Yeah that sounds pretty good. How late do the lights stay on? You want to be sure there is some basking time after dinner. You will eventually want to add some more variety to the salads but if it isn't being eaten much yet then collards and peppers are fine for now.

If you're feeding at 6 I'd let them run till 8 or move the feeding time back to 5. You can bump it up to a 14hr daylight schedule with no problem too.

Invest in a domestic inline plug in light timer.

12 hours of heat and UV and light is NOT enough. I suggest timing the basking & UV lights to come on at 6am, and timing off at 9 - 10pm.
I run 16 hr year round for all my lizards , except Fluffy (the rescued water skink) who gets access to UV from 6am - 2pm.

The feeding schedule will work well then. You need to allow the little dragon at least 2 hours after the last meal of the day to stay warm and digest the food.
You'll find the little dragon nice and warm and starving hungry when you give it breakfast too.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
