Ermm yea their colours stand out alot more the older they get u will find the colours go dark and light on there body if they go really dark just check the temp of the tank and feel ur beardie to make sure he/she is warm

Did u get him from a pet co or pets mart? If so their beardies come from a sand fire line.i would consider him a red or orange right now but as he gets older his colors may change

Very cute beardie.

Baby beardies don't need as much greens as adults. So don't worry of they don't eat them.. Live food is best at its young age.

Temps.

Basking should be 110-115 for your beardies age. Cool side should be 80-85 and humidity 10-20%. At night it can drop as low as 65degree with no issue. If it drops lower than that u need a ceramic heat bulb.

Also make sure you have a tube style Uvb bulb. 10.0 either reptiglo or reptisun both are good.

20 gallon long is perfect for your beardie and easy to keep temps until he/she grows. I still house mine in a 20 long and he's 18" but being moved into new viv soon.

Make sure to dust With calcium with D3 everyday and twice a week with multi vitamins.

Cheers

Aw wot a lovely little one, yeh u cnt really tell wot they gunna look like wen they older as their colours can change with each shed. Im new to beardie well fairly new myself but its pretty easy to pik up. One thing I have learnt ova the past couple of months is every beardie id different they have such unique personalities there moods can change and the colour also changes with them. Its stange really ..... In the mornin diego is very dark fir the first couple of hours until he warms up then hes quite light. He goes a lot darker wen he is hungry or hunting his locus. At the min he has a grey top of head n grey arms n legs where he gettin ready to shed. Poor thing. Wen I first got Diego wich was on the 26 th of jan (best bday prezzie eva!!!) and he was all browns n sandy colours now he has yellow in his beard n orange down his spikes so yeh they do change alll the time. Just like luvthemanimal sed as long as his viv is clean warm n homely then he will b fine. Most u read will give u the temps in f. Wereas coz im from uk I needed them in c. So its around 40 c for hot end n around 28 for tye cooler end. Ive had both tile n sand for flooring an id say if u can have tile. Easy to clean cheap keeps the temps up and looks awsum. hope ur beardie brings u as much joy as mines brought me

Im really not sure where he came from actually. I got him from a friend who got him from someone else. yeah when hes under his light his orange gets so bright it almost looks neon-ish. Its neat!

Thanks for all the info!!! On the tile vs sand, dont they eventually need sand so they can dig and burrow and stuff? Right now I am using paper towels as a bottom because I read if I use sand when my beardie is too young it can cause impaction. And where can I find tiles to fit in my tank??

 

[BethanyBrianne]

Thanks to everyone for all the advice and information!!! I truly appreciate it!

I saw someone said the humidity level should be
10-20 % that's wrong it's
30-40%

How can I make the humidity go lower? I live in an area where its really humid and right now its at 50% and sometimes it goes higher than that. I dont mist him while in his cage and I don't have a water bowl in there and I dry him off before I put him back inside but the humidity stays pretty high.

 

[Portmanmike]

50 not that bad my buddy's tank stays at 50 he has no problem

 

[diegothediggy]

If u have a water dish in there n he dnt drink out of it id take that out that will take the humidity dwn a bit.

Also as for the sand vs tile well im kinda up on both wen I got Diego he came with sand and dnt get me rong it looks great but I found a few problems with the sand 1 was it gets in the run of the door n makes a horrible noise wen u open n shut it. 2 its really hard to keep clean u have to pik every bit of salad out n every locus legs that fall of n it can b quite difficult. I mean I use to pik all the bits out every day n the first time I changed the sand there was dead locus salad n bita of skin all under tye sand. Also diego loves a run around and hed run around the viv n get sand all in his wayer n salad bowl. So I got some tile but didnt wanna get rid of all the sand coz he quite often sleeps on it so I kept 1/4 of the viv sand. His basking end so I cqn feed him on the tile so no worry of inpact. The tile keep rhe temps up look great and is gery easy to keep clean. Diego luvs his viv he often sleeps in the sand so im glad I kept some of it

That would have been myself.... Bearded dragons humidity should not be that high. I've talked to 3 different herp veterans and they all told me between 5 to 20 % humidity at max.

If, I am wrong I will admit that. Just curious what are your sources telling you to have high humidity for a DESERT reptile??
