Hey my name is kornel.I have been keeping animals for all of my life .I am 17 from the island of saint .Lucia .My dad was a farmer who kept chicks while my family had goats ,ducks ,pigs as well as other birds and Rottweiler's too.I came to the States (NY) in which I currently keep two parrots 1 conure(Clo) and a cockaitiel (Lulu).I also keep fishwater fish such as south american cichlids (Oscars ,firemouths ,green terrors and some other fish(list would to be long) .Also African ciclids mostly from the mbuna speices and yellow lads.I keep saltwater fish as well triggerfish,mandarins,snowflake moray eels and many more .BUT my newest edition and also first reptile is Zeus my baby bearded dragon .He is about 9inches .He currently is in the temporary set up of a 10 gallon which is in a 55 gallon that he will live in but rn now I need to get taller decorations for him to get enough heat to bask in the 55.He has a big fish decoration high enough for him to get the required amount of heat in the 10 gallon.He is currently heated with a 75w basking lamp,75w nightlamp and a Reptisun 10.0 UVA/UVB bulb.He is on tissue paper as substrate .I keep the basking spot 90-100 degrees with humidity from 30-50 ℅.The diet I am currently feeding in his for his veggies:boy choy and collar greens,Insects:crickets(gutloaded),waxworms(gutloaded)and mealworms (gutloaded).I bath him regularly to make sure he isnt impacted due to the meal worms and it is really the only worm that wholes value that they sell where I live.I give him the rep cal growth formula pellets as well as the net geographic entree pellets which I need advice on how to get them to eat pellets.I supplement Rep cal Calcium with D3 about 3 times a week in one serving and Herptivite 2 times a week in one serving .I clean his tank every week and I spray him with water for him to drink .Any suggestions and I would like to know his color morph because he was labeled as a fancy bearded dragon and has bright orange colors .

Welcome!! Can you post some pictures!!?

Diet seems alright apart from the mealworms. If possible try to feed the smallest and/or softest ones available. If there aren't many other options near you you could try buying online. Dubideli and Phoenixworms have good options for staple insects.

It is best not to have any light on at night. If you can't keep the cage warm enough you can put a ceramic heat emitter in.

Good luck!! And I want pictures !!!

Meet Zeus the baby bearded dragon .He is currently head shedding and I didn't handle him as a result of it being early in morning and him shedding cuz of stress.The big tank he is in will soon be his home
