Just picked up my first beardie! (Progression thread)

Not open for further replies.
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.

Hey! I've got a few pages on how he is doing, I actually mis-sexed him when I got him and thought he was a girl, haha. He is doing very well though :) Almost two years old!

So Sparx is still doing well :) He would rather come out and explore than eat his bok choy. Haha

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
