    Hi all. I'm not sure how many of you are aware, but Passover is quickly approaching for us Jews. I am Orthodox, so me and my family are very strict about the rules etc, and for Passover, that includes cleaning the house from top to bottom to remove pretty much any food (in reality the rule is...

    Small scratch on beard

    Hi everyone! So I learned a lesson today: No more letting Herman run around on the table. He usually loves running around on our dining room table. It's great enrichment for him, and I usually work at the dining room table when I need a change of scenery from my bedroom lol, so I can keep an eye...

    Question about probe thermometer and basking bulb

    Hi everyone! I haven't been on this site in a while... but anyway, I've been looking to buy a new probe thermometer for Herman's enclosure and I was wondering if I need to buy two. For context, I already have two digital thermometers but they are not probes so they do not tell me the surface...

    Cherries!!!!

    I discovered today that my bear die absolutely LOVES cherries. Once he got a taste of the juice coming off it (because I had to open it up to remove the pit) he went NUTS! I have never seen him go that crazy for anything that wasn't a bug before. Now I know people give their beardies cherry...

    scratching in hide?

    Hey everyone! So I have a bearded dragon, Herman, who is about 7 months old. Yesterday he was acting a bit strange, hiding a lot and his beard was a bit dark, but I attributed it to the fact that we took him outside for a bit too long (yesterday was the first real nice day in a long time, in the...

    got new basking rock, is it too close to lamps?

    Hey everyone! So the basking rock that came with the enclosure broke, and today we bought another one that's a bit bigger than the old one. However, being that it's bigger the basking surface is closer to the bulb. I can't find my ruler but it looks to be around 6-7 inches. We use a digital...

    Hey all! So my family and I are going away for about a day an a half, leaving friday afternoon and return about 10pm saturday night. Taking our Herman with us isn't an option, and after doing some research we found that it's okay to leave your beardie alone for just one night. We plan on leaving...

    What is the optimal humidity for a bearded dragon?

    I'm getting mixed info from this site... some say that 40%-50% is the best, others say not to freak out if it's too low, and the pet store said optimal humidity is 30%. We used to struggle a lot with the humidity in Herman's enclosure because he is situated right near a window (we don't have...

    where to get feeder insects

    So I'm wondering where I can buy Dubias and BSFL in-person. People have reccommended using dubiaroaches.com and I have used them once before myself and I was very happy, but it is much easier for me to go to a local pet store since they don't charge shipping lol. I know petsmart doesn't carry...
