Hello,
The D3 or no D3 is a huge controversy. I think, using a T5, he wont need D3 every day since he
will be able to synthesize a good amount of natural D3 from UVB exposure. You can however,
supplement it a few times a week since he is a youngster then the other few days just use a
plain calcium without D3. Be sure that you only give calcium 1 time per day & not at every
single feeding so it wont overdose him.
The distance of the lighting sounds good & the picture of the tank looks nice & bright, also. A
distance of 10 or so inches for the T5 is great, so if you have reflective backing on the light
fixture then he is getting plenty.
How are the temperatures doing, did you leave the screen top on now?
He is a great looking little dragon! Let us know how he is doing.
