Dee has been through about 3 owners before me, so I’m not positive exactly how old she is. I figure anywhere from 5-8 years old. She actually really likes her veggies, which is good. I know it’ll probably cost me a couple hundred to get her set up right, but once she is then it will be worth it...

Her name is Dee (was Demetrius but then I found out she might be a girl). And thank you guys so much. I am glad to see that I am at least on the right track. I have been able to change one of her lights so far and I have noticed that her behavior has changed since then. She sleeps better at...

Ya. I already found out that the red light is bad. I’m working on getting her a better set up. She gets lots of crickets. Superworms every now and again as treats. Lots of kale and mustard greens. I mix in lots of things for more variety and sometimes treats, like carrots, apple, mango, and some...

I don’t really blame the fact that I’m doing everything wrong on myself. I’ve never had a bearded dragon, so it’s all new to me. The owners before me didn’t really care about her either. They would feed her green beans from the can and only give her 50 crickets a month. Now, I know there are...

I think I figured out how to share pictures, so here is my little sleeping beauty. And yes, I know. Not supposed to use crushed walnut. Wish I knew before I bought a huge bag and opened it, but I know now and she hasn’t been impacted yet. I will fix it as soon as I can. She won’t let me pick her up.

The red light most definitely was keeping her up at night. I turned it off an hour ago and she’s sleeping now. She’s never fallen asleep this early before. Thank you so much for all your help. I made a list of better lights and things for her to go get as soon as I have the money. Let me run...

This was super helpful. Thank you. And I think you helped me figure something else out. The heat light is a red light, which I was told is supposed to stay on 24/7 by the original owners. She’s been so restless and up super late, so if I get rid of the red light then that should fix the problem.

I know there’s a thing on here that gives you the best way to light the enclosure. I’m gonna try and go to the pet store and figure it out. It is just so confusing though. Can someone explain to me what all kind of lighting I need? And when should the lights be off and what lights get shut off...

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I haven’t had my bearded dragon for a full year yet, so I’m new to everything. I have especially noticed since she woke up from brumating that she has been very active. It worries me sometime though because she seems to be up very late at night. I can’t figure...

Hey everyone. My girlfriend and I have had our beardie for about 8 months to one year. She’s about 8 years old from what I can piece together. The previous owners only had her for about a year and didn’t really take care of her, so I took her to at least try and give her a better home. I’m still...
