See the problem with the calci-sand is that it turns into stones inside the bd's belly, and also, it is made up of sharp little fragments that can damage your dragon's insides. It's best to stay away from ALL sand, because of the risk of impaction, (the way I feel is that 1% chance is still too...

Welcome!! Keep checking the posts here, you'll learn alot of info! Hope you have a better experience with this new beardie!!

BD's aren't social creatures, it's best not to house them together. In fact, two males will fight for territory, and so will to females if I remeber correctly. Also, males reach sexual maturity earlier than females, and will mate will females too early, and can cause egg binding. Also, they can...

Hey, just wanted to see how things are going with your beardie. Got any pics yet?

I feed her in her enclosure, but I spend each night chasing down those crix, so it may be best to feed it seperate...Saphira is sooo picky that she will only eat in her cage. I order my crix from a petco site...but you can get MUCH cheaper on other sites, like lllreptile. I just like the...

It might be best to order them in bulk...cuz you'll need them. I feed my beardie about 30 a day! So if you get a large rubbermaid tub, with a large screen cover, some cricket feed and some cricket quencher, you can keep about 1000 for about 3 months (though I only keep 250 at a time). Only...

Baby beardies need ALOT of protein, so you want to feed them about 80% crickets, lobster roaches, etc, and 20% veggies. Offer him as many crickets as he will eat in 10-15 minutes about 2 or 3 times a day. I keep greens in there constantly, and my lil guy tears them up! Also, you can feed him...

Hello! I just figured that since we named our dragons alike you should meet mine as well. This is SAPHIRA, and she's about 4 months old (almost)

Saphira goes crazy when we go outside together! She fights to get free from my hands but only to climb up to my shoulder to get to the sun! She also loves bathing, but gets very moody when she wants out. Almost as if to say "Get me out...I've had enough...NOW!!"

No kidding! She recognizes me already and runs to my hands when I reach into the cage. She eats all her veggies, and I was even able to train her to drink from a dish! She is so cute when she sleeps! She crosses her arms and lays her head on them!

Thanks for th tips. I'm aware of the issues with sand as a substrate. I did research before purchasing Saphira. Right now she is in a cage with carpet, but in a month or so will be ready for sand. The sand I bought is sifted play sand. I think I may just stick with Saphira for now. I'd rather...

Oh I did not know that...the breeder I bought her from said that she would be fine with a male....what about another female? I have silica free play sand in the enclosure. I was told it was safer for them.

I like to use names from legends and stuff for my reptiles. Have a snake named Phoenix and one named Athena, and my beardies are named after dragons in movies and books. Saphira, from Eragon, and Falkor from The Never Ending Story. How about the male names Quetzalacotl, Ancalagon, Ra, or lol...

Hello, I'm kinda new to beardies, but not to reptiles. This is my new beardie Saphira, just found out today that she is a female. Isn't she beautiful? I've had many reptiles, but I really think my beardie has the most personality. Also included are some pictures of the enclosure I built for her...
