How did I fix it to the glass? Tape. It was bigger than I needed because they only sold it by the foot so I had to shave off a few inches with a razor blade.

Here's my guy enjoying the view in his new viv

YAY!!! That was fast, got it today and cut it down to size. I have to say, I like it. And I think he does too. Here he is enjoying the scenery. What? Leave me alone, I was daydreaming!!!

Yeah, the roman ruins are pretty nice, I've never seen that used before for a background. I had a hard time finding one tall enough for my tank too. All the ones I kept finding were all 12" tall and I was starting to lose hope and was considering going ahead and getting the smaller sized...

oh, LOL yes, much better. I was thinking it was an equation or something, I'm so brainless. Okay so I'll go by the walmart today and pick up one of those thermometers after I get off work and then come home and order the new UVB tube.

What does that mean? I have the heat emitter on 24 hours a day and my sticky thermometers rarely read more than 95 on the basking side of the tank and 70-75 on the cool side during the day and I havent thought to check at night but he usually sleeps on top of his log right underneath the heat...

The tank is 19" tall and his basking spot is about 12" from the lights. I know he should probably be able to bask closer to the light, but I keep the screen off the tank because it doesn't close all the way with the clamps for the lamps in the way. He tries to "climb" the glass so I keep his...

I'm wondering if the lights I have are up to code for my beardie. The tank I had before was only 22 gallons and now he's in a 40 gallon tank I got from my aunt that she used for my cousins tortoises while they were babies and the tanks been sitting in the garage for two years since the tortoises...

How long should I wait before caving in and giving him feeders again? I just tossed like 10 crickets in there the other day and theres two left that he's ignoring or they're just really good at evading him. What are some tasty fruits and veggies I could start with? So far I just bring home...

Okay so I ended up ordering online from Herpsupplies.com after driving around to all the reptile stores I could find within a 15 mile radius (which is about 3 stores). Its ridiculous to me that NOBODY carries any terrarium backgrounds aside from the foam inserts. Anyway, heres what I picked...

my dragon hasnt shed AT ALL since I brought him home back in october. Has he reached his growth limit? He's 16 inches long from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. I don't know how old he is and I keep him hydrated and bath him regularly. Also, he refuses to "go" unless its outside or...

I keep my supers in a cricket keeper full of cricket food and put a wet cotton ball in there so they dont eat each other. It seems to work since I've been finding fewer hollow bodies since I started adding the cotton ball. Before adding a new batch from the store, I'll sift the entire contents...

Oooh, like actual wall covering? Interesting, I hadn't even considered that. I don't think my landlord would like that much though. Maybe a poster or something. I'll check it out, thanks so much for that idea!

Yeah, thats what I'm looking for. All they've got stocked is the double sided stuff at petco and petsmart with the underwater scene on one side and either solid blue or black on the other side. There was one with dinosaurs but I wasn't feeling it.

Where can I find a wider selection of backgrounds for my beardies tank? I've been to petco and petsmart and all they ever seem to have in stock is aquarium plant backgrounds for fish. I'd like a scenice desert background as opposed to a closeup wall of rock if possible.
