Hello fellow canadians! I have way too many roaches in my colony and would be willing to sell some to anyone who wants them. I know have only one adult beardie (my other one died right before Easter) and he's slowed down a lot on insects. This will be my first time on the seller's side, but I...

Hi, Balrog had been acting crazy for the past days, I thought that being ready to lay was one possibility (never mated). I just gave her a sand box and she dug, and now she is laying eggs. I am totally unprepared, these eggs are obviously infertile. My questions: does she need special care after...

Yesterday I noticed something red hanging from the top of Balrog's mouth when she opened her mouth, it didn't look good, as if part of her gum and palate (?) had swollen a lot. I call the vet this morning and got an appointment this afternoon. Balrog seems like a healthy 2 year old female, she's...

I have a nearly 2 year old female (Balrog) and a 10 month old male (Goldorak). Their vivs are on top of each other, so can't see each other. But when we take one out, the other one "shows strong interest" for the other, especially Balrog. She arm waves and takes on a nice position as if to look...

Hi, I have not been on the board for a long time! All winter long it looked like Balrog was brumating. She was sleeping most days, ate one or two roaches a week, and was not active. It's her second winter, so it's the first time she does that. Last week she seemed to wake up. She got very...

I have Goldorak, a 250 g male (5 months old) and Balrog, a 660 g female (1.5 years old). They live condo-style (2 superimposed vivs), and we assumed they would not bother each other because they can't see each other. But every morning, Goldorak huffs and puffs while Balrog waves !?! How can that...

I have two beardies: Balrog, female, over 1 year old, over 600g, and Goldorak, male (probably), 3.5 months old, over 200g. They have nice enclosures, a "condo", two 4x2x2 stacked, Balrog below and Goldorak above. We never take them out at the same time, because we were scared that Balrog would...

Hello! I haven't been on the board for a while, I was on vacation and at the same time adopted a baby dragon. He was born (I don't know if its the right word, well you understand) on June 11, from a breeder in my parents' town. We picked him up on July 21, and he was ready to go to a new home...

Last week was Balrog's first birthday. Well, we don't know her hatch day, but we assumed she was around 6 weeks old when we got her, and we decided that June 15th would be her birthday. She has grown so much since we got her, she's now 49 cm (over 19 inches for our US friends) and weighs 543...

Yay! She ate 6 silkworms this morning! I got them yesterday. I don't really understand myself, I have a strong repulsion for caterpillars and I ordered silkworms and butterworms! I guess I'm really a slave! But I have yet to touch a silkworm, I used a spoon to put the worms in Balrog's salad...

Until last December, I used Zoo-Med Repti Calcium with D3, and it seems everything was ok. Then I switched to MVB when my reptisun was over 6 months old (and got a new viv). I got the calcium powder without D3 by exoterra since then (the local pet store carries mostly Hagen products...). And...

Hi, long story, but I'm proud of myself! A month ago, the local pet store (not a chain, I live in a small town) got a baby bearded dragon. They usually don't carry that kind of lizard, but I got two from them last summer (they ordered for me), and I guess they wanted to offer another one. He was...

Anyone of you guys given earthworms to your beardies? Did they like them? I just found out someone in my neighbourhood needs to get rid of some of her worms used for compost (red worms, from South America, so they can't survive canadian winter in the backyard) and offered me her extras. They...

Balrog got a new viv last weekend. Crossfire type, 4x2x2, Solar glow 125 watts, standard lightbulb for brightness (compact low energy type), and CHE for nighttime. Because of the size of the Solar glo and the light fixture, the basking spot is now on the ground. We have some platforms around it...

Hello, I am getting a new viv built (yeah, can't do that myself, and hubby is not much into manual work..) and I want a MVB for uvb. But with all the issues with megaray, powersun, etc I am lost at which one I should order. The viv will be 4x2x2, crossfire style. The options I have are: Megaray...

Hello, Balrog is 6-7 months old, female. She is healthy and eats very well, measures 18 in and weighs 350 g. The only thing that bothers me is that she seems ready to sleep a hour, or even and hour and a half before her lights turn off. We have a time set to turn on at 7 am and down at 7 pm...

Hello, I've been looking through the forum for info on size vs. age. I noticed that there is no definite relationship, but I am still confused about Balrog. We got her from the pet store, they ordered through their usual supplier. We have no idea of hatch date, or any genetics at all. She was 15...

Hi guys! This week I ran out of my last crickets and started feeding from my roach colony, that I believe is established (from what I found using "search" on the board). My question is: how do I convert the amount of crickets into roaches? I used to feed Balrog 15 to 20 3/4in crickets twice a...

My seven-year-old daughter got sick with the swine flu last week, and she got it quite bad, it turned into pneumonia. Anyways, while she lays at home on the couch, I found that when I bring her our beardie (Balrog), she gets some colours on her cheeks, and seems to cheer up. She talks with...

I started a dubia colony two weeks ago. I received 50 males and 50 females, did research on how to keep them happy, and there is already lots of babies. But last week, I had two males dead, a few days apart.Is this normal? Could they just die of "old age", or should I look into something else...
