next get some super worms small if you can find them or some medium add to the salad 1-3 only -you dont want him addicted to the worms- you can also get some BSFL from here and order large www.https://symtonbsf.com/ they are another staple feeder do not dust w/ calcium D3 - add as many as you want and make sure you add them to the salad in front of him so he sees what your doing this will entice him to the salad bowl - let him eat from that bowl for like an hr or so then add your staple insect feeder I recommend dubia roaches they are the easiest to care for and the last longer than crickets- take a little of the salad out and put your bugs in that bowl he will eat vegies as well - you can pull a leg off the crickets to disable them so they cant get out -the dubias you can keep them in a 10 gallon aquarium or / tote feed them dubia food or food you feed your dragon and carrots for hydration - they love squash -- you can order them from here http://www.dubiaroaches.com -- this place has good worms too like butter worms horn worms they are a hydrating worm and grow really fast so order small amounts you can also order wax worms but feed all these sparingly wax worms are like candy to them -- the butter worms are a good worm to feed more so than wax - NO MEALWORMS - babies stomachs are sensitive - you can feed mealworms when he gets older -- you need to dust your bugs 5 x per week w / calcium D3 and the vitamins 2 x per week -- so when you need more help please ask - where do you plan on putting the T 5? on top of screen or inside the tank ----- that basking temp of 118 is toooo hot --- it needs to be 105-110 no higher ----

You will need a calcium so that question is gonna need to be answered by some one else on here - I have calcium D3 and vitamins w/ out D3 so I am not sure on that one-- I dont know if you are going to be able to use just the calcium w/ out D3 and get away w/ the Reptivite D3 or if your gonna need both -- yes the T 5 can go into the tank approx 12-15 inches from his basking decor
