    Bearded Dragon shedding patterns?

    I wanted to ask if there is a "normal/average pattern" on how a beardie sheds? I know the question is weird but I dont know how to word it. So, let me give you some context. I believe my beardie is around 3mo old. When I purchased him, he was in a full-body shed. Since I had him for the...

    FB Dragon group elitism.

    I joined a couple of FB bearded dragon groups and a question came up about someone else asking about using a bulb for UVB. While I admit the question wasnt really worded properly nor was any context given... the person just got fried. I understand and accept the ignorance that another person...

    I will be getting a new beardie soon and I want to attempt to create a regular eating pattern but with a large cage, some young beardies do not become proficient hunters until later on. My current habitat is a 4x2x2. So, my question is if its worth it to purchase something like this: Exo...

    Legos: Bad idea or ok for using them as structures

    For you experienced peoples out there... I was thinking of using legos as a cave/hideout structure. I thought it would give it a nice kid friendly look and get my kids more interested in the beardie. Does anyone have any experience of using legos as a cave? basking spot? My only negative...

    Starter Dubia Colony: How many to start for feeding a BD?

    Im trying to find a way to save a little money in regards to the feeding and Im just looking at the "juice vs squeeze" theory of a home Dubia colony.

    BD purchase: breeder vs local store?

    I pretty much made the common mistake by going to PetsMart and purchasing a baby BD. Im having a hard time with it, not eating crickets/worms and has not pooped in 5 days, so my plan is to return the BD and purchase a replacement but do it right. I live in Dallas and there is a great store...
