Spicy, the juvenile bearded dragon.

[ilikepickles:)]

Hello everyone! This is Spicy, we have no idea what it’s gender is. I usually refer to him as a he. He likes crickets and mealworms, but has not tried actual fruits and veggies. He basks for a few hours, but after, he likes to hang out on the cool side and play around. The next photo is his enclosure, I’ve been meaning to get more stuff for it. Please give suggestions. I have two heatlamps, one baking lightbulb, one UVA/UVB lightbulb (cool side), two thermostats, two food dishes, one for water, and a hiding place/basking perch with a bridge on the cool side. His bedtime is 7:30 P.M. (CST USA) and he wakes up when I wake up.

Welcome to the forum if you have any questions please do ask they’re lots of helpful people here with good advice, if i may ? What kind of uvb bulb is that? If its a coil uvb get that out asap they cause eye problems and can hurt your baby, meal worms can be hard for babies to digest I wouldn’t use them tbh, order him some B.S.F.L from symtombsf.com and opt for the large , small are too small, these are really good for babies and they dont need to be calcium dusted. Hes very cute and i like his name,

Thank you for telling me about the issues with coils!!! I have a coiled bulb for the UVA/UVB light. I will order a new one ASAP. As for the mealworms, I will stop feeding him those. I knew about the digestive part, but I make the mealworms softer by cutting them just a bit. I will buy BSF larvae from now on. Do I still keep the BSFL in the fridge?
