Someone also told me that Big Lots have timers for $2.00.

Thanks, but I decided I'm just cancelling the plans. Darn spoiled animals.

I have to stay in a hotel for 3 days due to a work thing. I'm in a new state where I dont have any friends or family who can help me out. Will my 2 beardies be okay? Of course I will add extra food in their tank that they can pick at over the course of the days. The only problem is, I dont have...

I really don't know if the stick thermometers that people use to take people temperatures will work, maybe someone else could clear that up for you. I've only used the thermometers that have the long cord with a probe on the end. You can pick up one for only like $12 at walmart that reads both...

Like the other poster said, get a second opinion with a new therm. A 20 gallon tank is what? 12 inches high? Depending on your household temperature, that 100w should be all you need. I wouldn't think it gets that hot, haha. I have the MVB 160w for my 40 breeder tank and it keeps his basking...

Hmm, for the 20 gallon tank a pair of Leopard Geckos would be a good choice :D (two females or male/female only, not two males). Bearded Dragons need heat from above, so I would recommend the ceramic heat emitter, which is the non-light emitting heater that screws into the dome fixture...

It's recommended that the UVB tube stretches the length of the enclosure, for maximum UVB levels. Lots of people don't use them the entire length of their cage, but the longer the tube, the better.

For feeding, you just feed him as many as he will eat within 15 minutes. Any uneaten food should be taken out after that (salads can be left in). There isn't much to do about the crickets unless you change the paper towels to something else. They are sneaky little bugs and seem to get...

I actually have the second link, that's part of what inspired me to make my own! The first link is pretty helpful. Thanks a lot

haha, yea I didn't think about all the different fixtures, but either way, installation must be pretty similar! I don't have the lights yet, in fact I haven't even started the viv yet. The lighting was just the confusing part and I wanted to try to figure that out before the project. I guess it...

It's really unfortunate what pet stores will do to make a quick buck. Even if complaining doesn't get you far, it still feels nice to do it, and just maybe, just MAYBE, you can educate the people giving out the bad information and they will actually start giving out the RIGHT information (we all...

I sent out some personal emails and messages to a few people from the "Viv Thread Only" thread, but thought I would ask here for the whole lot of you to see, to hopefully get the most help. If you built your own enclosures, I was hoping you could help me with the light fixtures. I'm building...

It looks great! Where did you get those half log things that you're using as a bridge? I'm sure your dragon will love it :)

How many babies does a Dubia Roach have, roughly?

ANYONE?
