Were a new dragon family. He is my 8 year olds friend with mom, dad and big sister helping take care of him, We want to make sure were doing the best we can for him. I will break it down and let you know our set up and let me know anything we need to change!
Dragon : About 6in long baby ( we got him from a mom and pop pet shop but he seems very active and healthy)
Tank: 50 gallon breeder tank with wire top
Light/ Heat: Warm side we have a 160 Watt mercury light , with a long uvb bulb in the middle. for night we have a no light infrared bulb to give heat but no light. Top of perch reads 105 with a temp gun
Cool side has a 75Watt mercury bulb
inside tank: Vinyl floor in a sand color, a shallow water bowl with water depth about to bottom of his belly. shallow food dish. tall wood perch on warm side, and 1/2 log den for cool side .
Food : dragon salad with few types of greens ( no lettuce) Shredded squash, apple, carrots, squash, and bell peppers.
tiny crickets ( ordered on line and feed them same fresh salad as the dragon gets along with water crystals they are in a 40 gallon tote with home made mesh top ) dusted in vits and cals. Butterworms, Dubia Roaches, He gets about 15-20 3 times a day.
dry baby dragon pellets in his bowl offered all day
M/W/F he gets a bath and other days he gets misted
Held every day for about 15-20 min
no lights on at night but has the heat bulb on
What else do we need or do different, We want to make sure he stays healthy and happy to make a good friend for my son.
