I checked the Facebook page expecting to be appalled . . . but I'm not. In only saw juvie that might be a bit underweight. I saw a lot of really nice looking beardies that I'd be more than happy to plunk down cash for. I don't like that the babies are kept on sand. But, my beardie came from a...

Wonderful. :) Greens definitely aren't a problem with this guy. Bugs are a problem with this guy. But, it was so difficult to get him eating salad that I hate to take it away from him. He has lost weight (he's 300 grams at 18.5" long), so I've resorted to sneaking chicken baby food and vitamins...

Can you get a 20" T5 UVB 10% or 12% bulb? Are you planning to use it for UVB or do you have a different UVB bulb and are intending to use the included 10000K bulb for additional light? Sunlight at noon is 4000K - 6500K. You might not want to swing as far to the cool side as 10000k. It can be a...

I just ran over to Safeway to get Orion's collards and dandelions. They only had red dandelions (which I've never seen before). A quick Google search in the produce section didn't turn up much in the way of information. Is there any reason I can't give him the red dandelions I bought him? I was...

You've planted a seed in my head that I'm excited about, Taterbug! I have a pair of AI Sol Blue lights (http://www.theaquariumsolution.com/ai-sol-blue-led-4070-module). They're discontinued now and they have almost no resale value. I paid almost $1000 for the pair when I bought them new a few...

Thanks for the feedback, folks. :) I know it isn't a huge issue, but I'm just a major geek who loves her gadgets. My reef aquarium was a great outlet for my love of gadgets (lights, heaters, pumps, skimmers, automatic top-up and dosing systems), but I lost everything in it during a prolonged...

After I've got a cricket purchase home, I put them in the fridge for 10-20 minutes. This really slows them down. Once they're slowed down, I dump to contents of the package (the crickets, cardboard, and food/hydration) into a big cricket keeper. When I go to feed, I put the cricket keeper in...

I have a translucent (Hypo Trans) who is just over three years old. I had read that they were more sensitive to UV rays and that they required higher humidity. His breeder (a well known and very respected breeder in Canada) advised me that those were not issues that I had to be concerned about...

They are a great staple. But, feeding a baby Reptiworms/Calciworms/Phoenix Worms as a staple could be incredibly costly. Silkworms are another great staple (my favourite), but they can be very hard to come by, and they are costly. You'll need pretty deep pockets to avoid crickets with a baby...

I use a HerpKeeper by Digital Aquatics to control lighting and heating in my beardie's enclosure. In case you're wondering why I use a HerpKeeper, it is because I have had reef aquarium in the past, and I have a lot of confidence in Digital Aquatics products as a result. That I don't use a...

Where in Canada are you located? And, is it the T5 or T8 Reptisun you'll be using? Do you have the bulb already? I'm in Calgary. I was in a Big Al's location today, and a Petland location today. Both had good stock of t8 bulbs. If you want an external fixture, you should be able to find one in...

Sorry, AWN. I didn't realize that you already had the MVB. I thought you were in the "shopping for it" phase. I have a 24" tall enclosure, and I honestly wish I had more height to give him a lot of varied terrain. I just have a 75w basking bulb in that fixture right now. If I toss in a 100w...

I have an arboreal bearded dragon.

I've have one beardie, and he is a three-year-old HypoTrans. I had always assumed that he couldn't black beard: with the reduction in black pigment. In the 2.5 years he's be with us, I've never seen him black beard. But, last night when I was giving him his bath, the skin on his beard looked...

I've got the bug trapped. I couldn't get it out, as it is wedged in the tiny space where the tile floor meets the wall of the enclosure. I tried wedging a little dustpan in there to kill it, but the dustpan was too thick. I laid a row of tile on top of the crack to keep it trapped it there. It...
