Hi Diane, he's 2 in January. I've got both a digital thermometer with a probe, and also a temp gun. They both give slightly different readings but not too far out. The distance between the bulb (160w) and the basking area is 22" and he's roughly 2" high. I have now shut one of the vents in...

Thanks both of you for your replies. I'll stop fretting then, leave it as it is and just assume he's brumating or just plain lazy! :D

I have recently installed a Megaray bulb, and whilst the outside temps were still warm (ish) I was getting temps of around 103/80. Now with it cooling down outside, I'm struggling with the temps, particularly in the cool end. My dragon has been unwell with one thing after the other for the last...

I think maybe Ringfinger was referring to the very first post? I know I was guilty of going off on a tangent, and PM'd instead. I don't think Ringfinger meant to be having a go at anyone in particular!

Ooops, sorry, went way off topic there - apologies! :oops:

Have you tried hand feeding him little pieces? I'm sure you have, but thought I'd ask! One of my dragons won't take it from me, he just like snuffling around in his bowl - the other one won't touch it out of the bowl but will eat loads from my hand! Have you tried fresh herbs? I find they go...

Hi Spike, I've got silk plants in my vivs. The plastic ones are a bit hard, silk are much nicer. I think they would have to pull quite hard at the leaves if they tried to eat them as they're fairly well fixed to the stalks, but I think most beardies, once they realised it wasn't real, would...

Thanks Puppytoes!

Bruce's pad (just noticed how smeary the glass is lol!!) And Izzy's

Hey Dantro, I'd love you to do me one, just need to find some good pics and will come back to you. Thanks for the offer, I wish I knew how to do these!

I have to agree with Ziggy - get them their own vivs. I was told I could keep two together quite happily, and although there were no obvious signs of dominance, one grew really well, basked all the time and generally did really well. The other one didn't grow, always hid and generally didn't...

Hi Lotties, you will probably now gets lots of people telling you not to keep beardies together, and that the only time it might work is if you have two females. As they are quite hard to sex when they're small, there's no telling what you'll end up with, and apparantly if the breeders are able...

I finally managed to do mine with this link http : //www.beardeddragon.org/imageResizer/ Good luck!

Hi, please don't listen to the pet shop if (and they probably will!) they advise you to get a hot rock. I parted with £28 and then read nothing but bad about them. Apparantly even now with a thermostat in them they can still burn beardies, so steer clear and save your money for all the...

Hi, I have been given so much helpful info on this site, I thought I would pass some of it on! I had loads of trouble getting my temps right, and tried the bulb with and without a thermostat. You will probably find, as I did, that a viv of that size will heat up too much without one. I had to...

Hi! I'm frantically searching the net right now, but that size is SO expensive, and we really didn't envisage having to start all over again so soon - the first lot has cost about £400 in total! As for making one, we are a family of absolutely hopeless DIY'ers - wouldn't have a clue, even with...

Thanks Catalyst! We are now in the process of trying to find another viv quickly so we can separate them. Perhaps then the little one will start eating! Will do as you suggest and just unplug the hot rock, at least its a nice surface for them to bask on! Your help and advice is much...

Gonna try again - hope this works, even if not very well - I'm obviously being really dim! All the palm trees are cemented in as well as the 3 big grey rocks, so you can see the prob with paper towels!

Well obviously it didn't work lol! :cry:

Hi Catalyst, thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I will attempt in a minute to get some pics from photobucket - the picture of the viv was taken when we first set it up - obviously the wood chips have gone now, but you can see all the grey rocks that have been cemented in. We have also...
