School Scheduale

[Alexmc2003]

Hi! I am going this week to get a bearded dragon this week as i have been doing research for about a year now and i already have everything i need to make the little guy happy. I am a full time high school student so i was wondering if this agenda would be okay for his scheduale?
7:30 turn on lights
8:00- feed bearded dragon
(Im at school)
6:30-feed bearded dragon
7:30 turn off lights

Please let me know if there is anything i should change

Id recommend bumping it up to 9 pm rather than 7 pm. If the beardie is an adult and burmating 12 hours would be okay probably, but for a baby/juvenile or a non burmating beardie its recommend 13-14 hours of proper uvb and heating. Plus you have to let them bask at least for 2 hours after they eat so they can fully digest their meal before going to bed.

Invest in a mechanical or programmable plug in light timer.
Set the lights and heat to turn on automatically at 6am and turn off automatically at 10pm.

How old will the dragon be ? how heavy ?

if a hatchling : I recommend very strongly three live insect meals per day
ie
8:00- feed bearded dragon
leave some BSF lavae in a worm excape proof bowl for the dragon to nibble in while
at school
6:30-feed bearded dragon
