Mistakes to Avoid - These are some common
mistakes many people make with their new dragons. We hope
to bring attention to them, to help our customers, and others
to avoid them!
1. Not using a UVB light!
2. Not changing their UVB light every 6 months
3. Putting a baby dragon in a big cage
4. Keeping a larger dragon in a 10-20 gallon tank. NOT OK.
5. Feeding lettuce as a major part of their dragon's vegetable
diet.
6. Not feeding baby dragons enough crickets (2-3 times a day
as much as they can eat in 5 mins)
7. Forgetting to build up in their cages, Dragons love to
climb
8. Not checking their temperature in the basking spot (many
just think they are hot enough)
9. Not bathing or making sure their dragon drinks enough.
10. Using a substrate made of
small particles like bark or walnut shells. Although its sand,
we don't reccomend Calcium sand either.
11. Not gutloading crickets!
12. Not getting a fecal check done on their beardie once a
year
13. Not taking their dragon to the vet when they suspect a
problem

together after they are babies.
