    rescued a beardie today

    Wow, wish I could be that lucky! :) I don't know about beardies but when I was still in the go-outside-and-catch-lizards-then-keep-them-for-a-few-days stage, I kept any lizards I caught on red and white calci-sand that I had mixed and they all turned red. When I went to release them I would...

    What NOT to get?

    Okay, so I'm going to the Atlanta Repticon in August and I know I will be tempted to buy another animal, so what I want to know is...What animal shouldn't I get? My mother is quite near phobic in her fear of snakes so they're a no no :cry:. So what would be inexpensive, easy to care for, and...

    Convincing my mother...

    I have wanted a snake since I was 5 years old and have let my mother know it. She is very close to having a phobia of snakes, but everytime I see or hear about a snake, my heart rate speeds up and my thoughts go "Oh my god, it's gorgeous. If only..." I have tried placating myself with rats...

    Breeders

    If you haven't found a new beardie in the for sale section, try Caliente Dragons (calientedragons.com). That's where I got my Jasper. He was only $115 w/ shipping. He's tamed, beautiful, and eats well.

    Rollie Pollies?

    So, what is the correct ratio of protein:chitin for beardies? Isopods seem to have very soft shells if you've ever picked one up. I'll ask around on other sites and do some research. Even though it seems unresponsible for us to feed unknown insects to our beardies, what stops them from eating...

    I might have to give him up

    Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I guess I was just having a temporary mental breakdown and was a bit distraught. :P Problem is, my two kittens stay in my room and my mom's office (which are both above the garage) and there is no where else I can put them. There are also three cats...

    Rollie Pollies?

    Regarding the dubias and superworms: My mother has refused to let me keep roaches and my beardie is too small to eat supers yet. So, you think they might be good? They seem to be pretty cheap and easy to care for and breed. Thanks, I think I'll try them and post the results.

    I might have to give him up

    I just bought and recieved a red trans x citrus male beardie baby, that I named Jasper, from Heidi (Caliente Dragons) last Friday and...I may have to give him up. I spent a lot of money on a 20 gal long tank at petsmart and on the bulbs he needed. That, coupled with the fact that my two 10 month...

    Rollie Pollies?

    I was just searching the awesomeness that is http://www.wormman.com and found rollie pollies (sow bugs) being advertised as good feeders? Is that so for beardies? Because they seem to be very easy to breed and keep. I'm thinking of giving a diet of crickets (I have to keep those around for my...

    red worms?

    There is a company in New York that sells parasite-free red wigglers. I think I may try them out. Their prices are resonable. Roaches creep me out as well, iLoveMyFelix, and my mother has vehemently refused to allow me to keep them. Phoenix worms are way too pricey for a high school student so...

    The Princess Woke Up (sorry, tons of pics)

    I have that same background as well, but for one of my tarantulas. :)

    Best feeder besides dubias?

    I am mostly just looking to buy unless there is something that I can breed that requires almost no maintenance. (I love my pets but I am not willing to spend an hour each day cleaning and feeding their food.)

    Best feeder besides dubias?

    Hi everyone :D I want to pull away from crickets, at least for the beardie. My mother has refused the idea of roaches in the house due to a childhood experience so I need something that is cheap, doesn't smell, and won't cost me an arm and a leg to buy...and is NOT a roach :) Any ideas. By...

    southern cricket wholesale order?

    Their shipping is included in the price listed on the ordering page. I don't like them though, since I had ordered 500 pinhead crickets for my four baby tarantulas and it took a week for the crickets to arrive. By that time, I had nearly lost one spiderling because I could not get to the...
