    Possibly Gravid Beardie Doesn't Know What to Do...?

    The coconut fiber is in a box. It's not all over the place in the vivarium. The floor of her viv is covered with non-adhesive drawer liner and then textured stone bathroom tiles to help keep her claws down. The fiber is in there as a lay or dig box. I've never used loose substrate all over the...

    Possibly Gravid Beardie Doesn't Know What to Do...?

    Hiya; So I introduced myself and my beardie, Nova, here when I fist brought her home in July 2019. So far, everything has been hunky dory. She's been eating fine, pooping fine. No problems with weight or illness. She came home at around 4 months old, so right now she's 9-10 months in age. Until...

    What are Collard greens

    I appreciate it may seem a stupid question, and one that can be answered with a google search, but searching on google just leaves me more confused. What, exactly, are collard greens? Its not a term we use here in the UK, and searching on google explains that collard greens are leafy greens...

    How's My Set Up?

    Thank you! :) The new basking light needs to be alongside the heat lamp. That makes sense... This is the new light and fixture that I'm getting. 36-inch bulb and fixture is the recommended length for a 4ft viv; do you think its suitable...

    How's My Set Up?

    I'll do that, make more use of the vertical space. I only got the viv and Nova yesterday, so setting it all up was a bit of a rush job. Cutting things to fit, and getting the lights all in. I just wanted to make sure there was something set up well enough for her to not be bored. I had heard...

    How's My Set Up?

    Hey Ellentomologist (I love the name, btw!) Thank you! I was worried it was maybe a bit cluttered or it was too busy. Or maybe there wasn't enough for Nova to do, or not enough variation in height and texture and the like. As I said, I have a few things arriving, including a large plastic vine...

    How's My Set Up?

    Wanted to get some thoughts on Nova's set up as it stands at the moment. I intend to get more greenery to hide the ventilation ports and for the blank sides. I would also like to get some live plants. I know they will get eaten, that doesn't bother me. I think live plants are nice, and its...

    She has arrived! (At least I'm calling it a she until I know for certain). She's super cute! I'm not settled on a name yet, but here are a couple of pictures of her. :) So far she seems to be settling in well. She was very active today. She ate some greens and had some live food which I...

    Placemats as substrate?

    I'm in the UK, so no Lowe's or Home Depot. I found some textured, self adhesive floor tiles online which I think will work. They're textured too. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07TXLX91V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Placemats as substrate?

    I've been digging around for a suitable substrate for when my dragon arrives on Wednesday, and having no luck with finding self-adhesive linoleum or drawr liners, I was conaidering slate - or similar - placemats. They ones I've been looking at are square, so no jagged edges like you night see in...

    I understand, its hard to have an opinion if its not wildly used. The guys in the store swore by them. Lots of opinions coming in from both sides in regards to lights! Would it be alright as a temporary measure, do you think? Just because to buy the new light and the fixture - and maybe buy a...

    Hello~ It is a lot. Even though I've been looking into things for a while and doing research, I still feel like I'm floundering. Its all a learning curve, and really all I want is the best set up for my beardie, so it is happy and content and just needs to concentrate on doing beardie things...

    No, please don't apologize. I'm grateful for your insight, it's helpful and one of the reasons I set up an account, to get more insight from current dragon owners, so I can ask questions and learn, and do the best for my own. The place I'm getting my viv and dragon from is small, family run...

    Sorry, that's a lot of information being thrown at me. I've found the Arcadia 12% on amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002UDTYF2/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1PH60OYR84OEQ But the only fixture I can find is...

    Hiya, So, the vivarium is a 4ft vivarium. Comes with a D3 copact E27 reptile lamp, heat guard, lava rock, thermometer, some cork pieces, critter sand (which I won't be using) and a dish for food. I haven't looked at that article; I guess I missed it... i'll have a look now.

    Hello everyone~ I found myself here on this helpful site after following a few links and thought as I will probably be spending time here, I would make an account and introduce myself. People call me Blue; I'm getting my first bearded dragon next week. I've been interested in reptiles (all...
