I am a new owner and want to make sure I am doing things right My dragon is i a aquriam with a basking sopt of 105 and a cool end of about 80 he is eating crickets twice a day dusted with a reptacal once a day in the morning he is also givin a salad with mustard greens and collards and reptacal pellets he has a water dish avalible 24 7 and I mist him once a day. lights on at 5:30am off at 7:30pm oh he is about 12 inces long not sure his exact age. one other question I have the lights sitting on top of the screen on his cage does enough uva vub get through the screen. thanks for the help

How far is the basking spot from the uvB? It should really be 12" or less. Otherwise, sounds good to me. What kind of substrate are you using? There is a great list of foods available at http://www.beautifuldragons.com for variety and nutritional info.

Good luck with your new Beardie!
