Hi I have a 2 year old Bearded Dragon named Snickers that is 12 in long in a 20 gallon tank but before you say anything I am in the process of having a 3X3X2 (LXWXH) cage made by my uncle with grouted tile. I need ideas for decor. I also need ideas with food I feed her or Him crickets, Super worms, Wax worms as treats, Silkworms(just ordered), Horn worms(Just ordered), and a salad consisting of lettuce squash and cucumber, bananas as treats, blueberries, raspberries, and watermelon. Please help with this and I use calcium dust. With a 10.0 UVB bulb

Hi there, nice to meet you :)

How long has he been in the 20 gallon? 12" for a 2 year old is kinda small...Do you have a pic of him? We love pics, lol...

Glad to hear he will be getting a new enclosure, thats great! I would go with 4 foot long though instead of 3. I am sure he would love it! Well, the bugs you are offering is good, they love variety and sounds like thats what you are doing :) For greens though, I would offer things like mustard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, collard greens, endive, escarol, all squash is great to, and keep the fruit for treats only, to much sugar is not good for them. How often does he get calcium? Does it contain D3? Do you also offer a multivitiman? Is your 10 UV a reptisun linear? The coiled and compacts cause health issues for herps, as well as the ReptiGlo 10 tube as well....

I am getting the 30 to 40 gallon this Christmas and I used 3 long and 3 width so we can fit in a spot in room. I am getting multivitamin tonight and I have a tube 10.0 UV. Pics tonight
