quick update on the BSFL he seems to really like them, so so far so good, I leave them in his bowl and I have to walk away and he goes and eats them from there, still trying to get him to eat his salads, he took some bites of some collard greens today but he still doesnt seem to like them. also wondering how much direct uvb beardies actually need he doesnt go under his uvb that often today he spent about an hour or two under it but then some days he doesnt go under it. he also like to glass surf quite a bit, I take him out but then he wants to go back in just to start glass surfing again with his enclosure opened.
Switch his greens up you need to find something he likes - mix them and see what hes eating the most of- collards/ turnip greens or mustard / turnip or kale dandeliion greens etc -- dragons know what they need for UVB and basking - let him do his thing he knows - how big is is tank ?

I will have to try and find a new basking rock for him then. Both of the ones he has are corner rocks so can't place the uvb right above it without it being directly under the basking lamp, haven't been able to find any good ones.
