Thought I should come back for an update. Little guy is now in a 40 breeder tank($1 gallon sale!) and doing excellent! He was at first having some problems with not eating and closing his eyes. I found the Exo-Terra CFL bulb to be the culprit. Replaced it with a 36" Repti-sun 10.0 T5 and he...

I have that nutrition chart posted right next to my feeding calendar. I went last night and bought every staple item on the list that I could get from Wegmans. So far Lizzy is loving her salads today. She has ate 3 small food dishes full. I have been giving him two baths a day because when I...

I got him on the 13th. They said they were feeding them crickets every other day and mealworms every other day. Apprarently at the store they keep 5 or 6 of these guys together and just throw in 10 or 15 crickets and let them free for all. And they supply a piece of tomato to eat on as well...

So i got my newest beardie because my sister inlaw bought him at petsmart. I have been offering crickets and greens every day but he only will eat about 5 crickets a day and no greens at all. After reading some other threads I now fear he isnt getting enough to eat. How do I go about...

Already copied that list and printed it out to put next to my feeding calendar. Roaches are out of the question as they creep out the wife. I am looking to put in an order for the link below to supplement the little guy instead of all crickets. He is offered greens and fruits daily but wont...

Forgot to mention I live in town so we have chlorine in our water among other chemicals. I gave him two baths today for about 10 min each. He doesnt seem to mind the water as much as Lizzy.

Currenly using a 50watt Halogen Mini Dome. I am able to get the proper thermal gradient in the 10 gallon tank. His basking side is 95-104 and his cool side with his greens is 78-85. I use a handheld temp gun to take the temps as i dont trust the small thermometers from the pet shop. I also have...

In january 2013 i rescued my first scaly pal, an american alligator, Prometheus who is about a 2 years old and 29 inches long snout to tip of tail now but was very badly taken care of and only 18 inches when i got him. The day after bringing him home i went to pick up everything needed to make...
