Feed young ones every day, once they start approaching adult size, cut back to 3-4 feedings per week.
Little ones will eat crickets and pinky mice. As they grow you increase the rodent size to fuzzies, hoppers, small mice, adult mice. You can use rodents as their complete diet or you can continue with insects throughout their lives, keeping their diet roughly 80-90% rodents (or chicks, quail, etc.) and 10-20% insects. You can also offer some raw meat (red, white, poultry) periodically.
Use the smallest bulbs possible to achieve 130 basking site surface temps (not air temps). No UVB is needed; don't waste your money.
