He was ok, juyst a bit sluggish for a few days. I think the concentration of the oil on this particular type of basil was too much for him in such a large amount. As for having a green thumb - not really! lol I am just big into nutrition for all my animals, and try to make sure they have a...

Hi guys! Just a quick question... Is cinnamon basil safe for beardies to eat? I let Ridley out in my garden to eat in a patch of greens and herbs I grow. There are a lot of loose leaf veggies there, and I like to give him the choice of what to eat and taste. There are greens like dandelion...

Hi there! I've been using MVBs for a while now, so maybe I can answer your questions... 1. What's the best type/brand of Mercury Vapor Bulb? Is Powersun good? (It should be reasonably priced) All MVBs are a little more expensive then florescents as far as I know. The best is Mega Ray, they...

I have looked around online, but only found 2 places that sold in that quantity, and then it was only nymphs, not including breeding adults.

What do you think would be a reasonable price (not including shipping) for an established breeding colony of 1,000 dubia? What about just 1k mixed nymphs (mostly on the larger side)?

I wanted to get new tile for the bottom of my dragon's tank, but I'm curious as to where everyone else is getting theirs cut? Home Depot, Menards and Lowe's don't offer that service, and I don't have a wet saw available to do it myself. Help?

Yep, they're in the flooring area. They have some boxes where like 5-10 tiles are bundled, but they also have some singles, and if you ask, they'll open a box and sell them to you piece-meal as well. It took us a while to go through the tiles as a lot of lower quality slate has "corruption"...

I got the tiles from Home Depot. They are like $1 a piece, and I used 4. I just put a dish towel over them and hit them with a hammer to break them up, and also used the hammer to blunt any sharp edges. It's a bit of a pain to jigsaw them all together, but I like the look better then plain...

I need a bowl like that. Where did you get yours?

That is a really pretty dragon, and an excellent name! I second the above poster's suggestion of roaches. Variety is best, but roaches and crickets are the most common stable feeder insect.

They are really crunchy, so they're not optimal, but they won't hurt him either. They aren't poisonous or anything. Ridley has gotten a hold of a few that I can never find in his cage once they come out as beetles. They are *very* crunchy and I hear it echoing around in his tank. >.>

It's super easy to clean. It's still just slate, so wipes up. Wort thing that can happen if that I have to take a piece out and rinse it. XD

Haha. Well, just because he ate a little, keep on limiting his buggs till you are sure that he's eating *enough* of his salad!

Yes, baby dragons eat a TON. But baby dragons in a new place might not. :) They all have different amount of time to get adjusted before that appetite kicks in! As long as he looks alert and healthy, as long as you are offering him bugs twice daily, then you are doing the right thing. :)...

No idea if they are safe for beardies, but I fed my dove eggs to my rats hard boiled. They loved them.
