    Is she just exhibiting more adult behavior?

    Our 9ish month old girl, Nala, has had a pretty big change in eating/behavior that started about a month or so ago. I have a feeling that nothing is actually wrong, kind of looking for some reassurance. Temps and lightning are all set, from previous threads here. ;) We used to praise her for...

    So which is it? (Dubia gestation)

    We have our first batch of nymphs! ? Trying to figure out which batch of females they came from and one place (wikipedia) says gestation is 28 days, but dubia roach depot (who has tons of info on roaches on their site, interesting read if you are so inclined) says 65 days. ?

    What causes eating changes?

    This might belong in health, hard to know sometimes... And apologies in advance for the novel. ? Our 8 month old female is currently offered bsfl and dubia roaches for daily breakfast and dinner, with salad in between. She has been a good salad eater for months now. And once she found her...

    Dubia colony & cleaner questions

    2 questions - sorry for making them long, I just want to make sure I'm explaining well About roaches: One of the first roach shipments we got had what I thought were pretty big roaches in it (even though I ordered medium). That was the first week of May. Would we know for sure if any of...

    Superworm longevity?

    I thought superworms could be kept for quite a while? First time having them... I mixed some oats in with my superworms and tossed in some carrots. Several of them have died. I did get them from Chow Hound and not from online, so maybe they just weren't great to begin with?

    Salad bowls

    Does anyone have a favorite? The bowls that came with our girls tank are big and bulky and tall, so I'd like to get something smaller and flatter.

    Do juveniles get overweight?

    I wondered if we were even feeding her enough, let alone too much, but doesn't her belly look huge? She's about 6.5 months.

    Pufferfish belly??

    So, the title says it - that's what it looks like to me. I saw her do it for the first time a few days ago and kind of got concerned, so I touched her and she recoiled. She's done it several times since, but I haven't tried touching her again when she's doing it. My 12 year old said she looked...

    Tomato leaf?

    Ack, I carried our girl outside with me to pick her greens, and when I bent down to pick them she snatched a mouthful of a tomato leaf that I didn't realize my husband had planted. I know tomato is in the nightshade family, is it very worrisome that she got it?

    Dubias and uric acid

    Is there an amount of dubias known to cause problems with UA? We've been limiting our 6 mo old to about 8/day, but I think she would like more. ;) (That's of course not the only thing she gets).

    Is this anything?

    I've been noticing her lips/front of mouth starting to look just a little different, and think it's becoming more noticeable. Is this just how they look when they get bigger?

    Putting herself to bed? Anyone else's?

    It's not very often, but once in a while in the evening, our 6 mo. old girl will tuck herself in her cave and decide it's bedtime, even though her lights are still on. Since things with them are so different than what I'm familiar with, I'm hoping this isn't some kind of sign that something...

    What does this mean?

    She was sitting like this for a bit and I thought it was a little odd so I snapped a pic Then a short bit later she was exaggerating the pose more ??‍♀️ I figure it might have to do with her new uvb tube (7 in from her) which is currently sitting in an open space I made by sliding the screen...

    Urate question

    Does it mean anything if our dragon's urate is liquidy? In case details matter with this question, she's totally normal otherwise, but they didn't always look like this. She's about 6 months.

    T8 question - Updated with new light pics - did I get it?

    If I get a T8 fixture for a uvb bulb and attach it on the underside of the screen top, does it need to have a reflector? (Tank is 36x18x18)

    Some feeding questions

    Too much time on my hands to think apparently... ?? If we are feeding calciworms every day, do we still need to dust the other feeders? (Dubia) Speaking of dubia, we have gotten 2 shipments now (same source) and each time there has been one, and only one, white roach in the container. What's...

    Baby vs. older basking temps

    Is there a certain age at which you should lower the basking temp? I've kept ours between 100-110, but wondering if I should lower the hot end yet? Baby is about 5 months.

    UVB bulb questions I didn't find understandable answers to

    I know many of you use Reptisun T5 HO 10.0 Does the 10.0 mean it is 10%? I was looking into Arcadia D3+ and it looks like they recommend the 12% or the 14%. On another site I read that the 14% is too much for many setups, especially smaller ones. We have a 36x18x18 currently. We will be...

    Markings/coloring

    2 part question: 1. Do dragons keep the markings they have, into adulthood? We've been wondering if our girl will always have this "tie-fighter" on her head. ? It has changed a bit but not much. 2. Is there much chance she could still turn out to be an orange? She has some "highlighting"...
