Hello, My 5 month old is near the end of a shed. She has started dragging her face on the paper towels, and it almost looks like she is digging. She even gets herself under the paper towels from time to time. We've had her for over a month, and she has shed before, but this is the first time...

My baby is absolutely bonkers when she comes out of her cage! We can only let her run loose in the bathroom cause it's the only place where she can't vanish under furniture. She runs all around, climbs me, climbs the shower curtain, I think she'd climb the walls if she could! It makes me a...

Now, if we can get them to change their feeding habits (one cricket per reptile inch per day) we'll be all set. I was in PetCo the other day, and it was not so nice. Sand on the bottom, 6 dragons in the same cage (and they were by no means babies), and temps way off. They all looked dusty...

My baby (4 months) has recently started to wave at the crickets, right before she pounces and attacks. It's very funny to watch. When I put them in her tank, she'll stalk down from her basking area, and start to shake her rear like a cat ready to pounce. Then, she gives a quick wave, like 'see...

Hello, I live in Arlington and was wondering if anyone knew a good source for crickets in the area? I'm not a fan of Petco or Petsmart, their crickets are often too big for a baby. Thanks!

I wish I could say this was true! I have a tough time finding the right size cricket for my baby at either PetCo or PetSmart. Their 'small' size cricket is generally more of a medium, and I always get a few larges in there that I have to pick out and set free cause they are bigger than my baby's...

OK - our little girl has a new tube style Reptisun 10 light. It's a little busy on top of her cage, but she seems more lively and has a better appetite now so I'm happy. My new question is what should I use for a background?? We've tried a standard desert scene background, but she keeps trying...

Scracth that...I'm an *****! Upon reading the manual, it states that the power output will not be maximum for a T12 bulb...meaning it probably won't give out the full dose of UV light. I think I'm giving up and going to the T8 Reptisun 5.0 as well...I can't find a useable fixture for this...

This should sum it up and provide you (and me, and others) some closure: http://www.lightsofamerica.com/sl.htm Their fixtures are available at wal-mart, home depot, lowes, costco...or online through the company and specifically state that they are T8 AND T12 compatible. Model 8050 at the...

I am by no means an expert, but I believe only the smallest Reptisun 10.0 is a T8, and all the others are T12. I believe Drsfostersmith.com has the correct housing, though I don't recall if it's for a 24" bulb or not. At least it's a start. I believe the manufacturer is Perfecto, made through...

It's not so much the money as it is the crickets. I thought that if I had a larger enclosure, she'd have a tougher time hunting down crickets with all that space. Is there a way to partition the enclosure (so that even the crickets can't get by) without damaging the tank?

Ok, so my little baby, Woodstock (3 months old), has spent her first few days home in a 10 gallon tank with a coil UVB light. Consider it a lesson learned! She is moving into a 20 gallon tank ASAP. My question is, if I have to upgrade her lighting/heating now, what should I get that will satisfy...

OK, so a 20 gallon tank makes sense. I'm kicking myself you know where for not grabbing that in the first place. So my new question is, if I get a 20 gallon tank and the appropriate sized hood/tube UV light, will I need to then buy a new hood/light once she grows into her final tank? My...

Hello, My wife and I are the proud owners of a new baby named Woodstock. Before I get into the questions, here are the specifics: How old is your dragon? About 2 months How long have you had your dragon? 2 days How long is your dragon? Approx. 6 inches What is the sex of your dragon? We...
