A few more questions

[Vertigo]

After reading the caresheet, I came up with a few more questions about stuff...

1. Should I put UVB tubes through the whole tank and a heat lamp at one side for basking?
2. Should I shake every meal in vitamin powder?
3. Is it okay if I spray veggies with water that has a bit of natural fruit juice, or feed them water with a bit of it?
4. When they're young, can I always feed them while I'm holding them, or should they learn to eat alone in their cage?
5. Should I add a second layer so my dragon can get closer to the lights if they want?

Well, that's about it for now. Any suggestions will be helpful!
Thanks!

1. i personally recommend having the uvb stretch atleast 3/4 of the tank nd also make sure the heat source is also in the same spot so they absorb uvb while basking

2. depends on the age of your dragon...if they r 17 mons and younger, then 6 days out of the week 1 feeding should be dusted with calcium and 1 with multivitamin and if they are adults (18 months nd older) they get dusted 3-4 times a week with calcium and 1 day with multivitamin

3. you dont need to mist your greens but if you do i wouldnt add fruit juice unless you squeeze it yourself from a fresh fruit...many juices contain artificial sugars and such

4. i would keep handfeeding only for treats because they get spoiled and expect to be handfed all the time...you can teach them to eat in a separate bin from their home so you dont have to go crazy hunting down uneaten crickets

5. its totally up to you...you can add a platform so he can get bigger, raise the basking spot or lower the bulb itself...the choice is yours
