    Smelly enclosures

    I have 5 different dragons that are separated in 3 different enclosures right now. I have the sand in the enclosures right now and haven't had many problems except for the smell of the enclosures. Is there any type of substrates that help with the odor? I clean the poop and stuff out of the...

    What is the best substrate and the best place to buy it?

    I know that this is often times a controversial issue, what is the best substrate? I have some of my dragons on sand and some on tile and have had a problem with neither of them. Sometimes on the tile, I see them "pealing out" and not moving anywhere when they are in chase of a roach or...

    Using a rack system??

    Does anyone have a rack system that they have for their dragons? I know that I have seen some before on here or some other site. I have seen where they have sliding tubs in a rack and mounted uvb and basking bulbs over the tubs. Anyone seen many of these? Post links??

    Males or females?

    I have two larger bearded dragons and I look at them both to determine the sex, but I can't really tell. I have a few pictures that I took of their underside, bending their tails back like you should to determine the sex. The first two are the same and the final three are the same. Please help...

    Beardie Not eating much!!!! Need reasons why?

    Her stools are the normal brown with the white phosphorus or whatever it is. They don't look runny, just kinda smaller than usual. She has went 3 times in the past week. Probably because of the low food intake. She has still been very active in the aquarium that I have quarantined her to and...

    Beardie Not eating much!!!! Need reasons why?

    I have a reptisun 5.0 bulb for the flourescent along with a 100 watt basking bulb that makes the temperature around 110 or so. I feed her a combination of greens including spinach, romaine, and I give her some squash every few days also. I dust the meals with clacium 4-5 times a week and...

    Do you need a substrate for mealworm beetles?

    What is the cheapest and easiest way to make a lot of bedding? I looked at walmart and all they have is a small jar of wheat germ and a canaster of oatmeal. Is there any place else that I can get something in a larger quantity?

    Beardie Not eating much!!!! Need reasons why?

    ok, so I separated them and she still isn't eating much. She has been eating some greens and she pooped in the new cage once in the last 4 days, but still won't eat much. I give her baths and mist so she don't dehydrate, but is there anything else I can do?

    Do you need a substrate for mealworm beetles?

    So should I leave the oatmeal in there, or is it good enough to just have the egg crates in there with them? What is the best substrate to have in there with them? Also, is there a cheap place to get the actual meal worm bedding from in a larger quantity than 1-2 pounds?

    Do you need a substrate for mealworm beetles?

    I am breeding meal worms for my sugar gliders and bearded dragons and have around 50 beetles now. I was curious if you need substrate for them. I have oatmeal in the bottom now, but it is going to be hard to see the baby worms when they hatch. Do I need that in there or can I just have egg...

    Can you house more than one together at all? I have seen enclosures where there are three to four together, but is that when they are full grown and matured?

    Beardie Not eating much!!!! Need reasons why?

    I have two female dragons in a 4x2x2 enclosure and one of them hasn't been eating very much at all. The one female is about an inch larger than the other and looks heartier, but that is because she has been eating a lot more. The other female is 12" long and looks a little on the skinny side...

    Brummation Questions!!

    I keep my basking spots and temps pretty regular. Basking spot is about 110-115 and the ambient temp is probably around 75-80 right now and maybe around 70-75 towards the front of the cage. I have a ceramic heat emitter in the enclosure to help raise the ambient temp and a heat pad in one corner...

    Brummation Questions!!

    Is there any way that you could tell that it is parasites or not? I am in nebraska and it gets pretty cold so I was wondering if they could sense a change in the temp and season at that age. One of the females is about an inch or two larger than the other and she seems to be the one that has...

    Hatchling Help!!

    I just got 5 new baby beardies from someone that had about 13 hatch. They were a lot smaller than the first few beardies that I got. They are probably about 2 weeks old, if that, and about 3" long. Is there any specific needs that I have to give them compared to my other babies when I had them...

    Brummation Questions!!

    Is it possible for a couple female beardies that are only about 6 months old to go through brummation or hibernation? I have a couple females that have only been eating a few crickets a day, if any at all, and they haven't really been basking or coming out of their hiding spots very much. Is...
