It's been about three weeks since I switched from dusted crickets to Phoenix worms as main staple and I've noticed drastic growth in my 3-4 month old beardie. He's gotten at least an inch longer and his abdomen has also widened. I'm feeding daily servings of 30-40 worms split into 2-3 meals...

The big hide is decorative at this point, he's never gone inside, he always chooses to hide underneath between the hammock and wood tunnel. Yes, in fact he is docile when I have managed to hold him in my hand. It is when he is free from grasp in his enclosure that he panics. His lights usually...

Am I doing something wrong? I've had Salamence for about two months and he really doesn't like me being around, he's terrified and wary of my presence. He's alleged to be 4-5 months old based on length and his behavior is that of any animal in a healthy state: very active, quick reactions, full...

UPDATE: This morning I took a trip to the reptile store and purchased the 24" Reptisun 10.0 T8 along with a 30" Zoo Med hood fixture instead of a simple generic strip that could be mounted, which is what I had in mind. The hood is placed on the "far side" above the screen cover, running along...

I've been looking for this exact background for quite some time! Would you happen to have a link? It seems Peaches really loves it!

Thank you both for promt replies. I'm currently looking at at my options and the Sunblaster appears to be convinient, for the moment. I'm aware that young dragons grow rapidly when they're babies, I've seen my beardie grow about two inches just this month. Taking growth spurs into account, when...

I have a baby dragon (about 6-7 in long) in a 20 gallon tank with a temporary Reptisun 5.0 and a Zoo Med basking bulb combo; both ignorantly purchased online. I will be upgrading to a Reptisun 10.0 and possibly a new light fixture. I need guidance on which UVB light and fixture is the most...

Thank you for your responses. He seems to be doing better, getting around a little more and his eyes are opened for longer periods of time. He also chased some crickets around but I'm unsure if they were eaten. As I was typing this, I saw him defecating (first time in two days) and it doesn't...

Hello, I'm a new, first time owner of a beardie. I purchased little Salamence (6 w/o according to breeder) three days ago at a LLLReptiles near me, and everything was going great until I replaced its UVB bulb yesterday. This morning, I noticed it took longer than usual for it to get up and about...
