Hey - Great photos! You will get the hang of the camera soon enough. How old is that beardie? What kind of substrate is that in its cage? Looks like a younger dragon to me, and looks like you got reptisand in there. For that young of a dragon, I would keep it on paper towels or shelf-liner. You may have recently read a thread a little below, quite heated, about substrates. A dragon has the chance of becoming impacted and dying from that kind of sand, or sand in general for baby dragons. Otherwise, looks like a good enclosure!

Just my opinions here.

Yes - About the Calci-Sand - He may be doing fine now, but Im just warning you, it is about the worst substrate out there. I personally lost my second dragon I got from Calci-sand. Came down one day and it was dead. Had a necropsy done and it was FULL of calci-sand. It indeed is NOT digestible, in my Chem lab I did an experiment and put calcisand in nitric acid and sulfuric acid, and not all of it dissolved. Im sure the results could have varied with the dilution of the acids, but regardless, a BD's stomach acid is NOT that strong. The sand will just build up. I dont want the same thing that happened to me to happen to you, and I strongly suggest you pitch it.
