Just picked up my first beardie! (Progression thread)

She is a sandfire tiger leatherback, and she is as sweet as they get! The place I got her from is a local (well, as local as an hour away counts as) herpetology place! The owner is a herpetologist, so all of the animals are treated well. And they also do rescues :) She is my very first dragon, and I have spent the past two months researching them so I hope I do good! My basic set up: 20 gallon long tank, reptisun 10.0, 100 watt bulb with a dome that is ceramic on the inside, paper towel as substrate (until I can get some tile cut out for me), a climbing rock closer to the dome as a basking spot, a bowl for salad, and a screen top. Anything I am missing? (I have calcium and vitamin supplements.)
Here is a (blurry) picture of her! I haven't thought of a name yet though.

All fired up! I know she looks skinny, but she took a massive poop right before this photo so she is just empty until she eats again :) Which will be in like two minutes.

Oh wow, she's gorgeous!
I can see she's growing already!
Thank you! :)
She's getting so big so fast, and I've ordered her adult cage since she is outgrowing this one so fast!

She is getting so much lighter! Though she is fired up in these pics, I love the way her bars are coming in.

She's so pretty!!
Does she like it outside better now? My beardie Louis first hated it outside as well- he jumped off my arm and I had to chase him through the entire backyard because he was terrified! I only caught him because he hit his little head at the grill ouch...Then I started bringing him outside when he was a little older and now he absolutely loves chilling on my belly in the sun :D funny animals!

(Turns out, she is actually a he. Caught him humping my sock the other day, so I redid the flashlight trick and found he's a boy! Lol)
And he's still pretty skeptical about being outside. I have started putting out a hide so he can go in and out freely to get him more comfortable.
He loves his beard scratched though!

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. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
