I have a bearded dragon too and his name is spike and he is 8 years old. I’m a first time bearded dragon owner and I’m 16 years old. I’m extremely busy with school too. Peace Me and spike View attachment 69141

Please get Spike into a larger tank -- this tank is too small --- he also needs a long tube fixture for a UVB - like a Zoo Med 24" fixture w/ a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulb or a Arcadia Pro T 5 w/ a 12% bulb - your going to need this in a larger tank even a 40 gallon w/ a height of at least 18" -- Arcadia ProT5 12% UVB Bulb With Hood

Zoo Med ReptiSun T5 HO Hood

this will come w / a 5.0 bulb it can be used on the tank you have now but the distance is 6-8 inches directly over the basking decor w/ NO obstruction/NO screen they are not strong enough to go thru screen --- the T 5 and the 12% can be used on top of a screen that is WIDE holed and fine screen it needs to go inside the tank -I would look for a tank on Craigslist or FB marketplace -- see if you can find one w/ front doors -- if you get one please disinfect real good before use w/ some WipeOut from Zoo Med or Rescue or F 10 this stuff is good its a concentrate and last for a long time -- are you using digital probe thermometers to get actual surface basking temps -- this is another crucial thing for the dragon

Hey Karrie, try to be a little more welcoming to this nice young person !

Spike looks pretty big, how long have you had him ? Maybe you could start a thread about Spike and tell some more about him.

I had him since after spring break and my teacher, mrs Taflinger, said THIS: you can keep him if you don’t grunt
