No I have the coil it came with the habitat. But it has been in there for 2 months. I was doing the wrong thing before giving him the greens. It was my fault I was giving him a pet store veggie mix that I was adding water to but I found out that was really bad for him it was supposed to be only given to him as a snack and only 2 to 3 times a week. So this was the first time I have purchased fresh vegetables for him. I am hoping I didn’t harm him, but could this be the reason he ate so much
Ok so lets get rid of the coil ---- this is a big problem--- please get a good UVB do I need to post the other two UVB's recommended? Probably - he liked the better taste of the fresh vegetables but you must change the UVB out -- your dragon is not able to utilize the calcium your feeding him which is going to cause all kinds of health issues
I will pickup a bulb this weekend. Also I got a new thing for him to try today, silkworms I ordered something called a can o worms from zoo med. i bought them to make sure his body can tolerate it. Is it ok to try them with him? The ingredients say they are farm raised silk worms. nothing else is in them. They are sealed in small 1.2 oz containers and say to refrigerate after opening.

Canned insects or any type of canned stuff frozen or dried are not very good- you can get live silk worms from here www.reptilianarts.com - the cups come with food- what bulb are you picking up? You need the whole fixture as well
yes you can try them-- depending on amount if its the only staple or adding to another staple --- I fed dubias and silk worms together as a variety w/ Blaze as a juvenile-- usually 3-4 on the salads and then dubias -- they are a better feeder and more filling --- w/ the crickets feed what you normally feed - if you want to switch to dubias I can post some websites to get them --- are you getting a fixture that I posted
When I got him at the pet store they told me he was about 9 months. Is that possible? They told me that they never know exactly how old they are when they get them. Do I have to cook squash to give it to him or is it safe to just cut it into reasonable pieces like a julien cut?
