Hey all, So I'm going on vacation Saturday night and will be gone just under a week so I have my family looking after baldr. My only concern is that he seems to have lost his crazy appetite as of late. He hasn't been eating a ton of worms like usual, but will eat if I put the worms in front...

Screamin99, To paint the melamine i sanded it lightly, applied 2 coats of a primer (did it first without primer and paint wouldn't hold to melamine), did 3 coats of water-based low VOC paint, then about 3 layers of gorilla wood glue (same non-toxic stuff I used as a sealant for my beardies...

I moved Baldr into his new viv yesterday and this morning his stool was pretty solid but had alot of clear liquid (water?) after it. Also, he seems to be puffing out his beard alot. Temps are good and his stress marks are almost non-existent. Also, he just finished a shed last week. Got him...

Yeah my girlfriend painted it. Turned out nice.

i thought the whole point of feeding BD's reptiworms was that they were high in calcium compared to crickets? ill start dusting the worms with vitamins 2 days a week though.

Baldr's new viv. finally finished it left side right side

So I'm just about done with my crossfire viv. I bought a dual Outdoor flood light fixture at home depot, along with 2 extension cords to splice for the wiring, but what bulbs should/can I use to give off enough heat in this fixture? (I also have a t8 fixture with the reptisun 10.0 and an...

I recently switched my beardie over to reptiworms from crickets. Do I ever need to use the dusted calcium or vitamin supplements on the worms like I did the crickets?

That does sound pretty small for that age. I got my beardie from Petco like 2 months ago ( so I assume he's between 3-4 months old) and he's about 9-10 inches. Your 12 inch beardie may be average to slightly small but the 7 inch, to me, sounds way too small for 7 months. Then again I'm no...

Ok so I've done 2 coats of the polycrylic over the stone spray paint of my styrofoam rock (after a few layers of grout/grout sealer). Starting to smell a stronger odor with this second coat, supposedly I need to give it 1-2 weeks before putting it in the viv. I'm thinking of just trying...

Wow, those are gonna be some beautiful babies. You're making me want to get another beardie!!

Anyone else use polycrylic sealant? On the label it says water based but then says vapor harmful. I don't smell any vapors after a few hours of open air on it and other herp sites have recommended it. It also doesn't say anything about max temps once dry. Anyone else familiar with this stuff?

Give him time. Did u use a weatherproof sealant over the paint? If your bd poops in the cage at all (ie on the fake rock) you'll need to do that. I wouldn't think you need a water based paint if you're gonna have to seal over it anyway. I used the rock-like spray paint after grouting and...

Have you thought of building the crossfire enclosure? I'm just like you, I thought there's no way I can build a birdhouse, let alone a reptile enclosure but it's actually not too difficult and really fun. Plus it's going to be pretty cheap for supplies and you can tweak it here and there to make...

Thank you for replying. I've been building this viv for like a month, little by little and I'm getting close to the end so when my light fixture was the wrong one I started to get frustrated. Hopefully I can find a t8 fixture at home depot where I got the t5 one. Thanks again!
