Sorry for the late reply everyone! Been very busy with work and finals! Well just an update, I tried only once to get supers from my local PetSmart and they were sold out. Funny btw how they tried telling me mealworms were better -_- no thanks...lol So ill try again at a different location when...

Hey all I just had a few questions. I've had my beardie for about 1-2 months now and want to begin taming him. Ever since I got him he has not liked being handled. You go to slide your hand under him or get too close, he runs away. I got him to the point where he would sit on my hand if I worked...

Isn't that the truth! I always research on forums before getting myself into certain things! I believe the sealant is just to help protect against water and your beardie's waste (someone correct me if wrong?) and possibly from falling apart lol. So far mine has held up just great no chipping or...

I don't but I take pictures daily and keep them on my phone to keep track of his growth progress which is going well! I have a thread over in the "Enclosures" section showing off my new setup. I did a whole custom rock wall theme with built in dig box etc if you wanna check it out!

Unfortunately I did NOT seal it...although if you are considering doing a project like this it's recommend that you seal it after painting. I found this out after it was all installed... :x

That's too funny my beardie's name is Dexter too! lol. Ill definitely keep an eye out for any strange behavior but so far so good he's loving the new setup! He's been doing nothing but exploring no hiding out or anything :)

First off thanks for such a quick reply, that's why I love this forum everyone is always so helpful! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has experienced this. I've never seen this behavior before because I had him in a small 20 gallon tank where he didnt have much room to explore. He's still...

Hey all, I just finished up my new 40 Gal enclosure and have my ReptiSun mounted inside on the back wall. With the fake rock walls I have in there that I made, he can easily climb the sides and back of the setup which is cool being that it gives him something to do. But every now and then he...

How was it using the grout? I just finished my enclosure but I used concrete mix instead of grout. Was a little chunky but kinda benefitted in the end in giving a realistic look. I just feel like it would have been easier using grout lol

Thanks! Took some time but it was a very fun project. I would not mind doing it all again if he ever needs a bigger setup :)

Hey everyone! So whoever saw my introduction thread showing off my enclosure when I first picked up Dexter, knew that it was a simple 20G tank with some accessories etc…Well being how big he has been getting I figured it would be time to make a nice upgrade. I was going to post a “build” thread...

Well I put the shirt in on Tuesday so I'm going to give it some time and see how he reacts when I start go back into the tank. Yes the crickets were smaller than the eye space. The main reason I wanted to try and push the ReptiWorms as a staple is because the only decent Pet Store in my area...

As far as feeding goes, I have only tried Crickets about 3/4" long, Mealworms, and ReptiWorms which he eats the most of but not too many. As far as greens, I have tried collards, and some few fruits such as strawberry and blackberries but only little pieces every now and then. Ill try the shirt...

So this really isn't a tutorial or anything, but I figured I would share something simple that many of you could get some ideas from! I had a shipment come through the other day and received my Zoo Med Digital Thermometer with Temperature Probe. I had no clue where I was going to mount the...

Hello all, I just had some questions regarding the behavior of my beardie Dexter. I picked him up exactly 2 weeks ago on Monday. For the time that I have had him his setup was not 100% complete being that I had a CFL UVB instead of strip light etc...Well I finally have the exact setup I need...
