Ohh Man sorry you had another nip. That one has to be separated out. Try to find him a home early where he'll be the only dragon in the tank. I start my babies in 65 quart rubbermaid/sterlites then as they grow (about 2 weeks)I separate them by size into larger 95 quart bins. I try to keep as few as possible to a bin. I made a shelf system out of a wire rack they sell at home depot. It has 4 shelves, and I can fit 3 bins per shelf. The lights get attached to each shelves bottom, and the shelves can be raised and lowered depending on what sized bins you use. Works well and gives lots of housing options.

it's not done in this picture but you'll get the idea. The top row of bins are 65 quart, and the bottom two rows are 95 quart. As they age grow and new clutches hatch I move them down into larger bins. I use dual 4ft fixtures with UVB bulbs, and found incandescent fixtures that attach to the wire shelving. Each levels fixtures are run together, and I use 75 watt halogens for each, and each row gets plugged into a dimmer. The dimmer lets me dim the lights of each level, and helps me get perfect basking temps for the babies.
