New Here, w/ a Juvenile Beardy

[batman414]

I just got my beardie about 2 weeks or so ago,
He's about 5 -6 months old, and around 12"
i dont have a scale so i can't weigh him, but he has started bulking up alot since i've gotten him.
He eats his collard greens every day (often mixed with fruits or veggies),
as well as his crickets, and the occasional wax worm.

i have him in a 55 gallon w/ non-adhesive shelf liner as a substrate, with a 12x12 ceramic tile (actually a little smaller, i cut it some to fit in better) under where he basks

his temps are fine on both sides, i have a 100 watt light bulb for heat, and a repti-glo 8.0 for uvb

his name is Batman 8) i love him already

thanks for the support!

i just made him a hammock out of my left over shelf liner, and he LOVES it, he's been chillin in it most of the time since i made it for him, i put it right under his basking spot

i got him from a pet store, but it was our local one not a big chain, so they took pretty good care of him, and i am especially happy because he was already started on greens, and he eats them all the time, which helps alot
