I have a few more weeks left until I have a dubia colony established. I was considering feeding crix in the mean time, but have read about some issues with parasites when feeding them to young dragons. So my next thought was 1000 Turks. I'll do Phoenix worms as snacks, but would like something...

I know how you all love pics so I'm gonna post some in here as my little beardie grows up. Sometimes I get a bit lax with things like this so please remind me if I go too long without posting anything... First off I want to give some shout outs. Janie (zebraflavencs), thanks for all your help...

You might remember I posted in here months ago. Then I didn't know if I was going to get a dragon or not. My silkworm colony experiment went so so, but I convinced everyone to let me have a roach colony so I decided I will definitely get a beardie. I went out and picked one from a breeder and if...

My other thread "Silkworm Colony? thinking of trying one" had changed course and didn't make sense anymore because I actually tried one. So here is the new thread. I started with 150 silkies. Of these approx 30 made cocoons. About half have emerged, of which only 4 have been female. One female...

I'm going to look at a few beardies tomorrow. They are all over two months old (though probably no more than three) and being fed greens and roaches. I know they should be alert and curious to anyone looking at them, not be sluggish and not have a hard time raising their head. I have also read...

I need a way to cool my viv a bit. The basking spot is too hot with the bulb any closer than 20 inches from the basking area. I have a small fan I was going to use to cool it but was wondering if a beardie would be OK with a constant light breeze blowing. Would the breeze adversely effect a...

Anyone raise silkworms? I.E.,raise the worms, then breed the moths? It is something I would like to try as there is NO WAY my family will let a roach of any kind even close to the house. I would rather not deal with crickets so before I get a dragon I would like to attempt a colony of silkworms...

Feeders... This is the one part of caring for a dragon that I didn't care for when I had mine years ago. Now, as I am getting closer to trying to raise one again, this feeder issue has again reared its ugly head. There seems to be advantages and disadvantages to each of the different types of...

I have read that too high a humidity can lead to respiratory problems for beardies. Is there an optimum range at which the viv should be kept so as to minimize the risk of respiratory issues? What are the levels that should not be exceeded (both high and low). While yesterday my viv stayed...

Some of you may have read my intro. Well, it's looking like I am probably going to get a beardie. I had off yesterday so I put together this small enclosure with stuff I had around the house. Firstly, I plan to get a juvenile and wonder if this tank is too big (55 gal). If so I should be able...

Thought I would say hey to you guys on this forum as I read and research bearded dragon care. Sorry, but I don't actually have any yet, so no baby beardie pics :( However, I have had some in the past, when I was a kid. Although I managed to keep them alive, it was evident that I did not know...
