Haha, will do! :D Now that I've changed him over to a front-opening enclosure, rather than a top-opening one, I'm really hoping falling stones (or anything else, for that matter) won't be a problem anymore! Thank you again for all your help!

Hello, Thank you Tracie! He ate all of his salad today, which I think is a pretty good sign, so I think he's doing pretty well. I let him run around my room a bit yesterday, and he didn't seem to be off balance or having vision trouble or anything of that sort. He's no longer acting...

Hi, thank you so much for your response. I have been watching him over the past couple of days, and he seems to be okay. The only thing I've really noticed is that he didn't seem too enthused about going after his crickets today, but he hasn't had those in a while (I usually feed worms) so it...

So today I was taking a few items out of George's tank in preparation for his move into a new tank...as I was taking some of his rocks out one slipped out of my hand and fell on George's head! :( I think it scared him more than anything else, but I'm so worried about the possibility of a...

Hi. That should be fine. I would just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't fall or anything (although I doubt it will).

Just try to keep an eye on her as much as you can. It could've just been a one-time thing, in which case there isn't anything to worry about.

Hi. Yes, moving things around in the tank can sometimes cause a stressed reactions in dragons. It may just take your pet a little while to get used to the new surroundings. However, I do have a question about her rolling over on her back after her bath - have you ever seen her do this before...

That UV bulb looks a little too close to the platform, in my opinion. I'm pretty sure that a dragon should ideally be able to get 6-8" from the UV light (someone please correct me if I'm wrong); where you have it now looks like less than 2 inches. I doubt this would be very good for the dragon...

Hi. It is really not at all advisable to have more than one dragon in any size enclosure. Beardies can be very territorial and can fight with/harm each other. Even if they do not outwardly appear to be showing aggression, one can still be dominating the other in more subtle ways, and this can...

Ah, gotcha. Thanks Taterbug!

She's very cute, I love that picture of her with the bear! I agree though, allowing her to have complete darkness without colored lights might really help her calm down at night.

Hi, congratulations on your new dragon! :blob5: For substrate a lot of people on here prefer to use something solid like slate tile, paper towels, or newspaper. Loose substrate like sand is not really recommended, since it carries too many risks like impaction, bacteria, and eye problems...

Regular baths in lukewarm shoulder-deep water is probably the best way to keep them hydrated. They won't always drink the water, but they do take it in through their vents so leaving them in for 10-15 minutes is probably a good idea. As for being able to tell when they are dehydrated, I think...

It could be that she likes your body heat. I know my dragon likes to sleep curled up on my neck with his head under my chin - I imagine it's warm and it helps keep the lights out of his eyes. It's awesome that she already feels safe enough with you to fall asleep all snuggled in your hand like...

Sounds like a plan! Good luck with your new baby! :D
