For squash you have to cut the peal off, because it is much tougher than most vegetables. Zuccini is fine. Pretty much if you have to cut it off for you to eat, you need to cut it off for the dragon. I never heard about a need to peal grapes or peas, I just chop them. But I rarely feed either so that could be why I never had any issues.




using a coffee table for a enclosure is fine, providing it has at least 4'x2' of floor space. Height should be 18" to give enough room for lights (if inside).

For the UVB light, you will need to remove the glass or mount the uvb bulb inside the cage. Glass will block UVB rays. I also think it will block alot of heat as well, but not all of it. You can feel the heat from the sun through a window easily but it is not as powerful as through a screen or unblocked completely. So you will need a hotter basking bulb to get the basking spot to the right temperatures.
