I would be careful around small children. My 7 month old baby got salmonella from my beardies. We wash our hands after handling but we can only assume she got it because of them climbing on us or on the floor and couches. Or cleaning them and their things in the kitchen sink. After her being...

You guys rock!! I had never heard of them before!

SWEET!! Thank you so much!

I saw somewhere on this site that someone got water crystals at a craft store and I went to look for it and can't find that thread. Is this true? If so I need to make a run to Hobby Lobby anyways and thought I'd pick some up if someone could tell me what to look for. Thanks!!!

oh duh!! Sorry lack of sleep from sick baby. :puke: :puke: Got my parts confused. But now I'm second guessing myself and will have to check my girls in the morning when they wake up to make sure. LOL :oops:

Looks girl to me...if thats boy parts then I sexed mine wrong. LOL

Both my babies do the same thing...I thought it was from the red basking bulb but I changed that to a regular white house bulb and they still do it. I'm curious as to what could be the problem as well....

I thought so! Thank you!

Thanks for the great info! My one last question is if they are so fast how do I catch them? With crickets I just grab one of the rolls of empty to and shake and then scoop out what they don't eat. Would it be the same?

Hi, I have a 15 gallon tank (building 2 bigger ones soon) for my girls. They are about 7 inches long, not sure of age. I have a red basking bulb in the tank as that is what the pet store told me to get. I also have a florescent tube light for ambient lighting and am waiting on the powersun...

So I'm going to be starting a colony of roaches and saw that one site had Dubia's and Turkistans and was wondering the difference? All I've been reading about is Dubia but Turkistans seem cheaper? I'm new to all this but trying to be cost effective as well and give my beardies what they need...

I had the same question! Great advice and will be trying the t-shirt idea! I tried hand feeding but they won't take any food from me yet :(

Thanks for the great advice! The pet store did not mention this when we bought our two girls (we think :?: ) They are always on top of each other and I thought they did it because they wanted to not because one was trying to dominate the other...We are building a new cage so now instead of 1...

Lenny is very cute! Sorry to hear he wasn't feeling well but glad he's on the mend. :D I have two beardies, pretty sure they are girls but still too young to tell I think. I take them out daily and hold them but I'm afraid to let them explore on their own....How did you start to do this...

Gorgeous Dragon!! Sounds like your doing great. Do you buy or breed your dubias? I'm going to switch from crickets soon and start my own colony of dubia...I'm a bit freaked by it but the crickets wierd me out too :shock:
