    new enclosure

    yeah he wasn't very happy when i woke up this morning but gave him some food and put him on the other side of the tank to show him all the room he's got and once he realized it was his new home he wouldnt stop wondering around i haven't seen him so active in months, in the 55gal. tank i had him...

    new enclosure

    i finally found a 4x2x2 enclosure online for quite a good price for my lizard, i just had a question as to whether it will be a problem for him since the basking/hot area of the tank is set up for the opposite end? really im just wondering if i should expect any relocation stress for a few days...

    Alternative Foods?

    i'm pretty sure you could feed him some small superworms if you want, they're pretty healthy for your beardie but if you could try and get pheonix worms theyre very high in calcium and protein, my beardie didnt take to the pheonix worms or the superworms though. bugs i found they'd go insane...

    changing over to silkworms?

    i've been debating over the past couple weeks to change my staple food for icarus from crickets to silkworms, he seems to love them much more and is not so interested in crickets anymore. feeding wise would it still be the same eat as many in 10-15 minutes as possible? or should i just give him...

    winter's coming

    i looked for quite some time to find the right answer to my question but couldn't, so this is the first winter for icarus and i and i was really wondering what i should be prepared for. i know i should bring his light cycle gradually down to 12/12 but what about the heat? should i try and keep...

    Just wanted to be 100% sure on this...

    my honest opinion would be never ever use sand. it can and most likely will cause impaction when ingested, maybe not now but later. i use a combo of reptile carpet and tile, there's no way theyre gonna eat any of that and the tile will keep their nails filed down a bit. i had sand in my tank...

    getting cold

    so with winter approaching here in canada i want to be ready for my beardie, with the lower temperatures outside and in my house i'm sure the overall temperature of his enclosure will lower as well. now to counter-act that, should i use a stronger uvb (i currently use a 120w exo-terra mvb) or a...

    Ran out of livefeed

    you should be giving them a salad every day to leave in their tank, if you dont have live feeders for the morning he may just eat the salad or might not since he's young he just might want live food, one skipped feeding won't hurt him much but just a word of caution my bearded dragon eats...

    My crazy Beardie in the morning!

    icarus does that too, he won't come out if he's still covered for hours even i learnt that on a day off where i decided to sleep in. all i do now is just pull back his little blanket past his neck before i go to bed around one in the morning, then he just feels the heat in the morning and gets...

    Clipping toe nails

    i use a normal nail clipper and i just do it when they're too sharp, you just cut off the little point and no further in, you can tell where the quick(i dont know if its called this on beardies but its the same on dogs) is on their nails quite easily and just cut right under it.

    MVB problem

    i believe i've got the biggest lamp dome around here for the light, just the convex part of the bulb is sticking out. you say that the mvb bulb needs to be placed facing directly down towards him? not clamped onto the side facing at an angle? sorry just confirming that so i can build a little...

    MVB problem

    i use a exoterra 125w mvb bulb for my lizard's uva/b output but i had a question about their durability; my ceramic lamp fixture is clamped onto the top of his viv, but it just isnt clamped on very well and sometimes will just pop off and the mvb will land on the screen, now it kinda sounds like...

    In the corner while basking

    i'd highliy suggest investing in a digital thermometre the dial ones dont give proper temperature readings, you might find out your temperatures are off and that couuld be the problem if htere is one
