We have successfully completed one cylce of superworms - from worm, to pupae (aliens), to adult beetles, and now babies!! My question is ... can larger baby worms stay with the really small baby worms? We left our beetles a bit long and have a couple different "batches" of babies. Thanks.

We are trying our hand at breeding superworms and have been watching them and just noticed that some changed to the whitish color stage, My DH is out of town for a week and now i have to figure out what to do with them? Any help would be great, We are not 100% when to start to put them in the...

We've had our beardie for a couple weeks now - he's a 4yr old. He's been very regular - once a day, and sometimes even twice a day. His poops have been what we think are normal - a little liquid stuff, the white urate, and then the darker, more solid poop. This morning he had an "explosion"...

We just got an adult beardie about 2 weeks ago - still sorting out a name for him - that wasn't receiving the BEST care. We gave him his first baths in his life and he was in a REALLY dirty viv. There was sand substrate that looked as if it hadn't been changed in months. Totally disgusting...

We are proud new owners of a 4yr old beardie. He is eating pretty good, but it seems like he only eats the greens we give him about every other day. I'm wondering if we are giving too much and he eats lots one day but doesn't want any the next. So, how much greens do you guys give your adult...

We have a few superworms here in a bran/oatmeal mixture with some potato. We've noticed that a couple of them have turned white. Does anyone know why they do that? Thanks.

Our 4 year old male beardie has been gaping allot, We know that gaping is a sign of high temps but his temps are between 98 and 105(digital with a probe). We also don't think it is just temp related because we had him out for a cuddle and when we put him back in the tank he started gaping...

We just got an adult beardie (still sorting out a good name for him!) and he's adjusting to us slowly. The strange thing is that he totally loves me. I can pick him up and he is nice and calm. But my wife - that's another story. Since the first time she picked him up he will try for...

We just brought home a 4 year old male beardie - still sorting out a good name for him. I realize that black beards are "normal" and nothing to be overly concerned about. The odd thing is that when he wakes up his beard is pretty black, but then by the evening it is just sort of grey. I'm...

I've been to the Beautiful Dragons nutrition list and it's GREAT! My biggest problem is I can't find very many of the daily staple greens here in Manitoba. I've been to every store in my town and can't find them. Been to Winnipeg (bigger city) and can't find collard greens. The best I've...

We have spent countless hours on this forum and have learned a PILE of great stuff for general beardie care. We were expecting to get a baby beardie and watch it grow up. Instead, we got an amazing deal on an adult red. We figured we would double check a few things because we know adults are...

OK...I have done a search and thought I would clarify our needs before I go buy our first supply of calcium. First, we are using a 160W Solar Glo MVB so I know we need calcium with NO D-3. The thing I want to be sure of is the phosphorous. Should we be looking for something with no...

OK. This is a bit confusing for me. This is what it says for choosing the right Solar Glo bulb: Does that mean it doesn't matter whether you have the 125W or 160W bulb that the minimum distance is 12"? I can't wrap my head around having a 30+" high enclosure then having the bulb 12" away...

I just saw this forum for Beardie rescue and thought i would post here as well, We have a post in health as well. Here is the link: http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=96903 We are getting this breadie this week If everything goes OK:) What would be the best way to start to...

I am pretty sure I will be using an Exo-Terra SolarGlo MVB. It seems to be the only MVB in our area other than the PowerSun which I've heard have a bad reputation of burning out early. I will probably order a MegaRay as our replacement, I'm just too impatient to wait. :) I'm not entirely sure...

This is the story as we know it. The local pet store in town has a young dragon. When they first got him (for lack of sexing ability right now) he had really nice color, but had a crusted eye. They received him that way and assumed it was sand (bad practices from parent store as well as their...

I do not know if this is the right place but i was looking on the bd.org site and see ALOT of breeders. Then my mind started going :) and i was thinking of all the time, care and money that goes into breeding and starting asking myself how everyone got into it? Did you just get your first one...

Well...here are the first few shots of our enclosure. I just need to put the tracking on and get the glass for the front. Then it's time to shop for lights!! :) Here's a few shots: That is the inside to show all the venting we have. The outside. One with our baby in it. :D Soon enough...

OK...I've been visiting this forum for a bit now and have been picking up lots of recommendations for our viv that we are building and getting setup. My challenge is finding a place to purchase a beardie from. They either have young beardies on calci-sand, improper UVB (such as using a...

I saw on retileuv.com a lighting option that started to make me think. It was suggested to use a 60W EB light kit along with a 40-60W regular bulb. The MVB emits enough UVB for the beardie but not necessarily enough heat. Use the MVB full strength and then setup the regular 40-60W bulb on a...
