He seems kind of sporadic right now.. Some times he's calm and lets me pick him up with no problems other times he tries to run away from my hand and get away from me if I do pick him up. Wonder if its cause he's shedding or he's just not fully used to me yet.

Here are pics. Also, was gonna ask.. How long does it take to tame a beardie? He is calm most of the time, doesn't flinch to much with my hand in the cage, but gets finicky when I go to pick him up. Also try to sit down with him and just have him lay with me when I watch TV but he tries to...

How long should I wait before getting worried if his eating doesn't pick up? I know babies shouldn't go too long without eating. He's only about 7" long

The CHE is gonna be on the herpstat, but I only have a 60 watt CHE and can't really put it inside tank since its a glass tank so it will be limited in how much heat it can provide.. Chances are it can keep tank above 70 but if not I have the Flexwatt there just for emergency heat.

Will get some pictures of him and enclosure tomorrow. Gotta hook up Herpstat 2 tomorrow. Have some Flexwatt that I am sticking under cage and a CHE over cage. My room can get kinda cold at night so I'm gonna have the CHE try and keep it about 70-75 and if it gets below 70 the under tank...

Well just got my new guy in today! I named him Joffrey! :twisted: Tried to feed him today but didn't eat any greens and only ate 3 small Dubias. So hopefully tomorrow he will be better. He seems slightly timid (at times) but I had him out around feeding time and he likes sitting on my hand...

Just finished setting up my tote to breed dubias in. I am using a regular heating pad off of Amazon for under heating. And I wired up a heating controller to keep Temps about 90-95. My problem is, I have the temp probe for the controller taped to the bottom of the tote. And it keeps the bottom...

In a 36x18x18 cage is a 100W MVB over Basking spot and a 24" Reptisun 10.0 T5HO too much UVB? Should I swap out the MVB For regular basking bulb and keep reptisun or keep MVB and switch out for a lower Reptisun bulb?

Also, after doing some more research I plan on using Dubia roaches instead of crickets. And start a colony so I don't have to buy food. I really don't like the cricket noise or the fact that you can end up with them around the house when they get loose.

:study: Fairly Long Post! :study: Have always wanted a Bearded Dragon since I was younger, and finally at a point in my life where I have the time to take care of one. So I have been doing research as well as starting to purchase supplies. Stuff I have ordered so far: Exo-Terra 36x18x18...
