save a large fortune if you order your feeders online, no matter what you decide to feed, because from hatching to a year old they should get 2 feeding sessions every day, each lasting 10-15 minutes where you allow them to eat as many live bugs as they want. This is extremely important during their first year of life, especially up to 8 months old, they are doing most all of their growing and developing during this time period, and in the wild they eat until they are full. That's the other nice thing about feeding BSFL, they are much more filling than crickets. Dubia roaches are filling too, but you can't leave them in their tank either, so the BSFL are your best bet.
I order mine in bulk from http://www.symtonbsf.com or from http://www.dubiaroaches.com The second place is slightly cheaper I believe, but you can order 500 size large BSF (don't bother with small or medium, even a very small baby can eat large BSFL, the sizes aren't that different from each other, but the larges are a bit more filling) for around $12 I believe...to put this into perspective, Petco sells Calciworms (same thing, different brand name), 25 in a container and they are all different sizes from tiny to medium, very rarely do you get any large ones, and this crappy little container of 25 costs $4.25!!! Or you can order 500 at a time for $12...
BSFL keep for about a month before they turn, and you always feed the darkest colored ones first because they are the closest to turning, and they contain the most calcium. Figure your baby, once the temps and lights get worked out, will probably eat between 10-15 large BSFL each 10-15 minute feeding session, twice a day, so between 20 and 30 large a day. So 1,000 a month will feed him completely for between $17-$23 per $1,000 depending on what site you buy them from. But if you're going to supplement with crickets or dubias when you're home, 500 a month will do. I recommend buying all your feeders online, again, you'll save a metric ton of money, whether you're talking about crickets, dubias, BSFL, doesn't matter. I think if you check out www.dubiaroaches.com they have the best prices on all feeders, definitely on the BSFL and dubias.
