He is adorable, he look like he is 3 months or so. What is his basking temps. And do you have a UVB tube light or a coil UVB light.

So beautiful! He looks maybe 3-4 months, but here's a website that can help you determine based on length:)https://oddlycutepets.com/bearded-dragon-age/#:~:text=For the first year of,you can, contact the breeder.
Thank you!!

It’s a coil light but I am saving up to buy a bigger tank for him that comes with a tube light. The cold side is at 83.2 and the warm side is at 95.4 and the basking spot it 107.1

Make sure the tube light is a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulb --- let us know what your getting and how soon -- that coil should be replaced ASAP - the baby time is critical for calcium absorption --- he needs it to ward off MBD and other health issues so I would be getting that before the tank -- consider it a investment--------what size tank is he in now?

Ok so the 24" fixture will be good for your 40 gallon is the height 18" ? Please invest in this now -- as of this moment the coil is doing NO good -- they are inadequate for a 40 gallon tank and as far I am concerned not any good for any tank I am not a fan of coils seen too much damage done to dragons done by them -- if you need help finding one or more info please ask I will help you --- the 24" fixture will go right into your 120 gallon that is what I am using for my two tanks

You can try your local pet stores most do not carry the length I am recommending - so most are bought on line - do not get a fixture the same length as the tank - you want him to be able to get out of the UVB rays w/ out hiding from the UVB - you can go here https://www.reptilesupplyco.com/who...84-reptisun-terrarium-hood-t5-24-zoo-med.html this comes w/ a 5.0 bulb it is equivalent to a T 8 -- it can be used as a back up but distance and placement is different from the T 5
you need this bulb https://www.reptilesupplyco.com/t5-...uvb-t5-ho-fluorescent-bulb-22-zoo-med.html--- call this place I am not sure how fast they ship out 916-226-4089 they are out of CA -- if shipping is too long you can look on line -- my go to place that I know is good is out of stock they have a hard time keeping this fixture in stock -- when you get the fixture let me know please so I can help you get it placed and proper distance
