I think you are right about the brumation. Even in her viv, she is getting in the cave or under the little heating pad and when I peak at her she is sleeping during the day. I am going to get her baby food. Is there a certain amount (i.e. 1 teaspoon) that I should make sure that she consumes...

Dianne, Should I get the fresh squash and boil it or use the baby food squash? Virginia

Thank God, we found Ollie yesterday in the bookshelf. She is 1 year old and looks fantastic for being without food, water and sun or warmth for so long. I put her in her viv for a day and put food out but wanted her to de-stress in some warmth for a day. I just gave her a long warm bath this...

Thanks Guys, Barbara, you are always so informative and have fact to back up your opinions and experience. I love the slate tiles on the viv too. My tiles are 12x12 so lifting it out isn't possible, but I like that idea! I guess I will stay on the bare floor. I was kind of thinking of a...

Wow, Those showcase cages are really nice. Mine is just like that but without the crown molding framing in the front. Those are beautiful and I am sure your beardie will love you forever. What we do, and spend, for out little four legged family members. Good Luck!

Hey Guys, OK, I have been anxious for Ollie to get old enough to go to sand. I had her on paper and now have gone to her vinyl floor because it is easier to clean. I have done searches on the posts and read everyones opinions on sand and now I am wondering if I should use sand. I thought...

Sorry for the ignorance, but what is a showcase cage? I built my cage in Dec. and used the 12x12 vinyl flooring stick tiles in dessert color. I don't have them sealed on the bottom so I can remove them for good cleaning. It is easy to cut and is bendable. I love it because it is easy to...

Wow, thanks! I am now a little nervous. I just checked and I have some canned punkin in the pantry. She has never had it, but she is eating like a pig now so i am sure she will love it. The massage in the tub sounds great, but I am now sure how. Can you tell me where I could find out a good...

I wrote to Vickie, the breeder, to ask her how old Ollie was when we got her. She was 6 inches when we got her on Dec 17th 08. Vickie never got back to me. Ollie is 12 inches already and I don't really know her age. I am guessing she is maybe 3 months old, but Ollie is our first dragon so I...

Hey Guys, I have'n't been on in a wild because everything is fantastic. Well, until now. Ollie has been eating up to 65 crickets a day with silkies, mealies. Well, I have run out of worms for about 5 or 6 days and the elephant size poop mountains that she lays once a day have changed. The...

OK I am so jealous of the glass tiles. I wanted that for my bathroom and the glass tiles are so expensive. I want to be your beardie!! Very Posh pad for your Beardie!!!!!

I went into the ZooMed website and read the info on this product again to make sure I didn't misunderstand what it said about the animal's sleep pattern. I cut this off of the product description: "Ideal 24 hour heat source for all types of reptiles, amphibians, birds or small animals. Very...

What do you guys do when you puchase a product from a company by reading the information posted on the box. I bought a ZooMed mocturnal infrared Heat Lamp (ree). It said that the reptile will not see the light of the bulb and will sleep. Ollie was up all night. I did a search on the topic...

Built it Myself!!! Think I will steal some ideas though! you guys have some great set ups!!

Great Family! :D The salcuta are fantastic. I am jealous, I would love a couple. Now, any furry four leggers in the family?? And, what do you guys do when you go out of town? The only reason I don't have a huge reptile crew is that I wouldn't know what to do when I went out of town...
