My teacher has a 2' bearded dragon named Jakie and is planning to bring her in as a class pet. Jakie was previously called Jake, her name and pronouns changed due to a sex misunderstanding. I will be Jakie's caretaker while she is at my school.
Any suggestions?

Watch the kids- make rules - boundaries- correct lighting no coils for uvb's- basking temps need to be 95-100 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer- no sand no heat mats or rocks no colored bulbs-- lights on for 12 hrs off for 12 hrs- feed 2 hrs before lights off-- if you need more help please ask- the basking temps and UVB are the 2 most important things in the tank

That's what I have written so far.
Ok so dragons need to be fed salads everyday greens like collards mustard turnip or kale- squash cut up like yellow or zucchini NO CELERY - Blueberries occasionally- No cucumber this is going to give very watery stools and no nutrition - super worms are for treats not a staple feeder you want a staple feeder like crickets dubia roaches BSFL or silk worms- this dragons diet now is not healthy- you must have the correct lighting and what your telling me is the lighting is incorrect w/ the diet this dragon is getting fed- can you post a pic of the tank now? And a pic of the dragon please

No. I can ask my teacher to send pics though.
Ok let them read what I have posted so they can do some changing if they need too what substrate is being used in the tank ? Cleaning the tank out every 2 months is too long- dragons need to be sanitary if the tank is not clean they can contract yellow fungus and if not treated right away it will kill them -- so I would say to clean it everytime they poop
