Why did I let my partner convince me to purchase my new addiction. But hey here is the little fella (until we no lol)
Yes a 9 week old bearded dragon. Only went to look and then I open my eyes to realise I've brought him lol he's loving the large space he has. Won't last long |

Looking good an hes growing well.
Using that type of sand is up to you but they need to be 6+ months old before you use any loose substrate unless you feed him out of the viv, at that size hes digestive track will be less than an inch long so would not take much to get blocked up.
Upturned tiles fitted on the floor works well with beardies an looks good |

Thanks badwool. Here's a few updated pictures of the little bugger. He's right on the old defensive all the time he's funny as wants to fight my hand all the time other than when there's food involved. Lol
I did take the sand out but then it felt empty so I'm constantly keeping an eye on him eating etc and he seems to be pooing more than enough. So personally I think the sand isn't much of an issue. |

They are pretty easy to keep really as long as temps are ok and have uv light. Then its just a case of giving him water everyday, some bugs covered with the calcium powder then a bowl of greens lol. Wait till it is older and it is breeding season they are so funny waving and head bopping they must be the most sexually frustrated animals ever lol they never give up |

Appreciate the advice guys. And Chris. Your not having a go. It's just advice. I could be a complete mug and not take any advice people give me. But hey first think Tomo I'm gonna take it out. Not throw it. Ill just keep to one side as good clean stuff.
I'm new to this so any other people experience helps. That's the only way we all learn.
Thanks again. |

i agree with jbarlow91 you want to keep him/her on paper/tissue/lino until it's 6+ month's old and a accurate feeder.
not having a go or anything but personally i would bin that coloured sand, ive seen pic's where it has stained their feet so go know what it does to their inside's.
play sand is best once their old enough a some big bit's of sandstone late look's good in the viv i got a load for a couple of quid from a garden center.
he/she is a cool little thing, i will get some more beardie's one day |

Yeah that's why I'm going to hand feed him to save all that trouble |

Looks good lol I'd be careful with the sand as if they swallow it can cause impaction and even the calci sand aint too good as it can clog up if gets to wet. If u have a tub you could put him in to feed might not be a problem lol |

I'd stick with the one you have with a good reflector.
Check out the article on uv in prk this month, it's good to have a darker side. |

You might be better off with a 30" bulb in a three ft tank so it covers the whole tank mate |
