    General Tso put on his big boy pants!

    Okay, he doesn't wear pants... Anyway, just for fun, I went and measured General Tso the other day. He went and grew up on me! Last time I measured (not too long ago) he was 15". Now at 5.5 mo's of age, General Tso is pegging out at 19" :shock: (oh and he's GORGEOUS in color!) I'll...

    ....and you guys get to wait for pics bwahahahahaha lol I went over and finished up the wiring on my viv I was having built. I was so sure I was going to have to redo it a few times to get it right, but I wired the timer, dimmers, lights, CHE's and everything up and it all popped on perfectly...

    male and... male? DOH

    well the beardies are still young but now old enough to tell the sex. General Tso was purchased from Howling Gale Dragons as a probable male. Yup. Pores on the legs, double bumps on base of tail... male. Mushu was purchased from a local "reptile specialty" pet store. Probable Female...

    Sorting Dubia

    I heard mention of a Dubia sorting video someone might be putting together. I have a two-bin setup. Breeders and feeders. I'd love to know an elegant (simple) way to sort through them every few weeks to seperate the feeders from breeders. I've seen a bucket w/ holes in it scenario. If...

    Impatience... when will they pay off?

    I know this post is pre-emptive... but... I've had the dubia colony for a few days shy of a month. I have a TON of adult females, plenty of males to "service" them, and 125 or so large nymphs that are turning adult all the time. They have temp gradients from 95 to 85, 60% humidity, food...

    General Tso and Mushu: Getting big and impatient

    Dubias...I swear I can hear creepy music playing...

    I'm at work, and I just checked the tracking... The Dubias I ordered are at my friend's house as we speak,(where the bins are going to be kept until Jamie and I buy our house) just waiting for me to get over there and.... open the box! :puke: *shudders* I'm glad I am out for the welfare of...

    My upcoming Techo-tanks

    Many of you already know I'm having custom twin stacked vivs built for me by a carpenter friend. I thought I'd share a bit more about the eventual setup. Also, I know how much you love pics of everything, so I intentionally omitted those just to tease you! BWAHAHAHA. hehe. Anyway, the...

    Friends dont let friends... hold beardies.

    yeah... so my friend Steve came over and held General Tso for a few minutes while he was over. I called him last night to talk about his forthcoming child (c-section today at 3:30) but all he could talk about was how I should start looking on Craigslist and help him get the stuff together...

    A few misc questions finishing up viv

    okay. I've been having a friend build me my custom stacked vivs for... well.... far too long. General Tso and Mushu are outgrowing their temporary enclosure that they were only supposed to stay in for a few weeks. It's finally nearing completion and from looking at it, I think it's all going...

    Riddix Plus Dubia = ?

    Wierd question, but it surfaced just before I clicked "checkout" on my Dubia order. I'm having the colony housed at my friends house until Jamie and I get into our new house in November/December. He was more than agreeable, as I agreed to let him feed his Leo out of the colony for free...

    Rankin's or common vitticeps?

    I'll post pics of both of them explaining what I'm talking about later this evening. Just wanted to put this up to remind myself to do so. General Tso's head is basically a perfect triangle with a very nice collection of spikes starting. Mushu's head is more swept back and she lacks a lot of...

    weighing beardies

    Alrighty. I have been keeping track of General Tso and Mushu's Lengths by week and comparing to the growth chart I've seen on this site for a while now. So far, They're both just about right on track. General Tso is probably a teency bit ahead of schedule. I need to know about scales. Is...

    a little math... 2 dragons = ? dubia

    okay. I haven't convinced "her" yet. However, the business man in me always wants to come to the table prepared! So.... aside from the obvious aspects of crickets. (stinky! jumpers, biters, always DYING! not as good for our beardies, etc etc etc) I'd like to do a little math here. I've seen...

    I think we got lucky.

    We have two beardies (our first) General Tso and Mushu. I read up a LOT on what was what and how they acted and before I started reading on beardies, I was looking at all sorts of other lizards. Chameleons, water dragsons, frilled lizards, etc etc. I think I definitely made the right choice...

    Mushu got a fright!

    I'm not sure where this should really be posted. Anyway, I was giving General Tso and Mushu their baths the other day. General Tso was done with his so I pulled him out and put him in his towel and set Mushu in the bath. I asked Jamie to keep an eye on her while I went and dried General Tso...

    First post as a beardie owner

    I've made post here about my enclosures that are being built, questions on food, lights, etc. I even have a for sale post up to make some fake rock structures for people, but I didn't even HAVE a bearded dragon until now. (I have geckos that I've been making the rock stuff for) I have a little...

    "baby" beardie

    I was talking with a woman at work about my upcoming additions of beardies to my pets, and how much care they need. Her reaction? "Yeah, well wait until you have a child! You have to bathe them, hold them, put them to bed, they seem to ALWAYS need to eat, change diapers, and if you're doing...
