In our beardies' viv we went to ceramic tile as well, it has somewhat of a sculpted texture. I think we'll try indoor/outdoor carpet ontop of the tile, the kind that looks like artificial grass. I believe it would be better than the plain beardie carpet, easy to clean and fairly cheap. I think...

I echo this as well. Get the sand out of your viv immediately. We used it for sometime with near tragic results. Our viv has small computer fans that come on ten minutes after and before the hour. The fans started slowing down due to the dust exhausting from the viv. I can only imagine what our...

I've used this in the past n now for my present beardie Rocky (4yr. old). I'm thinking of using repti sand or walnut shells on top of tiles for substrate, which I used before but gave up because of the dust issue. I would also like to get some sort of background wallpaper, something light in...

Not an expert by any stretch of the means....however my first advise would be changing your lighting arrangement. A 100w heat lamp 6" away from a baby, in a glass enclosure, will cook bacon at that distance. For your tank arrangement there are hoods that have two screw-in fixtures for heat and a...

Thanks for the information...these repti-sun 10.0 uvb's are 24" T-8's. So, what would be the expected life span for these tubes?

So...what I've read an understand from a lot of posts on this site, uvb light sources usually fade from proficient life after 6-7 months...is this a fairly accurate statement? Seems like that's a quick life. Is there another alternative that would give me more like a year of life service? Reach...

I have an enclosure that uses two uvb tubes at 24" in length. Recently purchase two but have a question as to determine when these tubes loss their ability to properly supply uvb. I have used my local pet store in the past to determine the "life-left" in older uvb tubes, however a recent...

I did a thorough cleaning of this cricket tank. The cricket food I use are 'orange cubes, powdered beardie pellets, and a small corner of a paper towel soaked with water in a small plastic cap(top of milk jug container). So, if these are in fact gnat maggots, are these crickets safe to use as...

While cleaning my holding tank where I keep crickets for my Pedro, I notice small larvae crawling around. Almost looked to be on the order of maggots. But I believe these to be larvae of some sort. I have never seen these before and I'm curious as to what sort of health indicator these are in...

Sounds like you're serious about dragon care giving, after all you did a rescue. More than likely you will probably be looking for a larger tank or viv. So often I've seen pics of adult beardies in small tanks, barely enough room to stretch out or turn around without touching sides of tank/viv.I...

Our beardie, Pedro, didn't like bathes at first. Same behavior, tried to climb out and scamper away. I resorted to holding him in my palm, while slowly pouring luke warm water over him. Twice a month he would get a bath, sometimes more than that, but normally twice a month. He slowly started to...

Kach7, here are a couple of pics from the viv I built years ago. The two round lights are par20 halogen floods, 50w each. I have since changed the one in the middle to a par16 halogen 35w flood. The socket on the far right of the viv's lid is a night-light that I wired, but really don't use. All...

Zach7, the basking lights and temp stuff are the easy parts. The hardest is finding the right uvb light source for your particular set-up. Any time you pass light(uvb) through a sceen lid you loose significant uvb light source for your beardie, especially the uvb tube lights. These lights, you...

Our viv is sort of like yours, however ours has a solid top, not a screen top. We have ventilation much like yours as well. Heat build up and stagnant air became a concern for me. So I'm adding a 2" computer fan that cycles on 10mins. every hour in a viv where temps are around 100. I originally...
