I’m planning on getting my first bearded dragon soon, and I already have the tank. I’ve done tons of research on basic husbandry and setup, but there are still some things that were unclear, so I was wondering if anyone who owns a beardie could give me some advice and tips. I have a few specific questions.

  1. I know that they need a UVB light, but I’m wondering if it needs to cover the entire tank, or if I can use it as a basking bulb and put it on one side of the tank?
  2. Do I have to feed it everyday/how often do I have to feed it?
  3. I read something on a website that said babies should be fed a diet of 70% crickets and mealworms, and 30% fruits and veggies, but for adults those percentages are switched. Is this true? And if so, what are some good fruits and veggies to feed it?
  4. Does humidity matter at all with beardies?



And that’s all I can think of for now, thanks so much in advance!
