My biggest concern is the screen cage. These really aren't suitable for desert dwelling species. Especially in the summer. BD's need a dry environment with ideal humidity in the 30-40% range. Lower is better than higher as sustained humidity of about 60% and above can cause respiratory infections. They are also very drafty.

I never dust salads. If you are feeding a good variety of the best choices it really is unnecessary. Here's a good link.

Everyone should really have a weight scale. Sometimes dragons eat less or hide here and there. My solution is weigh them. If they don't eat and don't lose weight then I'm not too concerned. reptilebasics.com has a good scale that is only $38.

If he doesn't eat be very watchful that you keep him hydrated.
