I don't know if this belongs in the Health section or Enclosures but here it goes. When I set up El Scorcho's enclosure I made sure to do everything according to what is advised on this forum and six months later Scorcho has grown big and strong. One mistake I made though was buying Calcium...

that sounds like a great idea. Thank you!

Hi guys, I'm going out of town for three weeks so I'm leaving my dragon with a responsible friend during that time. He's willing to take enough dubias to feed Scorcho while I'm gone but he (understandably) doesn't want to bring a whole colony of roaches into his apartment. I live pretty far...

Hey guys, can beardies eat the peel of a cucumber? I tried searching this on the site but I couldn't find a direct answer one way or the other. I know that cucumbers themselves aren't super nutritious but are a good source of water. As far as the peel goes though, I found that its super...

Yes, he has a hide and a shady spot on the cool end. The cool temperature is the average ambient temperature of the cool side. Measuring the cool side now I see that it can get as low as 75 in the shade if he chooses to hang out there but he normally likes to sit on a spot on a log near the...

I forgot to mention that I've been lightly dusting his meals with Zoomed's calcium powder with D3

I live in a country where pet stores pretty much refuse to take good care of their animals. Pets are definitely viewed more as merchandise than living beings. As sad as that makes me and as much as I hate supporting those practices, I caved and bought a baby bearded dragon a few weeks ago (not...
