To keep the dragon happy make sure you have UVB on it and heat. I would recomend the mercury Vapour bulb, which includes both. The temperatures for an adult should be between 100-105 (basking spot), if it's a baby bump it up to 110 (basking spot). At night I would just get a 50 watt infared to keep him warm as long as your house isn't freezing. The tank for an adult should atleast be a 40 gallon breeder size. For the most convient substrate I would go with astro-turf. I suggest you get an branch for it to bask on and a "lizard hammock" to sleep on. Everyday I mist my beardies with water as well. You should feed it large size crickets if its an adult but make sure you powder it with an "ICB" dust. You can also give it mealworms and sometimes NOT often, pinky mice. I would recomend feeding everyday too, not everyone does it but it I feel it necces. It's hard to tell without a photo but your dragon seems like it could be a normal with some sandfire. Anyways I hope this helps!
