Re: First Beardie Questions
If it is a MVB (mercury vapor bulb), then yes, it is normal for it not to turn on if it is turned off, they have a built in timer.
I'm not sure if cilantro is safe to feed, because it is aromatic, but i'm not 100%sure either way.
I'd keep the basking spot 110-120 degrees, remember, they come from Australia, so it's not like it's going to get too hot unless it can burn him.
How big is he? A twenty long is not going to be big enough for an adult, they "need" at least a forty gallon long, though i would recommend a 4x2x2 for an adult.
Also... With tomatoes, they are part of the nightshade family, so i'd not feed too much in case the fruit has any toxins.

He's a baby baby. I can't remember how many weeks the guy said, but hes only... 3-4 inches... maybe? He's tiny. I have a 55 set aside for when he gets big enough.

Most definitely. If you're not going to take the time and money to make an effort to properly care for an animal, why get one? I looked up stuff on beardies and most said the same you did, minimum of a 40 gal, comfy in a 50+. I got a deal a few months ago on a bunch of 55's so I have 5 of them and only 3 are being used.
