my girlfriend got me a new baby bearded dragon for my birthday and a set up for him to start off in. I just had a few questions, i want him to be able to grow up as healthy and as big as he can be.
The first time i fed him he ate probably 8 or so crickets in 10 minutes and i decorated his cage with a hide spot and a big wide wood ledge for him to climb up to the lights. i have a exoterra reptiglo 10.0 and a 25w reptile bulb (white with bearded dragon on box).
a while later within the next day or two i noticed what looked like throw up cricket in his cage a few times, is this because he ate too much or because he isnt getting as hot as he needs to be? it got me a little concerned.
Also he seems to be spending all his time all the way up the branch directly under the light, and i mean like all day all night up there, this also has me worried a little bit.
Do i need a stronger heat source? or is the 25w ok until i increase the tank size?
I was just looking for some advice as to what i need to do to make sure he grows up the best he can and if any of these issues stated is a problem. any advice would be appreciated. below are some pictures.
