I need help-

[Figgs&Syrax]

My bearded dragon was given to me 2 days ago, he is a small baby 6 and 1/2 inches, and he was eating perfectly fine.. but I might have overfed him- he won't eat, he pooped normally but only once, it's been two days since I overfed him and he won't eat, only strike. I'm starting to get worried and stuff, idk what to do please help.. I fed him a lot of mealworms and some Dubias. I also added greens, with carrots too his bowl dw

Chilean Taco is absolutely correct. That light is completely inadequate for a beardie. If you continue to use it you will do irreparable harm to your beardie.
Your beardie needs a long tube uvb such as an Arcadia pro t5 desert 12% or a ZooMed t5 high output 10.0
It also needs a separate basking light in a dome that reaches temps of 105 to 110. Without both, your beardie will not make it. It is absolutely critical that you fix this immediately.

Hey can I use this? Or no.. if not tell me the proper model and watts so I can order it..

No, those are horrible also.

Long tube like the fluorescent light in an office.

I'm sorry i didn't realize the one was basking, that one is ok but 75 watts may not becwarm enough. I'd start with a 100 watt.

For uvb you need either the zoomed t5 ho 10.0 ( nake sure it isn't a 5.0, thats what comes in the fixture so you'll need to get the 10.0 extra) or tge Arcadia pro t5 desert 12%

No, those are horrible also.

Ok so can you give me a care guide you recommend for a 6 and 1/2 inch (from nose to tip of tail) baby bearded dragon

I'll find a link for the zoomed also

This is the Zoomed, make sure the bulb is a 10.0 some hoods come with a 5.0 and it's not strong enough

Ok questions, ( bare with me I'm new ) does the zoomed already come with the light, ( do I have to buy it) can I get this Arcadia Arcadia Reptile Dragon Lamp | reptile Bulbs & Lamps | PetSmart
Does it need a hood?
And do I have to buy the zoomed and arcadia

 

[xp29]

Both fixtures come with a bulb, but be careful that the zoomed isn't the 5.0 bulb, if it is you'll need to get the 10.0 separately.
No need to buy both, just one brand is fine.
Also be careful the the Arcadia is the 12% and not the jungle dawn. The jungle dawn is wholely inadequate for a beardie also. If they don't have the desert 12% you can use the 14% but that is a very strong bulb and will need to be further away from your beardie than thec12%

And ask till you understand, there is no judgment here, we just want everyone and every beardie to have the best life together possible
