Mater laid her first clutch. They are unfertilized. I tried finding what dietary changes needed to be made before during after. Special foods? More calcium? She's 3yrs old so I was surprised by the eggs...

Cute little beardie! You will notice they often change colors when they are out. As babies you don't want to have them out too long though they like to be warm. I often had mine out and snuggling under a beardie blankie (washcloth).

Good that you are getting the reptisun tube...I'm waiting for my new bulbs...if only I would have waited one more day I would have got the free shipping :banghead: What are your temps? What are you feeding? Yes feeding in a separate container while their young is a good thing.

RIP Tatsu! Love and hugs...Tatsu will be missed by many. :cry:

The people at pet stores generally have no clue the proper viv and food requirements...you probably got some bad care advice in general. Glad you found this forum! The previous poster was right about the size.

I would post this in the health forum...it may get a quicker response. But I think you may be told no UVB is better than a bad one.

Sorry I was referring to the shop owner as a "he". I tend to place gender in a conversation like that. Good luck on finding people to take them. As for me I'm good with just my one. For now...

If beardies are eating each and the owner isn't doing anything about it that is animal abuse and he will continue this practice until someone stops him. Buying beardies from him will just encourage the owner to continue doing what they are doing. Calling the ASPCA or your local animal authority...

I would try reporting them to the authorities for animal abuse. If you buy them they will think they can get away with it and get more beardies to abuse.

That is an insanely cute black beard! I will not show these pics to my girl. She hasn't met a man yet and I don't want her thinking she needs to lay some eggs looking at your handsome man! :lol:

I LOVE his colors! Mater is very impressed! :lol:

Aww she looks so much like Mater! Well except she looks happy, almost like she is smiling! :D Mater is forever looking at me the way most cats do. You know that "you are so inferior to me human, now buzz of and go do slave things". :roll:

Her MVB makes the pics turn out that way, she is getting ready to shed but she's normally pretty orange/red.

So I thought I'd jump on the wagon and start Mater a thread. Mater is just over 2 years old now. So I had been noticing Mater or Matera (when I can remember he is a she) hasn't been basking like herself the few days. So I take her out give her a bath, wrap her up for some cuddle time and...

I cut a hole slightly smaller than the dome, then pulled the dome up through the hole and secured the dome from the inside of the cage.

Aha! Then yes it sounds to me like you will be good on ventilation...if you find it is too warm no matter what you do you can always drill more.

You may have a hard time controlling your temps with a sliding screen door. You will lose a lot of heat.

I have mine in a dome outside, the bulb is so big that it takes up a lot of height inside the viv so I opted dome.

You need a ceramic socket rated for a high wattage/heat bulb. I tend to stay 50-100watts above the wattage of the bulb I'm using. You can get these at home improvement stores, someone should be able to point you in the right direction. I uses a dome with a ceramic socket. If the socket can't...

What a cute family! That baby melts my heart!
