Hey Everyone!!!
I just got my Very First BD!!! I got him from the pet store 4 days ago and so far Evrything has been good! Here is my baby Chaz
They did not have any information for me about anything pertaining to him besides they put 5 crickets and 3 mealworms per dragon per day in the cage with them not ensuring they all eat to their fill (not okay). They called him a Fancy Bearded Dragon because of his color (he was in a cage with other dragons of different color and they were all called the same) I am not sure how old he is or anything he is about 6” maybe 7”. He is currently eating about 6 small crickets per feed (2xs per day) I always put in about 10 in his food dish and place him next to it. Once they jump out he doesn’t chase after them unless they come bck towards him. Is this normal?? I do not know if he is a male or female lol hopefully male. Not sure if he’s a hypo or not. He is kind of Orange! He is going to the bathroom fine 2-3xs a day!!! I have tried to give him a bath but he started to bob his head when he got by the water. It was about 85-90 f. Any ideas on how to get him to like baths??
His Current set up
-He is currently in a 20L glass tank
- As far as substrate I chose newspaper (is this bad?)
-He has a small food bowl and a water/ bathing bowl with very little water( so he won’t drown and keep humidity low)
- Stone hide on low temp side, stone branch in middle and a ceramic tree under basking light.
*** LIGHTING AND TEMPS***
-Currently using a Zilla SlimLine Dessert Fixture (50 UVB T8 Fluorescent Buld 18”) should I Chang this? I have seen many people use it but not sure if there is something better I could be using
-Basking Light: Exo Terra Day Light 100W. Is this okay to use or should I change to something else for Basking
I also have a 50w infrared light as well as a 50W night heat lamp light( not currently using these 2)
Warm side stays around 75f and basking spot stays about 101f
At night it says 74f. Are these temps okay for Chaz?
Is there any ideas you can give me to help my little baby stay healthy? Please let me know!
(Sorry it’s so long)
