Aragon and I would like to send warm wishes to everyone! Hope you all have a happy holiday season.

She is definitely a beauty! Congrats.

So very sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Is this normal? He has just turned 5 months old, and has a ferocious appetite when it comes to his crickets - he eats like a pig, even his calcium dusted night meal. But, he has never been interested in greens and I've tried several different kinds. I did finally get him to eat a few bites of...

I do already have the 55 gallon set up, with a vertical basking ramp. As he is only 4 months old, he does have ample time before adulthood. So I will go ahead and move him up to the 55, and invest in a 40 gallon breeder before he hits full adult size. Thanks for the input!!

Aragon is now 4 months old and 10 1/2" from snout to tail. He has been in a 29 gallon since I got him at 4 weeks. I am wanting to upgrade him to his 55 gallon and use the reptile carpet, as opposed to the white paper towels he has been on. Is he old enough to move up? I will keep his big...

Keep it coming at them!!! :blob5: :blob8: I did go back to Petco and they had at least changed the water bowl so it is now too tall for them to drag the sand into and there was actually water in it. The enclosure was cleaner with much less poo in it, but they still had them on sand. I am...

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! But you can't be afraid to take a stand and sometimes that means fussing and carying on with a manager. I agree. The next time I go there, I will ask to speak with the store manager, not just the aquatic manager, let him see me taking cell phone...

I just came from my usual Petco store in North Kansas City, MO. Although I was there to buy dog and cat food, I can never go into any petstore without perusing the reptile section! To my dismay, they are now selling baby beardies. They had seven babies in a small enclosure and they were on...

Before my beardie I never thought I'd say, "How about a nice warm bath and then later we'll have some good old crickies." Or, "Let's burrito up in your blankie and go night-night" and "Come on sweetie, let's do a poopy for momma." If people in public heard what we say to our beardies...!! :D

There's no need to be offended. People have more than likely not responded because we don't have the answers you are looking for. You need to take into consideration, that the majority of us don't live in Australia and have NO idea what type of lights you have access to, and the lights you do...

You never have to ask me more than once to post pics of my baby!! This is a pic of his current enclosure. I have a 55 gallon set up for when he gets bigger. Here are pics of Aragon that I just took (he finished up a shed just this morning):

Thank you all so much, especially you Diane. I took the probe and put it right on his highest basking spot (his repti-hammock) for 45 minutes, and then put it on his basking log for 45 minutes. You were right on with the info. I feel like an ***** because it never dawned on me that the temps...

Right now, I have him in a 29 gallon tank. I took out the tape measure and I know have the light at 12" from his highest basking spot, and 13-14" from his normal basking branch spot. Fortunately, I don't have an issue keeping his cool side around 76-80, but still can't get the basking side...

It is the 100 watt, and I use a digital therm with the wire and probe. And no, the light itself is not a minimum of 12" from where he actually basks. Like I said, when I put it higher, his temps fell and wouldn't get higher than 86. What should I do, please???
