I agree with all of the above posters. Even my hermit crabs don't like the calcisand. It clumps so much they can't even dig in it! When wet it is more like cement than anything else. I think sand of any type is a mess to keep clean anyway. It gets everywhere and when you have to switch it...

I bought a roll of non-adhesive shelf liner. Buttercup always poops in her bath, so I just vacuum up loose shed with a dust buster about once a week. I have to check under the shelf liner for escapee worms but other than that I have no probs. When she first got here and she was not "potty...

Welcome Chris. Yeah for roaches. They are soooo much cleaner. You will love them and so will Big Red & Sydney. Pics Please!

I totally agree. You should treat all reptiles as if they have salmonella since the chance is very high that they do. That being said, the best way to avoid salmonella contamination is to wash hands after handling your dragon and not cleaning beardie stuff where you are likely to have contact...

If he is 16" long you can try superworms. Buttercup was big enough for supers around 5 months old. Petco and Petsmart do not carry these other types of worms. You can try premiumcrickets.com or mulberryfarms.com for phoenix worms, and silkworms and roaches. The Roachguy also has roaches. If...

Have you tried to handle him when he's asleep? We call it the beardie burrito here. Wrap him up in a cloth when he's really tired or asleep and let him lay on you while he's sleeping. I did this with Buttercup when she was a baby and it worked really well. She would watch TV with me at night...

:( Oh....I'm so sory to hear about Norbert. I missed his intro thread but I went to look at it when I saw this thread. He was such a cutie. So sorry he didn't make it. Hugs to you and Cooper.

I like to let Buttercup roam around the house while I am doing laundry etc, but I worry about her getting too cold so I have a clamp lamp with a 125 watt MVB and a 2 foot step stool. I attach the clamp lamp to the side of a table and put the step stool under it. I have a cushion that I put...

He is adorable! Love your viv too. Good Job!

:wink: Yeah, those of us who eat chicken on a regular basis are really in trouble!

Thanks everyone for your answers. As much as Buttercup puffs up and black beards me she has never actually bitten me. It seems that it is mostly for show so I am not terribly afraid of her at this point. If I'm really worried she will bite me them I put a towel on the floor in front of her...

Oh, it is beautiful! I will have to get one of each. I'll give one to my hubby for a Christmas present. :lol: (He's not crazy about beardies. How is that possible?)

:D That is exactly what Buttercup does! She wanders for a little while then finds the most inacessible place in the room to hide. Then I have to try and get her out! That is when she gets mad. I've tried blocking off the places she can get into but then it takes me 15 minutes to get a room...

Has anyone seen a dog drag it's hiney across the floor? We call it the toot scoot. It is because they have a build up of feces/oi in their anal glands and they are trying to get it out. On your carpet. Feces carries e-coli. Then you drop something on the ground or lie on the carpet and...

So Buttercup is 6 months old now and quite a bit bigger than when I got her. I'm feeling confident that if I let her roam around the den that she will not be able to get away because she would have to go up a large step to get out of this area and I don't think she is big enough yet for that...

I agree with previous poster. Mealworms are too fatty to be good for beardies. Too much fat in a beardies diet causes fatty liver disease as well as problems with the kidneys later in life. I call them beardie potato chips because they like them a lot and they are crunchy, but you wouldn't...

Grandma's are cool! Grandma's with lizards are SuperCool. :headbang:

Sorry if this question has been asked previously. I didn't have time to go through all 21 pages of this forum to find out. I have noticed that newcomers ask a lot of the same question. I myself have been guilty of this on numerous occassions. Would it be beneficial for us to have a seperate...

Oh my gosh! The beardie costume is so cute! Did you make it? Can y daughter borrow it next Halloween? I especially love the beardie acessory. Your daughter is adorable by the way. I love her hair.

Hmm, so you have Dave and Yoshi already. I, myself, like goofy names. Hence the name Buttercup. We also had a black lab named Butterbean. I had also considered Daisy, Petunia, and Fred. Oh well, I'm not so good at names either. Hope you find one you like soon!
