another tip -> i over-cook veggies in the microwave, blend it up into as much of a paste as i can manage, and force feed through a syringe (after adding calcium/vd supplement of course). my beardie does a lot better through the winter stubbornness with that strategy.

just in case you're not aware, while infrared rays and light will go through a window, UV rays will not.

sometimes i wonder about this as well, my boyfriend stays at home during the days with my beardie and plays REALLY loud music. i hope it doesn't stress the beardie out xD

thanks for the reply! yea is it possible to sanitize it (laybox contents) with a vinegar solution or something? or would that hurt my beardie somehow? o.o

sorry to do this yet again but.. bump for any advice/thoughts?

yellow means less hydrated as far as i know. but it doesn't seem that bad if only a bit of it is yellow and the rest is white, it's more concerning if most of the urates are yellow or orange. another poster can correct me if i'm wrong.

that looks awesome! good job *_*

I thought my female beardie might be digging around because she wants to lay some eggs so i made her a laybox in her enclosure (vermiculite and soil). yesterday while i was at work she climbed into it, pooped, and then went back out i guess. it's been about half a week with the laybox around and...

welcome and grats! those speckles on his head and lower jaw are very cute =D

definitely, just make sure to keep it clean. carpet ends/scraps from a carpet store might be cheaper. make sure to clean items before putting them in the enclosure as well =D sorry to derail the thread but i saw this and i really want to ask you (or others!) about the digging. mine moves piles...

i dunno if the sand i got is hurting my dragon or not....but i really do not recommend it as a substrate. i really regret my purchase, and i wish i had started my research before getting that new substrate. (i bought reptile calcium sand that clumps from the pet store, i didn't know better at...

sorry to post again, but i wanted to fish for comments on the lights i bought. should i take silence as a good sign that everything is okay?

i think it's good to use a larger bath, like the tub, if the beardie likes to swim and move around. my seymour is super lazy so i use the sink, i might swap to the bathtub if he gets more active in the water.

wow yea that looks really cool. i dunno why i never checked out the DIY section before, i'll definately go take a look and maybe do a project this weekend. unfortunately i'm in ontario canada so a little far away =) i really regret buying that sand, i got it right after i picked up the beardie...

I adopted a 4-5 year old beardie a week ago, and I'm slowly trying to make his a home a better place. i do a ton of research online but there are some things websites can't tell you. most importantly, viv design for people living in colder climates. this is what i have the most trouble with...
