Ha ha thats so funny, mine does that when shes eating her salads..........heaven forbid i actually "SEE" her liking it

@ShannyBeard & @reillyrebekahann Have you checked out Christene's website?? She makes custom harnesses and leashes. For beardie and Geckos as well. Sized to fit. Theyre awesome and safe. Then at least when the lizzard gets away from you youll be able to see the leash part sticking out...

Yes the light will disrupt their sleep possibly causing health issues in the long run. All i can suggest since you can not afford a CHE which is the utmost best for night time heat is some sort of heating device like............ Hot water bottles inside the viv at bed time (Theyll need to be...

Basically they need about an hour before meals and about two hours after meals under the heat lamp to ensure propper digestion. As long as this basic need is met, they can be out of the tank, if temps and weather permits. I totally agree on the benefits of natural SUNLIGHT, its amazing what it...

I cant say if he is average or not or estimate what size he will grow to............BUT Yes all babies differ regarding groth, some grow steadilly, and some will stand still or grow a little one month and then hit a groth spurt where theyre in basically constant shed for weeks on end and then...

Gulliver Christopher Collumbus (Name him Collumbus) He discovered the "New World" Amerigo Vespucci - America was named after this famous EXPLORER, you can call him Amerigo..........has a nice ring to it :D

From your description above the following comes to mind....you said she keeps "turning to the left" which indicates Roaming: Naturally turning toward the right side or left side. This is caused by a vitamin deficiency, and since your BD has had a multivit shot from the vet already i would give...

Pleasure Awwww look at the cute baby dragon. Hard to believe mine was EVER that small :wink:

All dragons differ regarding noise toleration. Some handle it well like mine (My house is very noisy and shes in a high traffic area) and others dont. Youll just have to wait and see and if it seems to be stressing him move him to a quieter place in the house and see if that helped. As for...

Babies are very very active, just be aware he may still have some relo stress for a few days. As for feeding, as much as he wants to eat in a 10-15 minute timespan 2-3 times a day. This can amount to anywhere between 50 and 100 crickets per day Just make sure the cricks are appropriately sized...

Babies and Juvies need all the protein they can get and that is a lot. Mine ate between 50 and 80 daily at that age and my friends (hes a piggy) ate around 120 a day. So unfortunately the 10-15 minute rule is how it should be done 2-3 times a day. Every day. The amounts can average anywhere...

Great stuff As for the humidity gauge....i dont use one, but a lot of people do. If you have money to spare and you want to then yes get one. But i would say temps and UVB are priority one right now. The rest can come with time

Yup 3 things stand out here for me also. No 1 is the compact coil UVB, they are known to cause eye issues which is why he may be keeping his eyes closed so much, they hurt. The best UVB are the linear tubes, and Repti sun is most recommended The 2nd is yiu keep saying the temps are "about" this...

15 Inches is small, does he have a tail nip? And how much is a couple hundred gramms? Mine is a normal beardie is 19 inches and weighs 580 grams

The best way is to have a fecal done at a vet to rule out parasites. Once a negative fecal is obtained check your husbandry, make sure it is spot on in every regard. Then and only then is it safe to let them brumate. Letting a sick dragon brumate can be deadly
