Hey I'm Eddie. I got my first beardie about 2 weeks ago from a small pet store, here in Orlando, that took great care of her (at least I think she is a she). My uncle got me into beardies when I was really young and now had the opportunity to finally get my first baby and she precious. I don't know her exact age but I would say around 7 weeks sounds good. I read as much as I could before I got her and still and reading more and more. She is a normal but is brighter with her orange and blue bars then other normals that were at the shop. Right now she is just call Baby Girl and I hope she is a girl cause I know they all look like females when they are young.

Right now have her tank set up pretty well with just a few change I would like to make, like having tile instead of paper towel but that will work for now.

Hoping to eventually get more when I can get a nice setup with more tanks so I don't have any accidents and to also start a dubia roach colony cause I am not a huge fan of crickets.

Hope I can meet some interesting people, make some friends here, and learn from the best!

P.S Will be uploading picture soon!

Well that is a bummer. :| Well then looks like that might be a problem.
I can see why they are but still would like them for my baby.
They are a lot better then crickets and I know other people here that have them.
Grrrrr

Well, I know its illegal to get dubia in Canada, but some have found a way to get them. I don't know if maybe there is someone that has dubia under the radar locally. Good luck.

I know some people that do have them. I'll just get some Northern Banana Beetles :wink:

Good luck. I prefer dubia to crickets any day.

I would too. Crickets are just nasty!
What other feeders should I get also?
I heard hornworms were good and super worms when she is bigger.

I use hornworms, my two love them... Zy loves everything. Silkworms are great as well, supers are for beardie 16" and longer, butters and wax are treats, and phoenix/calci/repti worms would make a great staple if the large ones weren't so small.

Here's sites that I use that have really good deals:

Hornworms:

Phoenix Worms:

Variety Worm Packs: (you can e-mail her and substitute bugs in the packs or ask for smalls for younger beardies)

Hope these help.
