Crap, wrong coast :(

What kinds have you tried? They are intrigued by brightly colored foods, so maybe try shredded carrots or some kind of fruit to get him started.

As far as I'm aware it makes no real difference. I'd just say paint it because the desert backgrounds are usually a pain to find, around here at least. Good luck!

Thanks for putting my worries to rest, guys. I came home from work and found him curled up sleeping under his bed, silly dragon.

The only thing I can say is you need to take everything someone at a pet shop tells you with a grain of salt. They really want you to buy that $20 bag of sand over an $8 terrarium liner. IMO, the sand has NOTHING to do with her not eating. Are you sure she isn't impacted? Try giving her a nice...

Thanks, and ouch. How much do you get each for?

I'd get a piece of cardboard and cut it to fit, then slip it in and tape it in place and move it as he grows, make sure it's the entire height of the tank! Also, if you put on a background it will make him feel more secure. Right now he is probably worrying that a predator could come from any...

Thanks a lot! That was the one aspect of my care I questioned, couldn't remember if it lasted 6 mos or a year. I'll order a new one asap.

He is probably just settling in to his new home and feels a little apprehensive. How old is ducky? If he's just a little guy you should divide the tank (You said 55, right?), because they can feel insecure in such a large environment.

Since yesterday Roger has been turning his beard black, but only when he's basking in his tank. When I take him out, he colors right up and he acts totally normal. He is eating, pooping, everything, but the black beard just makes me nervous. His only history of health problems was a small...

Awww, I'm glad for you and the dragon!

Well that's his bed, of course.

I wouldn't even screw them together, maybe just stack them. If you use MDF or any compsite material make sure to pilot drill all your screw holes or you'll split the material. If you wanted to get a 4 foot piece you could just slice it in half and use it separately. Good luck!

My UVB is a 36" reptisun 10.0, it covers the whole tank. The white strip on top of the viv is the fixture, its turned over towards the wall.

Are Dubias only recommended for adult dragons? They look like they have a pretty chitinous exoskeleton.
