[QUOTE="J4ckdaw-, post: 2034940, member: 117954"] Hi there 👋 Alright… so his hatch date was April? That would make him 7-8 months old, and at that age 7 inches is considered very small (for context, when my boy was 8 months old he was 21 inches; the range is generally between 12-18 inches I think) which may be a result of improper care previously, or it could be stunted genetics adopted from being bred at a reptile mill (depends on the store, Petsmart is the main offender for this). As for UVB, that won’t cut it. Go out and pick up either an Arcadia T5 lamp or a Reptisun 10.0 lamp, it should cover at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the tank but make sure you provide places to hide. A bearded dragon knows how much light they need, and will self regulate. Once you get your hands on one of those, I will flag the lighting guru of this forum. She can help with distance. What are your temperatures and how are you taking them? Generally speaking, the requirement would be between 105-110 degrees on the basking spot, but older dragons may prefer cooler temps such as 95-105 degrees. The temperatures should be measured using a digital probe thermometer, as opposed to a stick-on or a temp gun. It gives the most accurate readings. Everything else you mentioned is fine [/QUOTE]
