    New enclosure, strange behavior

    We moved a little while back and had Dax (3.5 years old) in a temporary 20" L for the move. 2-3 weeks ago we put him in his new enclosure - a custom-built 4' x 2' x 2'. Since then he's been acting a bit strange. Sometimes he just drags his body across the bottom of the enclosure, or lays there...

    Sliding vs Cabinet style doors

    I'm drawing out plans for my first custom-built enclosure and wanted to tap the knowledge of everyone here. Do you prefer sliding or cabinet style doors? I'd think cabinet style would allow more accessibility when cleaning the tank, but in practice that might not matter. If you prefer cabinet...

    Feeder counts when ordering online

    I came here to ask this when I saw the thread about PetCo shorting people on worms, but I'd like to know when ordering feeders online, how accurate should I expect the counts to be? I ordered 500 superworms from FeederFactory.ca and since this was my first time ordering "in bulk", I decided to...

    Feeder Factory?

    Has anyone ordered from Feeder Factory (feederfactory.ca)? I was expecting my order (super worms, Repti-Sun 10.0 bulb, and calcium dust) Wednesday. It didn't arrive, so I called them to see what was up. Turns out the Repti-Sun bulb was out of stock from their main supplier - understandable, but...

    Aggressive eater, drew blood

    It doesn't seem to matter what I feed him, Dax always very aggressively eats his food, be it live feeders or veggies. I've tried hand-feeding, putting it in a dish, dropping it in the tank, and using feeder tongs. The other day I was lowering a dish of fresh greens into his tank and he lunged...

    Do fluorescent tubes have a shelf life?

    Subject pretty much says it all. I was thinking about ordering two Reptisun 10.0 fluorescent tubes to save on shipping, and just storing one in a cool, dry place until it is needed. Note: I'm not talking about use time, I'm talking about inactive shelf life. I know the bulbs should be replaced...

    Thermometer from PetMountain

    I recently moved and need a good thermometer, and I'm not all too sure I'll be able to find one reasonably priced around here. Since I'm getting a ReptiSun 10.0 from petmountain.com, I figured I'd get a thermometer at the same time. That said, I'm not sure which would be a solid choice...

    An Introduction of Sorts

    I've had my beardie for 3 years now, a male dragon named Dax - I bought him from the pet store when he was a few months old. Picture of Dax taken a few minutes ago. The pet store I went to closed shortly after getting him, and the others in the area, I've come to learn, aren't exactly known...
