Hi there. I maybe be interested. Do you have any photos? I have a nice big enclosure ready with quality lighting. My older dragon recently passed right after I built a second one for a young female I adopted last year so I have a nice, big, well outfitted enclosure ready.

Hi all, I've had my guy for almost 2 years… got him form the local pet store at a few weeks old. He ate like crazy when he was young and swelled up to about 350 grams at about 8 months - the diet then was crickets and weekly greens, with 1 dusted feeding/day (5 calcium and 2 multi-vitamins...

I don't think there is an exact science to this. Depending on how much leakage your front doors have and how many times a day you open them I would think a few square inches of ventilation would be fine. Depending on your aesthetic preferences maybe a 2 medium sized cutouts covered with screen...

I did this when my guy was little. He loves the waxworms so I'd lure into my hand with one, then give him another after I picked him up. If he was a bit freaked when I put him back down I'd toss a worm in with him so he'd "forget" about the stress. Worked just fine but don't epect this to...

Well, mouth shedding was the cause. I came home today and the skin was all cracked up and peeling off. Thanks everyone. Brian

It's 3/4" ply from home depot. I actually used the precut project board material... It come ripped down to 2' x 4'. They aren't cut all that accurately - and though I new it - I didn't do anything to match them up so the whole thing isn't very square. That why there are trim pieces on the...

It cost $110 for the visit plus about $30 for the fecal test.

Hey folks, Some updated photos. Including my first fake rock: Regards, Brian

This is the first time I noticed, but my girlfriend says she saw this over the weekend. 1 to 5 days?

It's an 80 watt megaray, less than a month old I think. It replaced a 6 month old reptisun 10.

Well, I'm less concerned about not eating live food as I am about not eating much veggies or going to the bathroom I guess. Maybe I should have titled my thread differently. It sounds like both of your dragoons are still eating a bit and going to the bathroom daily/semi-daily? Brian

Hey All, I came home today and my 7 month old Beardie had some discoloration around his mouth. It's pink looking, doesn't clean up with water and I don't think it's staining from his food. I tricked him into opening his mouth and the gums are the normal pink color and his teeth seems fine. I...

I just worry sometimes, Momomo. We all made mistakes early on no matter how much research we did before committing to a pet, but sometimes people don't seem willing to make the adjustments needed. I'm not suggesting this person won't do so, but we'll have to see.

Hey All, I got my beardie at a few weeks old from the local Petco in August '12. Around 2 months ago, after eating crickets voraciously every day since I brought him home, he just stopped eating them. I'd been offering Kale, dandelion greens, bell peppers, green beans, and the occasional...

There is nothing harsh about pointing that out at all. If this was a dog no one would hesitate to point out that deliberately underfeeding it is simply neglect. Usernamesarehard, if you buy crickets at the pet store they are way more expensive than online. You can buy 500 or a 1000 crickets...
