Hi everyone. Just recently acquired a baby bearded dragon the other day. Not sure if its a male or female. Ill assume male for now until i try the flashlight method. but we named it Kujo.
Pet store called it a hypo, but I really don't know that it is for sure. Right now its just in a 10 gallon until I can get my 100 gallon set up.
I was recommended by pet store a 50w basking bulb by eco terra and a 13w reptile desert uvb bulb by eco terra. They are just in 5 1/2 inch fixtures sitting on top of screen.
Was told they were all being fed and eating flukers buffet blend, which occasionally ive seen him do so. Also got the Dubia roaches which he loves. With the flukers calcium with vitamin d3 which was also recommend to use a couple times a week.
Hes got a root type basking spot where hes spends quite a bit of time and a little log hideaway but doesnt use it.
I went and bought a acu rite digital thermometer indoor/outdoor with indoor humidity. Not sure how accurate but seems to be reading somewhat accurate. 110 basking spot and 79 on the cool side right now. Humidity says 62% which seems a little high if its right.
He seems fine and has had no problems eating. He slept on his basking spot last night after lights went off. While Holding him he likes to cuddle it seems like.
I know my setup isn't nothing special but just trying to get by for now and would appreciate any comments tips, ideas, or if im doing something wrong. Don't have a ton of money for real fancy stuff but would like to make it as comfortable for him as I can.
I know about bathing him but haven't done it yet. Anyhow thanks for looking. Ive kept fish most of my life but I really think I have a new addiction. Bearded dragons are amazing creatures.
