I purchased a bearded dragon from a pet store recently for my husband for Christmas. We are very excited and very very looking forward to seeing how this lizard grows up to be part of the family. However too much disappointment I have to admit that I followed pet store advice which is just the worst thing you can do. However it seems like his baby is doing great and we're hoping that by following this forum any advice for anything that we might need to be addressed. My main question is I know that is living quarters are fine currently except he is missing his UV light. How long can he be without a UV we are using calcium powder for his cricket but still worry about lack of uvb. Thanks to this website we are able to learn sooo much.
It has no name until we know if its a girl or boy.
The pet store said it was four to six weeks old.
They call it a fancy beardie but it looks like a possible sand fire mix.
It is about six inches head to end of tail. Eats close to ten small crickets a day.
Prefers water drops on glass to water bowl.
It seems it started to shed a little since it rubs rubs face on rock. And even eye bulgded today.
Sometimes waves. Loves to bask
We have a. laser thermometer reads 105 -110 on the rock , 82-85 mid tank, and about 75 on the cool side. It doesn't get colder that about 70 or 72 at night.
Loves to hang off basking rock.
Was easy to handle first few days. Now a little skidesh we didn't realize he should chill out few days to few feeks before messing to much with him.
Temporarily using paper bags as substrate.
Can't get new subtrate or uvb for eight days more. Has been without uv for five days. Worried about that.
