We were in a local pet store last Sunday, killing time, and went over to the reptiles section as we usually do. We found this guy in a 40 gallon breeder on the floor, no lights, but glass dancing around with lots of energy and a full black beard. (He had his eye on a female beardie across the...

We bought what turned out to be one of the bad Megarays at the beginning of January - one of the bulbs with frosting on the surface of it - and promptly got a replacement from ReptileUV that looked fine with no frosting. Nero was under the first bad bulb for only a day. Then we got the...

I'm looking to upgrade Nero's viv soon to a 4 feet x 2 feet x 19 inch one - a Boamaster (here http://boamaster.com/products/4ft_b_dragon_enclosure_screen_top-50-4.html), that is if I can't find one locally or on craigslist. His current one is a 40 gallon. At any rate, his new viv is...

This beautiful handmade blanket was one of our Christmas presents, but obviously Nero has other ideas. :roll:

Hi, I am currently doing some research into getting an ackie monitor and on the kingsnake.com monitor forum I was reading a MVB lighting discussion. One of the posts says this: "Mercury vapor bulbs should be replaced yearly, like a traditional UV light. They'll still light up but there'll be...

Hi, I got a fecal done on Nero last week and it turns out that he has "a few eggs" (vet quote). I think she said pinworms - there were no tapeworms or hookworms. The vet said beardies naturally have low numbers of parasites in their systems but she did not recommend medicating him right now...

I was gone all day today and I think Nero was feeling needy.

Hi, This morning, Nero had his daily poop during bathtime. He strained a little to get it out. A reddish-orange-brown ball came out, attached to the white urates. The ball didn't look hard, though. The rest of the poop looked normal. Here are pics. The first one was taken while it was...

Just wanted to share: My friend made it for Nero. She added a bell in the back, also. It couldn't have come too soon because we had a scare with him yesterday - it was out of viv time and he scampered off with my back turned. After tearing up the living room for an hour and a half, my...

Just thought I'd share... although it's not news you WANT to hear about, but I wanted to confirm that hornworms can cannibalize each other. There was a recent thread about it on the forums but I never thought I'd ever see it myself. Turns out there wasn't enough food in the cup, and this...

Do you play games with your beardie? Or try to train him or her? (Besides training them to poop in the bath, I mean.) I'm just curious :D

Hi... I did use the search function, but didn't come up with much. Nero is anywhere from 12 to 15 months old, and 17" long. He was a pet store beardie and one of the smallest ones in his tank. I know he's still small, but he's definitely slowed down on growing, though he doesn't look anywhere...

I did use the search function, but couldn't find much help... We are looking into a new viv for Nero. Can the "critter condo"/crossfire type of viv accommodate an MVB (by this I mean a totally enclosed viv except for the front door)? I like the look of them, but it seems like there might not...

Hello, I will start a dubia colony in the next few weeks. They're slow but I figure it would be good for a first-timer. Ideally I would like to start feeding from it regularly in about two months but earlier would be nice. At least my crix bin will be empty by then, haha. I'm looking at...

I have been lurking here for three months... a long time but I finally felt comfortable enough to say hello! Our beardie, Nero, was "about a year old" when we got him at a pet store, but all he did for the next two months was eat like a juvie... so I think he wasn't getting enough food - as he...
