First off - I am quite impressed that I managed to remember both my username and password after 6 years of absence! My first beardie, Kaiba, passed away a while back, after which hubby and I started selling all of our animals. (We had also just had our first daughter & simply didn't have the...

YKYLWBW: When planning your new garden, plants are chosen purely on whether the dragons can eat them or not!

Just realized I couldn't exactly have a pregnant MALE beardie lol, so why specify female... Anyway...

Hi everyone I have a pregnant female dragon, and would like more info on how best to keep her healthy at this time. I have upped her calcium and she is eating well. 1st question, how long from mating to laying eggs? Info on how to prepare a lay box would also be appreciated. Many thanks!

Another online store that had good prices was : http://www.reptilecorner.co.za. They are based in Roodepoort.

My fiancee and I have recently gotten another beardie and a chameleon and so started hunting around for better prices. :wink: We found this guy: Jason Demaine @ Reptiles & Crickets Tel: (011) 915 0847 Tel / Fax: 011 915 0846 Cell: 076 825 3346 Webpage: http://www.reptilesandcrickets.co.za/ He...

Okay if this isn't typical then I don't know... 2 minutes after I post this he poops. :banghead: I'm just too glad he did lol

Hi all... My beardie hasn't pooped for a week now and I am getting really nervous about it! He is about a year old. I recently went to the US for a month and my boyfriend took care of him during that time, however he says that Kaiba was pretty regular (pooped at least every 2nd day) while with...

Thanks Tigg :D I appreciate the info a lot! I am planning to get a bigger tank anyway so will try find a MVB. Most of the pet stores I've been to recently are jumping onto the 'coil lights are great' bandwagon and it gets me so :angry5: but my baby will get the best only.

Hi everyone. :blob8: I am looking to replace to my UVB light, at the moment I am using a tube tho not sure about exact brands. The guy at the reptile store wants to sell me a Repti Glo Coil light, and after reading some posts here I'm under the impression that is no good. So three...

It might be possible for this to happen naturally, however looking at their needs re UVB & humidity (and the risk of overexposure) I do not see that silkbacks would survive very well if left in the wild. In which case natural selection would ensure that they cease to exist. So I still feel that...

I don't mean to offend, but after looking at some pictures I have to say silkbacks are the ugliest dragon I have ever seen. They look like a snake with legs. I really don't understand why humans can't leave animals the way they were naturally meant to be. I actually feel :puke:

You receive a bunch of flowers/roses and first thing that crosses your mind is 'i wonder whether my beardie is allowed/will enjoy any of these'? :wink:

Thank you Taryn7 :D I am happy to say I don't need him right now, but would rather have a number on me then have to start searching for one if there is ever an emergency.

Thanks Holly :D It's great being able to come to this site and know you are getting expert advice! :blob8: I love BD.org :blob8:

Hey everyone :blob5: I was recently told that I should not handle my dragon for at least a week after he has shed, as his skin is 'sore'. Fact or Fiction?! :?

Hi I am looking for a good vet for my beardie in the Joburg area. Can anyone recommend one please? Thank you!! :wink:

SOS is going to be the 2nd and 3rd of May, at Emperors Palace, Jones Rd, near the JHB airport. Will give more details when I'm back home :blob8: Okay as promised here are the details: SOS 7th Annual Reptile Expo Date: 2nd & 3rd May 2009 Time: 9am - 4pm Venue: Emperors Palace, Kempton Park...

Thank you Holly, I would agree going natural is a wiser approach. Thank you to everyone who replied so far :blob5: I recently got him a new piece of driftwood and changed his viv around a bit... Perhaps his 'restlessness' is just him exploring a bit!
