Hi David, I find Beardies to be very inquisitive and as GoodTruant mentioned just before, beardies will attempt jumps. Be careful, they really aren't limber so they fall flat, like a bellyflop right on their tummies. Personally, I was always concerned about internal damage from falls like that...

Beardies can be picky so you'll have to try various things from the beautiful dragons food list before you find something he really likes. This is a fun part of getting to know your boy. :blob5: My guy hated mustard greens. :puke: LOL! I give mine Kale and dandelion greens together (from the...

I noticed no one mentioned, so I'll add to your information overload.. :lol: You'll need to have this list. http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html This is an EXCELLENT resource! Scroll all the way down the page for food and plants that are safe for your dragon. I also recommend...

Anyone think maybe he has some sunfire in him?

Posting a pic might help folks see what you're seeing. I wouldnt rely solely on stress marks to indicate something is wrong. How is she/he eating, sleeping and defecating?

I would agree, looks like its a boy! Congrats! :lol:

Thanks! Its a product of lots of research, books and good advice gleaned from this site. :wink:

Sounds like Ill be returning the bag of sand after all. LOL. Ill check out home depot for the slate tile. Thank you. :wave: :wave:

I have a few pieces of slate in my viv and I do love it. I'll tell you..where I live, that stuff doesn't come cheap but even the beardie seems to love it. Do you line the whole floor with segments? How do you set it up so that the crix don't hide in between? Here's a shot of my set up. Crickets...

Are the hoppers you buy large? The ones I bought were in a can (sorta gross) :lol: Although the size was perfect for him. they were like maybe 2 crickets long. Thanks for the feedback.

The poster kcarello left a great article up. Much more informative than most one-sided arguments. Makes me think twice about sand anyway.

Hi guys, Did my own homework - the information comes from my beardie reference book and is published by a herp society. Ill come bck to edit the post and enter the name. Grasshoppers are safe for Beardies. Obviously you should use caution with wild caught one due to possibility of pesticides...

I definetly agree about the top loader. I had one in the beginning when he was young. Front openers keep us from looking like a predator. He immediately mellowed out when I switched over to the front opening viv.

Tile is great for cleaning but ther's no grip on the tile. I hear that maintaining your beardie solely on hard, slick surfaces like that encourages malformed toe syndrome. (the toes always bent backwards)

Here's my set-up. Just wanted to share.. :) I thought in the close up you could see the carpet, but i see the glare from the window makes it difficult.
