How to take care of a Bearded Dragon

This is my "beardie" Striker. He is almost 5 months old. Everyday I give Striker a live cricket - that we get from the pet store, and fresh water, and a bowl of veggies or fruit. He likes to eat zucchini, cucumber, parsley, dark green lettuce, carrots, cantaloupe, pears, and apples. His favorite is zucchini and cucumber.
Never give your "beardie" avocado, citrus, spinach and iceberg lettuce.
Mist him with water a couple of times a week.
He has to have a heat lamp and an ultra violet lamp on his aquarium. I like to see him curl up at night in the hole that he makes for himself in his sand every night.
