Hi there. I am trying to decide on some new substrate for my three beardies, and have read loads of people recommending the top soil and play sand mix. This sounds great, but fertiliser/manure-free top soil is proving impossible to find in Australia. I have used coconut fibre/coir for a long...

I am currently building three identical custom enclosures for my beardies to replace their old store-bought tanks. Everything is in order, but I am struggling to figure out exactly how much ventilation I should have. I am planning on creating multiple rectangular vents, at low and high points in...

I was cleaning out one of my tanks today and found that it has loads of silverfish inside of all different sizes, leading me to believe they are surviving and breeding in there. Is this something to be concerned about or are they not harmful to beardies? I have cleaned them all out as well as I...

Okay, thanks very much. Might I ask what you think the problem with these bulbs could be? I had the exact same ones in prior to brumation and there were no problems at all for them. Are there problems with MVBs in this regard that there is a sort of consensus upon? I will look into and do some...

I am not sure that these two are MVBs truly. They are heat and UVB in one - 125 watts each. The other tank I have for my other female has the exact setup you are speaking of - with a basking bulb, a tube UVB and tiles rather than substrate. The reason these two have alternative setups to that is...

Thank you for the response. I am aware that beardies generally like longer enclosures more but this guy reall loves to climb and be up high. My girls are definitely happy in the longer tanks but this guy is always trying to get as high as he can go and doesn't tend to move all that much along...

The male does open his when he needs to in order to do something but otherwise shuts them. The female holds hers close all the time and barely wants to open the right eye at all.

The male is 2 years old and this is his first time brumating. The female is 4 years old and I am unaware of if she has brumated in the past as this was my first winter with her. As far as I am aware, her last owner did not allow them to brumate so this may very well have been the first time for...

Thanks for the reply! They have new lights but they are the exact same as their old ones and I cannot notice any substrate in their eyes.
