I just got a new bearded dragon, and when i handled him at the reptile expo he was extremely calm but as soon as i brought him home and put him into his home he went crazy, he has been attacking/scratching at the plexi glass doors for hours, he also won't let me touch him. Is this normal, if so...

To tell you the truth if have seen many posts similar to these on the forums and i pretty much have the same reply to all of them. If your vet is a herp vet and says he is fine i can promise you he is. He is a beautiful dragon, i really like the orange and brown colors he has on him. Not all...

Is it normal for a bearded dragon to like to hide under his log alot, he is very active but many times i find him under his log or in his cave before lights out, is this normal?

The same rule applies to any type of feeder, as many as they can eat in 5-10 minutes. Just make sure your dragons are old enough to handle a goliath, those worms can get really big.

Does anyone know a place in texas where i could buy feeder insects such as crickets, meal worms, or possibly silk worms for my bearded dragon.

No one meal worm would not be a problem, but i would not suggest feeding her them as the are high in chitin which is hard for lizards to digest. But inorder for my to figure out what is wrong can you please answer these basic questions. (the first thing i noticed though is you said you are...

do not listen to him, while he is right they prefer cooler temps it is not true that that the temps should be in the 70s. let me ask you this since when does it get 70 degrees in the day even if you were in the shade. an dif you have any doubts about the infered light you can use a black heat...

I might suggest just using a 50-75 watt infered heat light because infared heat lights are not to bright and produce alot less heat then a basking light, but i think it would produce just enought heat to get the cool side up into the 80's. Another good thing about using an infered heat light is...

Well first of all if your temps on the cool side are low 70's you need to add another heat source because the cool side should be around 85 during the day and 75 at night.

Kk, I would use an 18 inch reptisun 10.0 uvb tube for the rest of the cages lighting you can by the bulb online or at a pet store, but it would by the lighting fixture(the thing that holds the bulb) at any home improvment store to save some $$$ make sure to bring in the bulb when you go to the...

kk for starters you need to make sure you have a uvb light for the tank, the basking bulb only puts out heat and uva, lizards need uvb light inorder to grows properly and have strong bones. For a uvb light i would suggest a reptisun 10.0, you can buy them cheap on ebay or at petmountain.com. The...

I am wondering if it is okay for me to use a 100watt powersun mercury vapor bulb made by zoomed as my basking light. It would be about 18 inches away from my beardie, and my viv is about 4x2x2. also what kind of temps would a 100watt mercury vapor bulb create at 18 inches.

Backround info How old is your dragon? about two months i think How long have you had your dragon? 3 weeks How long is your dragon? 8 and 1/2 inches What is the sex of your dragon? male What size enclosure do you have your dragon in? at the moment a 30 gallon What type substrate do you have on...

I use a reptisun 10.0 made by zoomed, the basking spot is 110 and the cool side is 85. And i used a digital probe made by eexoterra to take the temps, i have one probe on each side of the tank.
