Darn...I was really hoping that was the ticket. I just find myself throwing so much away cause i cant always stop at the store every other day to get food and stuff. Anyone know any tricks? Or any specific fruits that are easy to prep and seem to last a decent amount of time? BTW I liked...

Yeah thats kinda how i felt. They are kinda like owning a large dog. It all depends on how you raise them as to how their attitude is later. Another question for owners out there. I have to get a state permit for a monitor...which is understandable, but the stupid mayor in this hick-town put...

I wanted to find a way to get fruit for my BD which i have named Michota (in memory of a friend that passed). Problem i was having was waste. I'd buy fruit and hes still small so i'd throw 80% of the fruit away. So i bought the little prepackaged fruit cocktail cups for kids. I know their...

I know this is sorta off topic. But ive always had a fascination with monitor lizards like the savannah monitor and the black throat. I started wtih a BD to get used to the reptile-owner way of life. Anyone out there know anyone with a monitor?...and if raised as a baby are they friendly...

My beardie was digging alot when i first got it. Then i got this cool little desert like hut to hide in and he promptly dug 99% of the sand out from inside the little house and hides in there with his face sticking out watching me in my room occasionally he'll dig elsewhere but i guess he just...

Ok so not really a basking spot... my new beardie which i have yet to name (but i have a few ideas) was layin with me on my bed after work on my chest. As he walked around he promptly spread himself out and laid down right where you can feel my heart beat on my rib cage and proceeded to fall...

What should i use to seal this tile up? Reason i ask is because i do not have a spare tank to place my BD in while doing all this. Im sure i could whip something up with a clamp light and some sort of box, but i dont really want to have him out of the cage for a whole day incase i have to do...

Are fruits good for BD's? I know veggies and stuff are good...just havent seen many people posting about fruit. Any certain kinds that are better/worse than others?

I was just thinkin the same thing about the size of the worms. My BD, which ive only had for like 3 days so far doesnt seem too thrilled with crickets at all. I just took him out of the cage to try and feed him crickets in an enclosure where the crickets cant hide and he just wanted out of the...

Yeah im just nervous about him runnin around cause i dont want him getting into my closet or something where i cant get to him. He just relaxes on my shoulder usually when i put him there. Or on the back of the computer chair i sit in near his tank.

The guy at the pet store (Its a privately owned one that seemed to be pretty decent) said it was a male. I know theirs ways to tell but Im really not sure to tell ya the truth... They actually had a UVB bulb with all their reptiles. They even had a Black Throat Monitor which in my opinion...

What would be a good percentage to try and keep it at? I am pretty good about watching it but when i go to work it tends to get a little low on the basking side of the tank...The cool side usually sits around 20%

I snapped a photo tonight after i got home from work and took my BD out of the cage. He seems to be pretty content hanging out on my shirt. Im thinking its cause my body is warm. What are stress marks on BD's? I understand the concept but it'd be nice to know if hes stressed or not. I still...

Well I'm glad its normal...well normal for bd's. Should I give him time before handling him?

My BD still a baby, about 10in. and is sorta perched up on his tail and hind legs laying against the glass. It's his first night in the enclosure so i thought maybe it was him just being stressed and trying to get out, explore, etc. I turned off his heat lamp and UV light cause its starting to...
