If you've got a petsmart you can basically buy the item, test it out and return it if you don't like it. So long as you have your receipt and the original packaging (try not to tear it all up when you open) you're golden :) I've returned many a stupid reptile accessory that was a great idea at...

I agree Exo Terra makes some of the worst quality stuff out there. Most of the gimmicky type reptile things don't work half as well as they say they do. They say they solve some sort of problem but rarely do they ever. In the end, simple is better. I would suggest shopping at Petsmart if you...

First I have a question :?: :?: :?: does your beardie have a hide? If he doesn't have someplace dark to hide in that may be why he is burrowing. If he has a hide and is still at it then maybe he is trying to dig. I personally have seen the difference sand can make to a dragon who likes to...

Because of the heating and special lighting the humidity is lower in your viv than in the house. I live in Washington where our humidity is usually 50%+ and have never had an issue with humidity. So long as your dragon isn't getting sick you should be fine

I would move it. It isn't bad to move things around. Most beardie parents find rearranging their vivs very rewarding. Some dragons will go through a bit of relocation stress if you rearrange major parts of the viv but at most he wouldn't eat for few days to a week. Sometimes change is good...

Maybe he's telling you "Hey! That's MY house!". From my experience dragons are very possessive!

heights may make him feel insecure. Relative to his size, 3 or 4 feet in the air can be pretty scary!

There is a great thread with tons of helpful info on breeding supers. viewtopic.php?f=76&t=100703 I've started my own colony with the info provided there. I'm up to about 30 beetles, waiting for my other aliens to finish morphing. All my beetles morphed within the last week or so so it's still...

I wouldn't suggest using this is a staple. None of what comes in that is a good staple item for your dragon. Check out this list if you haven't already http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html If you read the blurbs at the top it gives you good info on what kind of nutritional...

I have to hand feed Bob his greens most of the time. This habit was started by his previous owners. He wasn't handled much and most of his human contact was by hand feeding so it's been tough to break him of this. Most of the time he won't touch his green unless I feed them to him :roll:

Are you running the water while the dragon is in the bath? If so that may be the problem as most dragons don't like running water. Dragons are funny creatures and it could be one simple thing that they don't like. Maybe it's too hot or too cold or maybe your dragon needs a rock to sit on to feel...

If you just got him a few days ago he could be going through a bit of relocation stress from his move. Even if you knew the dragon before, the change in his environment and moving can really stress them out causing your dragon not to eat or even not to move around a lot. He may need a few days...

UTH aren't advised for beardies because the don't sense the heat under them as well and can easily burn their belly. I'd suggest using basking lamps instead.

Well, day 9 on my superworm project and I have 3 "aliens". Only had one at the start of the day, but by noon I had 2 more. I'm expecting quite a few of the other ones that are curled up should be turning in the next day or so. Aliens are so creepy looking :shock:

Perfect! I'm glad that worked out well for you! I'd suggest giving them a bath once a week at least. It's a great way to keep them hydrated and good for their skin :)
