Oh my!!!!!!! I LOVE this! I want to build an enclosure for Astrid at some point. My husband thinks I'm crazy! He's like - "I thought adopting this thing was for the kids." :roll: :lol:

Just posting to comment on your bearded's name! I "assume" Toothless comes from How to Train Your Dragon....? We have an Astrid! :D

Thank you for sharing that website - I like very basic instructions especially with my family's new friend until I learn even more & can navigate works best for our Astrid.

Thank you so much for your help and for helping me better understand exactly what I need for the 100 gallon where lighting is concerned. Hopefully I can pick up everything I need this week & move her in this weekend! Just one more question - you said that the UVB bulb length should be from 1/2...

Thank you so much for responding! They were giving her a bagged salad mix each day but I read that was not ideal so I've switched to a mix of collards and mustard greens. I'll check into some of the other insect suggestions. Roaches totally freak me out - if there's a such thing as a roach...

Hello! My family and I recently adopted a 2 year old female from another family whose boys had "outgrown" her. Her name is Astrid. She appears healthy. She's super sweet and has warmed up quickly to us. I've read so much about feeding that I'm not sure what's good information, bad information...
