Oh, I've decided that Charlie is too excitable/aggresive with everyone so he only gets out on his own. Albert doesn't even bat an eyelid at the females, he'll head bob every now and again but he doesn't take charges at them. he'd much prefer to just cosy up beside you and sleep. Yeah, that...

Hi guys, I'm Warren and I've been bitten by the beardie bug after buying my first one, my 15 month old male, Charlie. He's snuggling into me as I type this. Charlie is very big with an orange beard and eyes and he likes to think of himself as the Alpha Male, he gets very excitable. 3 days later...

Oh yeah, sorry guys. Charlie is doing fine, he's still n ot eating the best but he manages 3-4 morios every other day and he's not as tired as he has been. I did as you guys told me and lowered the UV bulb, turned the temperature up and that seemed to do the trick as he pooped the very next day...

Hey guys, just got a male and female tonight to keep my other 2 beardies (Charlie and Sandy) company. Sandy has met both of them but we've kept charlie away as he caught a glimpse of both of them and went ballistic (as he tends to do even with Sandy). Would it be a good idea to just keep the 2...

Right, this is what I have in the viv: 1 ceramic heat emmiter with thormostat 1 household lightbulb (80watt) 1 reptisun UV 10 flourescent bulb I have plastic greens and scented bark in. His viv is immaculate and he gets a good variety of food. Don't really think his viv set-up would have...

He's had the ceramic heat emmiter all his life so that's why I suspect its not the problem. His viv is always warmer than hers. He ate another morio yesterday afternoon but its still worrying. Its been going on 2 weeks now, should I take him to the vets Monday for a check up? I know its best for...

My female doesn't have a ceramic heat emitter and just makes do with the standard heat bulb yet she's such a great feeder so I don't know if the temperature is the factor in this. Besides, the thermostat and ceramic heater only kick in when the temperature drops lower than the setting on the...

Okay, I can lower the UV bulb quit easily. I'm just looking at it though, its more like 30 cms away from him. I let him out in the yard to run around and thw weathers quite good good at the moment so he's getting a lot of natural sunlight so the UV emittance shouldn't be a problem. oh, it's a...

Okay, so I've had my male beardie for almost 2 weeks now. I'm pretty new to this so all help is appreciated and any experience you have shared. In the past week and a bit he hasn't eaten anything. I put fresh greens down every day and always provide a good mixture. I feed him on Locusts and...

All is good, he's shedding on both parts now! what a relief! Anyway, I'm just wondering, does anybody else's beardies go off food when they're shedding? My female is ravenous and she's half the size of Charlie plus she's shedding to boot! I offer him EVERYTHING and he's just not interested...

Thanks guys, but I bathe him everyday (which he seems to love) My female hates it and I don't bathe her yet she sheds perfectly. He's only 14 months old! Now, I did go home on my lunch break and noticed that his skin started to loosen up a little under his front leg which is were that tough...

My female Sandy is shedding very well at the moment, unfortunately Charlie isn't. He's shed all his skin barr 2 patches. The long strip of dead skin on his tail looks extremely tough and is very light in colour which makes me think it's quite a thick layer. The patch on the right hand side of...

In saying all that, I do see your point in it all barbara, I doubt she enjoys it and I might have been putting his feelings before hers, generally because she's more content than he is but that's all part and parcel of her being a female I guess. I take your point on board. If indeed she does...

No, I have a separate viv for e r. I put her in for an hour, just like I said and watched both of them together. I'd never put her through the stress and strains of his constant torturing. Although I haven't seen him torturing her in both nights that I've had her in his viv, he actually ignored...

Thanks for that Barbara, I give up on the idea of trying to keep them apart thanks to your words of wisdom . Besides, I figure it's pretty cruel on him, having her around and him being able to see her so I put her in his viv last night after his bath and he was pretty gentle, just grabbing the...
