On an unrelated note, his baby beardie stink-eye in that pic is hilarious. ?

http://www.reptilianarts.com they have nice silk worms - if you order in bulk like 50 they come small you will need to order food to feed daily and clean containers out as well
http://www.coastilsilkworms.com
http://www.mulberryfarms.com they are high on shipping
http://www.symptonbsf.com they have good BSFL

I have a slated ceramic tile in my two tanks and it does not get hot--
The not eating veggies is normal - you need to start using your BSFL as lures to the salad bowl and yes you will need a glass or ceramic bowl so they cant get out -- feed first thing in the morning use as many as you want and maybe add some small super worms or some small horn worms - something that will give movement to the salad - it will lure him to that bowl -- then after about an hr or so of him eating from the dish take a little salad out add your dubias to the dish and he will still get salad along w/ his protein - butter worms work good too but every one is out at this time - you can also use some small silk worms they are another good staple feeder - I have websites if you need them

He technically should be fine, just eating 4-5, no problem. We usually don't recommend
feeding mealworms as a staple especially to youngsters due to their fat content & harder
shell. Though, they have been unjustly demonized though, as they can be used as a
rotational feeder insect when they are a little bigger.
Just give some warm baths & let him swim around a little but if he is going to the bathroom
regularly then he should be fine.
