Your dragon needs calcium w/ D3 5 x per week dusted on the insects lightly coated ONE time per feeding -- Herptivite 2 x per week dusted on the insects lightly coated ONE time per feeding -- if your using a coil UVB he will not be able to absorb and synthesize that calcium your feeding -- coils are inadequate UVB's and will cause all kinds of health issues ---- these supplements will change when he turns a year old and that will be determined by the bulb your using either the T 5 or the T 8 --- T 5's are stronger and better bulbs

It’s about 3/4 of the tank and I already changed the screen out from the kit we purchased. His husbandry is spot on just need to know how much and how often he should be getting his vitamin supplements

Ok so your screen will block 30% of the rays if its a fine mesh like a screen door and it sitting on top -- the reason I am asking is he wont be able to absorb or synthesize that calcium hes eating w/ out being properly placed and distanced for that screen
