"Lady" is beautiful,he looks a lot like Phoenix!!

I am happy to say that Little Lady has found a wonderful home with Lizard Love Rescue in Oregon,and we heard she is settling in nicely!

Lately we have noticed Phoenix dewlap has gotten very large, we figured he is maturing, but after comparing his dewlap to other male dragons, his dewlap seems especially large! He is 14-17 months (not sure, we bought him off CL last April when he weighed just 25g),he now is about 18" and weighs...

Here are a couple of pics,Phoenix is around 14-17 months,we have had him since last April,he weighs about 500g .

Phoenix has been doing the same thing,I am in Oregon,also and he really has slowed down since September. He went from pooping regularly every day to now maybe every 7-10 days,he has gone as long as 14 days without pooping. He is eating much less also,I think their entire metabolism just slows down!

Thanks for all the advice,I did talk to someone that runs a reptile rescue,she might be able to take the little beardie,if that falls through I will take her to House of reptiles in Tigard and talk to them. She does fall over on her back occasionally,like when she gets up on her piece of...

Thanks for all the replies,I did order a fixture rated for 25Watts,very happy about that,it wasn't easy to find!! Just like the previous post,I did hear back from Zoomed yesterday,they did respond very quickly within a couple of days : Thank you for contacting us. The wattage...

I don't know,I checked the bulb itself and it says "F25T8" on it,so I am assuming it is 25W,so I went ahead and ordered a fixture rated to 25W from Amazon and I am hoping for the best.I am thinking the worst thing that could happen is I could ruin the fixture,which is cheaper than the bulb.

I just purchased a Reptisun10 36" T8 bulb for our bearded dragon enclosure and I am having a hard time finding a proper fixture.Item #OS 36 (It's still the older version, not their new T5) After not being able to find the right fixture in local hardware stores, I did find one on Amazon that...

Phoenix is 6-8 months old and puts away 60-80 small dubias a day and eating greens.He is 13 inches and 116g now.

I just received an order from them today and was very happy,too.

Thank-you everybody for all the advice! Yes,I think we do need a taller tub,seems like every time we take some crickets out to feed our beardie, we end up chasing escaped crickets down on the kitchen floor,they are fast and they seem to eat so much more than baby dubias,too!! I think I'll...

I just found the post on cricket care and it said that crickets "thrive" in higher temperatures. Our house gets down to about 65 at night this time of the year,would they survive in temperatures that would fluctuate between 65 and 80ish?

Actually I was wondering about the same thing. I have tile but have thought about maybe adding a sand box when Phoenix is older since so many dragons seem to like to dig. I was wondering if maybe paper pellets would be ok,the kind that people use as kitty litter,I actually use them in our...
