I want to thank everyone for the advice. I got my Zippy back in Nov when he was about 4" long. Here it is 7mo later and he's over 18", very friendly and my 7 year old loves him. Special thanks to Barbara, what a great person! :D
Hi Sabrina, welcome to BD.org :D I'm new to Beardies too but have found lots of help in caring for our little guy. Fresnowitte2 aka Barbara has been wonderfull. She has helped me alot. I hope you get a chance to talk to her. She's a wealth of info. She even has a two headed Beardie.
Welcome...
I live in California and have a baby, ( about 8" long) too. Welcome to BD. org. Please feel free to ask any questons. I have found the help here incredible and have made friends too.
Hello from California....Mike, Lisa, Kat, Chel's and "zippy" :D
A friend wrote me back and said it is normal. She is a wealth of knowledge. Even said she puts little "blankets" in for her beardies. "They're just puppies with scales". :D I'm going to give it a try. I'll let you know.

Hi Abi
The temp's are around 70 to 75 at night. I do use a small IR light at night on the "heated side" and nothing on the cold side which stays around 65 t0 70.

My little guy curls up in a corner at night. Sometimes close to the heat source and sometimes far away. But always on the bottom of his enclosure. Is this normal?

Thanks for the link's Barbara. Really great prices on feeders. Beats the heck out of Petsmart. Nice hammock Christine. Just shows what a person can do when they set their mind to it. We still have to name the little guy, we're about 90% sure its a he. As all of you have advised I have taken out...
Thanks to all. I went to the web site Lizard-Landscapes and was blown away. My daughter and I are going shopping and we are going to try a few ideas. :D
Thanks again!
Mike
I just got my first dragon. It is very small but very active and what an appetite! My seven year old daughter loves it. We don't know what sex it is as it's too young. Any inside help on raising it would be great.
My name is Mike and I'm 49. My daughters name is Katrina. We have a 55 gallon tank...
