Thanks, i was worried about the food issue, but she doesnt seem to be loosing weight so i guess its okay :D

So lately, my dragon Venus has been sluggish and only sleeps most of the day. I know this is due to brumation, but she refuses to go into her cardboard hide, which has a blanket, so is it okay to place her in there and just leave her alone? She perks up when i take her out while im doing things...

No, just for the hide box. It wont be getting wet, in theory, at least. The beardie is supposed to go in the hay box during nights where she can burrow down and sleep. I thought it would be stimulating for her to be able to burrow in to sleep, and it'll keep her warm. I know tortoise owners that...

I'm thinking of doing a thing similar to what tortoise owners do where they have a wooden box full of hay or a bunch of towels. I'm leaning towards hay because then my beardie can burrow down in it. My size is probably going to be around 6 ft by 4 ft by 5.5 ft so if I ever get a male beardie, I...

He really like blueberries, so I'm giving him those until i can get some mangoes

Also, are there any good plants for my beardie to munch on that I can put in? I can take them inside during winter.

Hi, I am currently building an outdoor enclosure for my beardie, and I was browsing through pictures and I saw a lot of people used hardwood mulch, the big chunks. I was wondering if that was an OK substrate for them, if I sterilize it. My beardie will be fed in a separate tub, so will it be...

Not my gecko, apparently. He refuses to eat any repashy now that he has identified crickets. He also really enjoys mealworms, phoenix worms, pretty much any living thing that can fit in his mouth.

I guess I'm going for the silkworms because my beardie refuses to eat anything but greens, not any fruit :(

Thanks, I was super worried (no pun intended). Maybe hornworms? I know mulberry farms is out of silkworms because I checked this morning. What about great lakes hornworms?

Hi, not sure I should be here. I went to check on my beardie just now, and there was poop everywhere. It looked mostly like superworm chitin, but I have fed her superworms for a long time and nothing like this has ever happened. The beardie queen is fine and is chilling out on the log, but...

How much do you think the plywood cost versus the melamine? I liked the melamine because it had a nice clean look with the white. And should I treat the plywood with something like shellac? Thanks

Hi, I am planning to build a new cage for my beardie Venus. It hopefully will be about 48X24X18. I read some stuff that said melamine was toxic, and some that said it was great, and I'm very confused right now, so could somebody please help me?? Thanks.

I remember reading about freezing in REPTILES magazine. Apparently, it forms ice crystals in the brain, which, obviously, is excruciatingly painful. You should definitely call the police or animal control

Still, fence lizards are active and interesting little guys! Be careful, they can be a bit feisty sometimes. Best of luck
