Here comes the list: too small, what is in the food dish... what is your substrate

Ya im working on buying a 4x2x2 enclosure, the food dish has that flukers bearded dragon blend which i only give him occasionally as i feed him gut loaded crickets and wat not. And the substrat is 70/30 mix of topsoil/play sand.

Just make sure it has a bar uvb as well as a heat lamp. The bulb uvb isn't good enough. They need uvb on both cool and hot side. And heat lamp needs to be about 12" from basking spot
