New Hatchling

I just bought a male snow last week at the show, he is very alert, loves to explore and very docile ( I just raise Bearded Dragons) so this is a little new to me. I just want to make sure I have everything right. Right now he is in a 20 gal. tank, 85.1' on hot side and 72.2' on cool side, 2 hides one in hot and one in cold side. He is on the zoo med eco earth (compressed coconut fibre and has a small water dish, which gets changed every dat with spring water. Thw big question is am I doing things right? and should I change anything?

Second question - how often should I feed him? He ate 1 F/T pinkie Saturday morning with no problems - any special way to prepare his food - just room temp or slightly warmed, I hear some prefer to make a couple slits down the back - and how often should I feed him? I have read many varying opinions - anywhere from 3-5 days to just once a week - and do they prefer mornings or evenings?

Here are a few pics of the little guy;



and his first meal with us;



Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Chris
