Thats so neat. Will have to try something similar. Right now hes still in his old cage, but moved next to the new one. He just came out of a deep sleep, and hes showing signs of stress, every time he sees me, he glass surfs with black beard. Poor little guy, nothing makes him happy right now...

We have a very hard time with the humidity. Even with a little dehumidifier, our cage stays around 45%, sometimes higher. Our beardie is about 15 months old now and hes never had a respiratory problem, but i am always trying to lower it. Being in south Louisiana doesnt help. We just made him a...

Ok thank you for all your help. I will look up a list and go from there. I certainly don't want to cause our little beardie any problems. I do have some organic basil im trying to grow, but figured that wouldnt grow too well with no humidity. Thinking of that, do you mist your plants in the cage...

We wanted to add a few plants real or fake to his enclosure. But want to make sure they are safe. I have some air plants (not sure what kind) and aloe vera. If pesticide free are these safe in ceramic pots? Also does anyone have a site to get FAKE cactus that is safe (cant eat)? So far i only...

Just wanted to post a thank. Worked perfectly, foam rocks came out clear and look good again.

The cage is tall. About 24inches. It has a hinged topper to hide the wires. So i can put the uvb on a chain so it can drop down. But is that 12 inches to the platform or dragons head hieght?

We have a t5 HO reptisun 10 uvb that's only 22inches (fixture 24"). We are working on his new, bigger cage. And would like to know if this will be enough uvb in his new cage that is 5ft long x 2ft wide? There will be other lights in there for brightness, only worried about his uvb exposure.

Thanks. I wanted to make sure acrylic paint would stick and the polyurethane would stick to the paint and still seal the rock. Does it still matter if its spray on, now that the grout is sealed? I wanted to stay with the water based polyurethane if possible.

Brushed on.

Looking for some advise. I made some foam rocks covered in grout, left to dry 3 days. They came out nice. Then I tried to seal with polycrylic water base matte finish from minwax. However after one thin coat it dried milky white (and yes i stirred well). After 24 hours and no change i sanded and...

Yep our second attempt at a cage. We got some tile tonight that seems very textured. We keep his cage at 70 at night, so i wanted to make sure, the tile wouldnt be too cold covering the whole bottom. Thanks

I love all the viv with sand, but understand the risk. So in the process of making a new cage, 60x 24. I'd like to know what if anything can keep the tile from being cold anywhere not under a heat source? Also do you grout it in place? Thanks, ann

For the full two weeks he was moving about and acting like a normal lizard, so it wasnt just he was hungry that day. I will try and post pics. I feel it has to be something simple. Im wondering if something outside of his tank could cause such a behavioral issue. Maybe this could help others...
