We live in Florida though so those inside temperatures won't last. We have lots of warm mixed in with cold fronts in the winter here.

His temperature in the morning is around 65 and by late afternoon it's around 68 in the enclosure with the lights off and covered with the blanket.

He may just be experiencing relocation stress due to the move. Even if the enclosure is exactly the same, the room itself is different from before. He should calm down and adjust soon. You could close off the back and sides of the enclosure so he has less to look out at if you'd like. He's...

My Ziggy is having his first brumation. He is 19 months old and 23.5 inches from snout to tail tip. He has nice fat pads on his head and tail base, etc. He's been asleep five days now. I have his lights off and his enclosure mostly covered with a blanket (I left about 2 inches open on the...

It is very sad to lose a beardie buddy. I am sorry for your loss. *hugs* How old was she?

I thought of one more thing to add. This will make your beardie a breeze. :) http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-Plug-In-Dual-Outlet-Heavy-Duty-Timer-15075/100685854#.UhuxQhupyKI A timer is great to automatically turn the lights on and off with. It'll let you sleep in on the weekends or be away...

As long as your house's indoor temperature doesn't go below 65 F (or 18 C) at night you won't need a heating source for night at all. If you do have a chilly house in the winter, you'll want to get a ceramic heating element. They do not produce any light so won't affect his sleep. An example...

Beardies are solitary for the most part and are quite territorial. Sometimes two females get along well enough to house together but not male/female or male/male. You could do a search for beardie cohabitation problems and you'll find a lot of injuries and sometimes even death resulting from...

My beardie is named Ziggy. Nicknames: Ziggersten Mr Ziggersten Mr Ziggy Man Ziggy zig zag My Ziggy zig zig Momma's bottomless pit (when he's had 100+ insects and he still hunting for more) 8) :lol: :D

Here's a pic of Ziggy's newest colors after his shed. Where oh where did all the orange go?!? He's turning pastel colors now it seems with some pretty greens, blues and tan.

Other than giving me a scare, he seems happy and healthy. No ill effects that I have noticed yet and trust me, I've been watching him closely.

If your little guy is 3-4 months old, then he'll be eating 80-120 crickets a day. He should be fed them two to three times a day in quantities of 40 to 45 at a time. Basically, it's everything he cares to eat within a ten to fifteen minute period. Juvenile beardies are insect eating machines...

He needs to be over 18 inches from snout to tail tip to eat morio worms (superworms) since beardies smaller than that have a 90 degree kink in their digestive tract and it could impact them. I lost a beardie to impaction so I won't feed any hard shell worms to my dragons now. If you do ever...

Sometimes they get bored with the same type of food. Maybe you could try some Reptiworms/Phoenix worms, butter worms, silk worms, horn worms, wax worms (as treats only - high fat), locusts, etc. Also, when did you last change out his UVB bulb? It's usually recommended every 6 months to be...
