Congratulations on your new addition and welcome to BDF! Hopefully these links provide some good info and reference material to give you and your new little dude a long and happy life together :) If I may be so bold as to give one teeny tiny suggestion...as a substrate maybe lose the towel and replace with paper towels. Tiny toenails could get caught in the threads of the towel, plus paper towels can be changed faster and easier when cleaning. Many people will create a cozy little sleeping place for their beardie, and many beardies will take advantage, snuggling into something nice and soft. But for the majority of the tank, another material would be best :)

Some good links that you may find useful to get started off right ...

What a cutie! Looks just like my Luci, hopefully he's a lot calmer! They make the best pets and you are going to quickly fall in love with him, if you haven't already! Atochats posted some good links and she's right, paper towels are so much easier to clean, especially with a baby that will poop ALL the time! One fun tip, take measurements, weight/length tip of nose to tip of tail. It's fun to see how much and how fast they grow!
