    Incubator question

    We are waiting on eggs and have a wine cooler all set up temp holding at 84 degrees. My question is what is the ambient humidity of the incubator supposed to be? I have read 80% and have read not to worry about it just keep the vermiculite moist. What do you do and why? Thank you, Stephanie

    Out of the mouths of Babes

    Last Wednesday on the way home from work I had my 4 year old son strapped in his seat in the back seat of my car. The music was up and my daughter and I were chatting in the front seat about what was for dinner that night. All of a sudden my son screamed, "MOM! LOOK THE MOON IS IN SHED!"...

    Liquid calcium

    Is there a standard dose for liquid calcium by weight for a healthy dragon? The powder you put on your crickets once a day and really you cant tell how much you are giving. I have looked on beautifuldragon.com but don't see it anywhere. Is there a book or something I can purchase that will...

    retained shed

    What causes retained shed? My dragons are all shedding fine, but one has a duller drier tail then normal. I noticed it when he shed his tail last week, about half way down is where it starts and it extends to teh end. It looks very dull and dry. I am going to get some aloe and try rubbing...

    How warm?

    How warm should it be before you take your beardies outside to sit in the sun? We are going through a warm spell here in California right now, and while it feels warm to me (supposed to be 70) this weekend, I really doubt it is warm enough yet to take them out. Am I right? I swear I have such...

    UVB light

    Hey guys, My husband just got done building a 4 tier cage. The deminsions are 39w x 18h x 24d. We have a 36' reptisun 10.0 that spans the back of the cage, and a heat light on the right side. I am using a 75w spot light for heat. My question is the reptisuns seem to run hot. We can turn...

    A little confused

    Ok so I have read so much conflicting information. Give calcium without D3...make sure you have calcium with D3. At this point in time I am giving it without the D3 and all my dragons (except for the rescue with mbd) are doing fine. I guess my question is should my calcium have D3 or not...

    How do you measure

    While lurking and reading and learning I have noticed that most peoples dragons are larger then mine while they are the same age. This leads me to believe I must be measuring wrong. I have one girl that I was told was born in May and she seems like she should be about 15 inches but when I pull...

    bathing

    Hello all, I have a question about bathing. I have numerous juvies and was wondering if bathing them togetther was ok. I have quite a few females and 2 males, they are all relatively close to the same size. Just wondering because bathing them one at a time is taking me like 3-4 hours...

    mercury vapor vs tube?

    Hello, My husband is going to build melamine cages for our breeder beardies (1 per cage). He is unsure if he should put mercury's or tube lighting with a heat lamp. The deminsions of the cage will be 48l x 24w x 18h. Our concern is the height. The lamp will be hard wired inside and hang...

    MBD question

    I guess mine isn't an emergency more of a question. I aquired a very very sick baby beardie from Craigslist (swore my husband off that darn thing we keep rescuing sick pets!). She had advanced stages of mbd (not vet checked as I dont have the $$ for a reptile vet bill). Spine was very...

    To many Pheonix worms? (graphic)

    So we rescued a beardie with mbd. Yes we have all the required lights, heat, calcium, D3 and such. I just got our order of Pheonix worms and was working with her today, feeding the worms. I kept at it until she decided no more; after about 5 minutes, and maybe 8 worms. They are quite small...

    Swiss Chard

    Hello, I am new to this board, and have a question. I just bought a ton of swiss chard for my beardies because it was one of the only bunches of "greens" that looked really good today at the store. I also bought mustard greens, and red chard. My question is this, is the chard ok to give my...
