    Best type of sand?

    Ok, finally got my new beardie home yesterday. I would have posted last night but I didn't realize how hard it is getting sand out of a 40 gallon tank :banghead: So, I traded it for the repti carpet, got all of his stuff cleaned out and got him in. He was a little cranky from being in the...

    Question on Watermelon

    Sydney's Outdoor Adventue

    For those of you who may not know, Syd is my special needs beardie with MBD and a broke back. She hasn't been outside in a while, it's been too cold. So, I was bored today and decided to make a harness for her out of fleece. Needless to say, she was not happy with me for that. She doesn't...

    Is a male required for egg-laying?

    Just kinda of a stupid question...Do females lay eggs if there isn't a male around? Just curious because my girl, Sydney, has MBD and I am worrying about her possibly laying eggs and depleting her calcium. Didn't know if they were like birds...I had a cockatiel lay eggs for 4 months before she...

    Stupid question on Greens :P

    Ok, This seems sooo stupid to ask, but does the "in between the eyes" rule go for greens too? I have been mincing the squash and greens for Sydney. Or do I just shred them? I've seen pics on here of greens that are clearing bigger than the space between the beardies eyes. Just wanted to know...

    "Emergency" Food Supply help

    Is this a reason for concern?

    Just noticed this in the last 2 weeks. Not sure if this a reason for concern or not. He's gotten considerable wider but is slow in growing in length. Sydney is about 11 inches long now and unsure of his age. He started eating too much and it seemed he was getting impacted so, I cut back on...

    Hi, new to Beardies and need a little help :)

    Hi, I am new to this forum and have recently aquired a female beardie. Sydey is supposedly almost 8 months old and she is appx. 8 1/2 inches long. From what I understand, the previous owner did not understand the "needs" of a beardie. So, I understand she is a bit small for her age. She is a...
