    Slate tile how to?

    I'm looking into using slate tile in my beardie's viv, and I think I'm going to go with the un-grouted method so I can pull them out for easier cleaning. But I have lots of questions... How tight of a fit do I need so there's not a chance of his toes getting caught? I mean it can't be too...

    Which one of these is best for an adult dragon?

    So I'm looking to get my dragon a bigger, better enclosure, but I'm not sure if I should go for tall or wide. There are lots of different options here: http://www.petco.com/product/115538/Exo-Terra-Glass-Terrarium.aspx?CoreCat=firstinresult_ReptileHabitatsdecpost Which would be best? Price...

    Everything always breaks at the same time =\

    That's how it feels anyway. I just replaced the basking bulb (just a 100 watt daylight bulb) and realized that the fixture is quickly falling apart. Then I noticed that the tube bulb was out. THEN I picked up the tube fixture and it's falling apart too! So, basically the only thing that doesn't...

    Best place to buy...

    feeders in the West? I've always ordered from Premium Crickets, living in PA and SC. We just moved to WA so I'm in search of a reliable place to order crickets and worms out here. :) Any suggestions?

    Getting another beardie while pregnant?

    Found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks ago :) I've been thinking about getting another beardie, but want to ask all of you if I should wait since of the risk of salmonella? I would get a baby from a breeder. Also, I've had Pip for a year - so there shouldn't be anything to worry about with...

    Doesn't need calcium supplement?

    Alright I'm out the door in a couple of minutes, but have been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks... Pippin's urates have been looking like he gets too much calcium (darker, little yellow bits all over) but I haven't been dusting his crickets or anything (because of this.) He had phoenix...

    Red in poop + acting strange...?

    Okay, my beardie had a poop yesterday that looked pretty weird. There was some red in his urate, and the poop wasn't runny or loose, but it seems like there was water that came out too, because the paper towel had a yellow-ish spread stain around the poo. Also, I came home today to find that he...

    Methods of cleaning cricket set-ups?

    I get 500 at a time and have them in a Rubbermaid tote with a screen in the lid. There is cricket food, cricket water, and egg crates and paper towel tubes. I try to clean it once a week. Is it possible to clean the tote without losing like 50 crickets? My problem is mainly that I want to get...

    Red spots in feces?

    My little micro-beardie (who is quickly becoming not so micro) has had little red spots in his poo today and yesterday. I noticed it is also a bit looser than normal. About a week ago I began feeding him online-ordered crickets (premiumcrickets) and a couple of days ago a gave him some squash...

    Couple of questions!

    I kind of just want to verify what I'm doing is okay! Pippin usually only eats once a day (about 2-3 hours before bedtime, so there is enough time to digest). This is when he eats crickets. I also feed him collards, but he only eats 4-6 small, hand-fed pieces 4-5 days a week. (Times vary...

    Dented patch of scales??

    I just noticed a small patch of scales behind his left eyes are "dented." They don't seem to hurt him, but I'm not sure about that because he has been closing that eye some (more than normal, anyway.) The scales kind of look dead or something--they're dull in color, compared to the rest of him...

    Dark stress marks lately...

    Usually Pippin has a very light belly and seems happy, but lately (about a week?) he has had constant stress marks and doesn't seem very pleased. He is still alert, though... eats and poops normally. The temperatures are correct and everything, so I'm at a loss of what's wrong. Could this just...

    Doesn't eat much (won't go after crickets)

    So my baby Pippin doesn't eat much. I recently switched it up from PWs back to crix, but the decline in intake had begun before that. I can tell he's hungry, though, because if one of the crix crawls in front of him, he lunges at it. But unless it's not RIGHT in front of him, it's like he's too...

    Going away for three days, what do I need?

    I don't want to take the tank, because it's too heavy. I have a storage container, but I'm worried because it's not clear (it's blue) and that it's too tall. Will it be okay, if he can still get close to his fluorescent and his temps are right? I'm also taking paper towels for substrate, his...

    HELP! (bitten by a rat!)

    My baby beardie (6") was just bitten by a rat. :cry: He has a little cut on his neck and a little blood came from his nostril. How can I help the cuts heal and keep him out of pain? I want to make sure he's okay!! And how can I keep him from getting an infection??

    Shedding questions?

    Okay so Pippin, between 1-2 months, keeps shedding tiny little pieces on his legs and tail. (Normal, right?) Is it normal for him to not eat while shedding? Because he hasn't eaten anything but a wax worm yesterday. He'll just run away from the crickets if I offer one. Another thing? Does it...

    Is this normal for a baby?

    Today he hasn't been himself. (Pippin is 1-2 months old, 5") Usually he likes being held... crawls around licking things. But today he's been... grouchy. His beard puffs up a little bit every few seconds and he constantly glares. What's up?

    Tiny little baby beardie!

    Bath time! "I want out." He looooves his plant. "My plant." "I won't eat that worm. It has lettuce on it!"
