There are lots of kids there but I don't think they allow them to pick him up. I'm not sure. There is a lot of activity around him. I don't think he's depressed at all though. He looks very sick and thin, to the point of starvation. I really think it's a combination of not enough food...

It's been a long time since I posted here. But I saw a beardie at a local Boys & Girls club that is very sick. I am going to try to help them but I'm not sure where to start. When I saw it on Monday, I thought it was dead. That is why I called the head guy and told him about it. He drove...

I agree with GoFast and Neromom39, I got my first Megaray in February when I upgraded to a 2x2x4 viv. Elvis' appetite has gone through the roof. He alternates days between supers and salads. I have never seen him attack a salad the way he does now. Now I offer three different baskings spots...

I was just thinking about that! Stop reading my mind dang it!! A mosaic would look too cool! 8) Plus I have some other white shiney ceramic tile left over from the bathrom that would look awesome in a mosaic with the slate.

I have a lot of ceramic and slate left over from doing the bottom of the viv. If I can get it cut, that's an idea but I don't think Lowes will cut it anymore and the top of the basking platform is sort of rounded. In hindsight, if I had known it would be that hard to clean, I would have made...

I finally got it off using the scouring pad that I was using. It just took way more elbow grease than it should, IMHO. I thought I would be able to wipe it up easily since it was on top of ModgePodge. I'm actually thinking of cutting some stick on vinyl tile or something to fit on top of the...

I decided to make a basking platform with styrofoam and grout. I finally got it all done and sealed it with ModgePodge. It turned out okay, but the first thing Elvis did was poo on it and it sat under the MVB all day. When I got home, I found it and now it won't all come off. I even...

Just an FYI here: the one you copies and pasted from the reptileuv website is the European bulb which I think is different. I bought one of the Megarays in February and I got this one: Mega-Ray SB 100 watt Self-Ballasted Flood UVB Lamp - Item# 100 $46.95 USD

Right now I use a small screen cage that I bought last year from Petco. It was over priced but I was desperate! Elvis loves to be outside. I usually put either his bonsai tree or a branch in it and I'll put the water hose over it and barely turn it so that it just dribbles a little. Elvis...

Actually, I think leaving it the way it is would be enough floor space. 3' x 3' 7" is actually more floor space than my 4'x2' viv. I think I'm figuring that right. 36" x 42" = 1512 square inches = 10.5 square feet 48" x 24" = 1152 square inches = 8 square feet. Plus you would have great...

No, that's incorrect. Beardies need darkness to sleep. All of mine go off at 9:00 pm and as soon as they go off, Elvis is out too. He doesn't wake up until they come on again at 7:30 am. The temps can get as low as 65 or 70 degrees at night. Any lower than 65 and I use a cermic heat...

I have four altogether in two different outlets. I have a Megaray, two other basking bulbs and a 48" fluorescent. I have two plugged straight into timers then into sockets and two in a strip. The Megaray kinda scares me I like to have it by itself in a timer straight into a socket. I'm...

I wish I could do that! I'm afraid to plug all of my lights into one strip and then one outlet. My house is old and the electrical needs to be redone so I'm scared it will blow!

Okay, time for the truth: your beardie is spoiled! You just have to admit it and go on with life. They can get spoiled just like kids, or dogs. :roll: My beardie, Elvis, is spoiled rotten. He refuses to eat superworms out of a dish, but eats them out of my hand. If I put them in a dish...

A fairly cheap way to go is jungle vine. This would also give him a way to climb. There may not be a lot of floor space, but at that price, you could make up for it with lot of space for climbing. I got elvis a new viv 4x2x2 and he has a lot more room to climb that he did in his 40 gal...

Petdiscounters.com has the 24" backgrounds, but I couldn't find a desert one but ended up with one that kinda works: http://www.petdiscounters.com/c83/Shalescape-Tropical-Blue-Background-24-High-p3288.html Its for aquariums but Elvis was totally fooled by it and is still trying to climb up the...

At this time of year I keep mine on from around 7:30 am until 9:00 pm and off the rest of the time. I think most people have them on and off an equal amount of time. I have mine on timers.

jEEZ LOUISE--I thought I was seeing things :D It IS carpet!!! I was thinking rock substrate - how do you keep those teeeny rocks so smooth.... :laughhard: :laughhard: I think I need glasses..... or bifocals

When you say rock substrate do you mean small pebbles? I guess I'm just not looking at it correctly! That looks like carpet on the right to me, with tile on the left. Am I seeing things? :?:

I used to have a desert one and I bought it online. http://www.herpsupplies.com/subcategory.cfm?id=13&sub=67
