Tip Number ONE
BUY EVERYTHING YOU CAN FROM A HARDWARE STORE (Home Depot, Lowes, whatever) you'll save hundreds. EX People speak of these Mercury Vapour Bulbs for UV/heat they cost 40-60 bucks. Goto Home Depot and buy a metal halide bulb, it's the same bulb but it costs about 15 bucks. Shop clamp lights work great for dome lights I bought mine at walmart for 6.99 each rather than 29.99 at the local petstore. Indoor/Outdoor digital thermometer 10 bucks, or you can spend 30 on a temp gun, choice is yours.
All I can say is don't use sand until they are atleast a year old. I would avoid it even then but that's me. Shelf liner or astroturf, maybe even vinyl flooring if you have some lying around. Use paper towels for the first bit so you can monitor the poops easily.
Basking temps around 115 - 120 for younger dragons. Some people might say that's to high but they will use it. I personally have a basking temp of 130 for my 7month old, she loves it. Make sure your night time temps stay between 70 and 75 (normal room temp so it's usually pretty easy).
Anything specific you want to know just ask.
