Hi everyone. This is my first post. On Wednesday I received a new baby dragon(about 6 inces long)probable male, from a breeder on the Kingsnake classifieds. I have him in a 20 long glass tank with a Zoomed 5.0 flourescent light over the whole cage and a zoomed 50 watt basking light at one end. Hottest spot is around 115 degrees, cool end around 85. Substrate is sifted washed childrens playsand and I have a large piece of wood for a basking site. He looks a little thin in my opinion but is alert and likes to be under the basking light. So far he hasn't eaten anything since I got him. I put greens in the tank in the morning and cut up fresh ones again when I get home from work. I also offer juvi bearded dragon pellets and dusted crickets. I put the crickets in a glass bowl so he has access to them at all times and doesn't have to chase them around. I also mist him 5 or 6 times a day. So is this normal behavior for a baby dragon in new surroundings? When should I expect him to start eating? Thanks for any help.
