Hello all. Let me start off by saying it's been a long time since I've been active on this site. I no longer have a bearded dragon but I'll be getting another one eventually. Even though this build is NOT for a bearded dragon, I've alway found this community to be very active and helpful. I...

I've never had any problems with tiles getting too hot or too cold. They're a great substrate, in my opinion the best. Be sure you get some with a bit of texture (walking on smooth porcelain tiles is like ice skating for dragons, not good), and I think the larger the tiles the better (less...

crazymum got her combinations wrong. While I do not recommend housing two together, the only combination that could work is two females. Two males get territorial and fight, and a male and female will mate and the male won't stop mating and the female has no where to run. Your best bet; One...

Trust me, things become a million times easier when you feed in a separate box. No hiding places, no need to chase crickets around to get them out, easy clean up. So much better. A clear rubbermaid works great. Crickets can't climb the walls of the clear ones.

Only if you're using it as your basking spot. Then you control the temps to get a surface temp of about 110*F.

There are many conflicting ideas about all kinds of sand and other loose substrates. The easiest thing to do is just avoid them entirely. There are no safety issues with something like tile. Anyways. Kubie has a nice looking cage, but you really should not use screen. It's best to use glass...

Yea, that really does seem too big. For the the amount of materials needed and the high cost, it's just not worth it for only one dragon. A very standard size tank we use is 4"x2"x2". That's 8 square feet of floor space and it's enough to keep any dragon happy. Your L tank would be 32 square...

i used a low temp hot glue gun.

I'll certainly consider it. Send me the SketchUp file when you're done and we'll talk.

Yea, I use armstrongcricket.com. They've been great. Never had any problems. ghann.com actually were the ones LLL ordered from. They messed up so many orders.

When buying lights from them, I've had no problems. Good service, and fast shipping. I have, however, had major issues with buying feeders from them. The problem came from the fact that they are the middle man in my case. The issue comes from location. I'm in Georgia. They are in California...

Ok, that just sounds like that one employee might not know what they're doing. Look around, the boxes will say T-12 on them. I got both my 24" and 48" T-12s at Lowe's. Home Depot should have basically the same stock.

Looks great Hpg613Dragon, though I strongly suggest you go ahead and get that styrofoam covered with a few layers of grout and sealed. It will be a great fake rock fixture. We wouldn't want a piece to break off where your dragon could eat it. It's easy. You can check out my tutorial here...

When they are young and still not used to people, they may try to hide too much. Hides are not recommended for young dragons. Once they're older, it's good to give them a cave or somewhere they can go to hide and feel safe. Once they're older, a dragon knows what's best for it. It will bask when...

If it gives off bright white light (no red) and gets you the proper temps, then it would be fine to use for your dragon.

Rocks explode in the oven because of moisture in them rapidly expanding. Changes in temperature need to happen slowly. You can still bake them. Normally, you'd just bake at 300*F for 30 minutes, but since you're so worried about them exploding, we'll slow the process down. First, leave them to...

If your local hardware store couldn't help you, then they are worthless. It's just a florescent fixture. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and tell them you need a 24 inch T-12 fixture. If you get one of the cheap utility ones you wire yourself, it will be about $10. Ask them and they will tell you how...

You could buy rocks and branches and stuff, or you can go outside and get them for FREE!!! You just need to clean and sterilize them. Once they've been scrubbed clean, bake them in the oven at 300*F (149*C) for about 30 minutes. For your branch, I don't think you want to permanently attach it by...

Here's a thread that will show you exactly how to build it, and... It's in black! viewtopic.php?f=34&t=71756&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=crossfire+made+easy
