Hi everyone!
I am a brand new mama to a lovely little girl. Her name is Princess Peach (we have a sulcata tortoise named Bowser so kids wanted to stick with the Mario theme lol). So a little background, I am the third owner. My brother in law rescued her off a craigslist ad from a gentlemen who was being deployed (thank you for your service!). My brother in law has 4 beardies already so they asked if we could take her. I have never in my life owned a bearded dragon and our sulcata is only 5 months old. They are housed entirely separate and require completely different environments and temperatures/humidity so they haven't even met yet and probably won't for a long time. I'm excited to be here. I'm not going to lie I was a little hesitant after reading up and doing research (I have a cockroach phobia) but I am determined to do whatever I can to give this little girl a pleasant life with us. I know I will have a TON of questions especially since I don't know exactly how old she is. No one does but she is fairly small. She is probably a juvenile from the looks of her shes definitely not a baby. She is currently in a 20L tank with cover. Basking area has a temp of about 100-105. I have newspaper down instead of sand because I know all about impaction, something I have to watch out for with the Tort, she has a water bowl incase she is interested and my brother in law gave me a bunch of super worms who are currently being gut loaded as we speak. She has a fresh salad of dark greens in the tank with her, and I plan on dusting her feeders with calcium every other day however I'm not sure if that is too much or too little. Please advise, it would be greatly appreciated. I am all ears to constructive criticism on her tank set up and diet. I want to make sure i'm doing it right and who else to turn to then long time enthusiasts!
Thank you!!!!!
