So a little frustrating update...he wants no crickets, at all. I am about to release all the crickets in the big tub, they're just gonna die anyway at this rate. I bought superworms, and he won't touch them. Why I bought 250 of them, I don't know, LoL. Optimism I guess. I bought a dozen...

Followup questions.... 1. I have the Reptisun 10.0 tube (24") that I'm thinking of replacing even though its only 4 mos old, just in case that's causing a problem of some kind...question: I have the High Output bulb...is there a "regular" output version of this bulb? Which should I be using...

Okay, some specs, first.... How old is your dragon? Roughly 9 months...not exactly sure. How long have you had your dragon? 4 months. How long is your dragon? 18 inches. What is the sex of your dragon? Not certain, but I think male. What size enclosure do you have your dragon in? 40-gal...

Oh, and yes, I've considered early brumation, but I'm not sure. I thought they shouldn't lose weight with brumation.

Hi all...haven't posted here in a while, as all's been good till now, but now we're worried. Blaze is my son's beardie, we're new beardie owners and have only had him since April. We got him from Petco, so weren't sure of exact age but when we got him he was about 9-10 inches so we guessed...

Funny you're in Louisiana...I'm in California but order my crickets from Louisiana. :) I'm a new beardie owner (since early April) and Blaze (about 7 mos old) eats about 40 crickets a day, so I buy 500 at a time shipped to me. After a rough start, I've got a pretty good cricket setup: I got...

So we've had Blaze for almost a month now...so far so good overall. :-) He's eating us out of house and home...he likes phoenix worms, but LOVES crickets. We just got our second box of 500 crickets in the mail, wow! Did much better "handling" the transfer of crickets from shipping box to...

Beardie owner less than a month...so thanks for your patience! Blaze is roughly 6 months old, a little over 10 inches long. He seems healthy overall, but there has been a fairly sudden change in his poop the last few days. Bear with me while I describe it, LOL. For the first few weeks we had him...

Thanks for the replies! I do have a light stand still in the box, so maybe I'll try to put the 150w bulb a little higher...or I actually also have a dimmer I might try for that first and leave it where it is. Right now its sitting on the screen top. I'm going to try removing the daylight bulb...

Hi all, I introduced myself and our new 5-mo old beardie a few days ago. So far so good, I think, but I have a few questions (total newbie!) and figured I'd ask here rather than in different specific forums - please bear with me. 1. We have a 40B glass tank for him (18x17x36, I think?)...

NoName has a name! "Blaze" Definitely a shed starting. Gray tail, gray patches back of neck and back. We've done two baths so far (every other day), and he's not crazy about them, but at least he gets wet for a bit. He's ho-hum about veggies - his boy has been hand-feeding him so he's...

Okay, so its actually my son's beardie, but.... We are completely new to the reptile world (only pets we've ever had are cats and a goldfish!), so this has been quite a learning experience so far, with surely more to come as we've only had this one since yesterday. We picked this one up at...
