Hey all! After my daughter's speech in class about Beardies, her teacher asked her if she was interested in bringing one into class. So, how do I go about doing this? I haven't taken my babies visiting before, the only travelling they've done was to come home (in their tank or a rubbermaid)...

As in, if mine went black after the first day of use, and now after just a few weeks it won't go on, does that mean it's a bad bulb? And that the last 2 bulbs I've gotten were both bad because they only lasted a few weeks and blackened on one or both ends immediately? I had the first one...

My daughter is doing her grade 6 speech on Beardies and would like to know where they originated from, as in, what two animals made them... is there an answer to that? I googled it & didn't get much other than they came from Australia. Can anyone direct me to an article or something that would...

I tried searching for these first but only the word flourescent showed up, no references to T5 or T8 would show up for me. My question is, what is the difference? I was in a specialty greenhouse store that sold plant lights, and one was the Sunburst T5 - came in tubes and the spiral bulb as...

Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing well! We are now under the new billing with hydro - high peak times: 7am-11am, 5pm-9pm = 9.9cents; mid-peak: 11am-5pm = 8.3cents; and off peak: 9pm-7am = 4.4cents/kwh. Setting up new lights for our guys soon with new vivs for everyone (all 4 beardies, 3...

Got it at Home Depot for $10, it's got a plastic probe end though, for indoor/outdoor use - outdoor uses the probe. I believe it's got a 1 degree variance, but with it being plastic, is that a problem? Anyway, all my temps are bang on! Baby's basking spot is 114F and low end is 87F. That's...

Since our new little one lost her sister shortly after coming to us, I have been extra diligent with her care, keeping an eye on her constantly to make sure she's happy & healthy. Well last night before bedtime I went in to check on her and found her stuck behind the rock cave between the tank...

Hey all, I just checked the light that came with the baby I bought the other day, it's a blue 50W Zoo Med - is this a UV light? I can't see anywhere on it that it states that and it came with the lamp and setup, so I don't know if it's actually a UV - the breeder I got it from said he's...

So now with the two new additions here, I am hunting for new tank setups and wondering what types of wood is safe for our babies? I know cedar is not, which stinks b/c my hubby brought home the coolest branch from a tree he cut down for someone. I know we need to freeze the wood in order to...

Oh wow, dang free online classifieds got me again, LOL... Tonight I see 2 baby beardies plus tank and lights and basking log for a fairly low price, posted just a couple hours earlier. So I email, leave my ph# and before the message saying my email was sent left my screen my phone was ringing...

Crack was out in the garden yesterday like usual and he was eating the clovers and pansies just nicely. Then a gust of wind decided to blow a piece of cello wrap/plastic wrap right onto the ground in front of him. Well before I could even react, he hunted it and gobbled it right up! It wasn't as...

Crack was out in his garden today having a munch on his flowers - which he is doing really great with, eats maybe 10 bites a day of his plants, but that's more than he's ever eaten when offered greens in his tank. At any rate, he decided he was done with his greens and it was time to explore. So...

Yessiree folks, I planted my garden based on what Crack can eat and since it was so nice & sunny out today I was finally able to take him to explore his special garden... So far it's pretty pathetically flooded with pansies as I haven't gotten in the rest of the plants I ordered yet, but still...

My almost 2 yr old guy won't eat any greens offered whatsoever, no fruits/veggies, etc. He's stuck on only eating his worms - all the different worms, still not interested in his crickets either. We had him out in our garden the other day as it was nice & warm and he went nuts for the tulip...

So things have been going better with Crack lately, he's shedding right now which was the reason for his discolouration, his limp is gone from that jump off the couch and he's eager to eat his superworms again. We got him the 4 ft tube UV light as it fit into a light we already had, and in the...

Not his salad, but he's going after the superworms like a champ!! I'm so excited! Figuring on his discolouration to be an upcoming shed, I've been bathing him each afternoon now. Mind you he's done after 5 mins in there but I hold onto him and plunk my hand under the water with him laying on it...

Since our little Crack is having a fun time feeding (as in not eating his greens and not being super interested in live prey) we've resorted to feeding him baby food from the syringe (which he does pretty well with but definitely isn't eating a lot) and well, baby food is only good in the fridge...

There's a local ad with baby beardies for sale... they're 2 weeks old... isn't that too young to be selling them already?

Ok, this is the worst thing I imagined could happen... we've only had him close to a month now, he's not been eating properly since we got him, he's got the calcium deficiency twitch, etc... I've been trying to snuggle him daily the past few days to see if that would brighten his mood and so far...

I'm wondering if he's depressed maybe? I've heard of "relocation stress" but this is getting me worried. We got him a few weeks ago now, he's supposedly 18mos old. We added proper lights and a proper basking area so all his temps are bang on what they should be. He's a picky eater so I was told...
