To the best of my knowledge he is between six to seven months old.destiny1998":bd509wg8 said:Hi. Congrats on your new family member. How old is he? Also need a more specific run down of the set up.
sue09":3kb2l7oc said:He needs his lights on for 10 hours winter and 12 hours summer,even if he goes to sleep leave them on. You need to get the UV asap as he needs it or will get sick. All babies have little fat tummies after eating so no dont change his feeding carry on as you are.
I'm sure one of the more experienced can give you even more info when they come on . Best wishes with your new dragon.
A ceramic bulb. Gotchya. Made a note of it.sue09":qlmjpa9y said:Please dont use a red bulb,beardies can see it and it disturbs their sleep,use a ceramic bulb for night heat. As long as it doesnt go below 65 he should be ok.

A BD who has an undisturbed sleep, you will find in the morning, in the same spot, generally in the same position as it was in the night before. If your BD is moving a couple of times a night, consistently, your light is very likely bothering it. Lights of ANY color in the enclosure at night will bother most BDs sleep. A CHE is the only way to go if night heat is needed & ONLY needed if the ambient room temps drop below the mid to low 60sF at night.maci":2cpmrbk5 said:I also use a moonlight(blue) bulb at night in the winter for heat, a little cheaper than a CHE, and my beardie does not mind it. He actually sleeps within 6" of it all night long, moving around only once or twice.
