My Viv http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=117942&hilit= As some you may have read my previous posts regarding my viv and fake rock build it took 100's of hours to complete. Now as the viv is being lived in I am seeing that home made fake rock is a real pain in the butt...

I have a 100 watt floodlight placed 18 inches from the basking spot and I am still hitting 145 degrees. This bulb is massive. Do they not make a smaller, less round bulb such as a compact? I have three lights in the Crossfire Viv, a Retisun 10.0, a 75 watt household bulb and the 100 Watt Flood...

Whew! Finally! I’ve finally finished creating my fake rock. I cannot even make an intelligent guess as to how many hours the entire project to build the viv and rock. I am guessing it had to of been close to a 100 hours. I worked on it in my spare time and to be honest I enjoyed it and it was...

I am still trying to get a good feeding schedule/routine down. I have a feeling I am offering too much food and too wide a variety as I am noticing a lot of wasted food. Could someone please write a detailed feeding schedule? It would sure be helpful on this board to have one. For example: how...

What colors did you use to paint the fake rock for your viv? I am having a very hard time getting the color right.

It seems that from the beautifuldragons health food chart that all the things that are best for our dragons are very hard to find. Can anyone tell me where you find items such as: Alfalfa (plant, not sprouts) Cactus Pad/Leaf (raw) Cactus Pear (Prickly Pear) Dandelion Greens Mustard Greens...

This is a question for those who have created their own fake rock. How is it holding up? How long since you put it into your viv? Hows it been handling and cleaning? Any other tips or info you can provide? I am asking this because I just spent many many hours creating my fake rock and am about...

I for one made the very expensive mistake of purchasing the "complete lizard package" from a local pet store. After visiting this site I realized just how poor of a set-up this is for your new bearded dragon or other reptile. After purchasing 2 ReptiGlo coiled bulbs for $35 each only to toss...

Age about 9 months old. In the past week he has started hiding under his hide and sleeping all day. Seems uninterested in crickets. Is eating his greens and other vegs. Is pooping. He will come running for a superworm though. I dust the crickets. He looks very tired lately and when handled just...

I see a lot of people discussing wether to grout and seal tile or slate or not to based on cleaning preference. I wanted a way to ensure easy cleaning and yet also grout the tile as I didn't want gaps for my dragons nails to get stuck in so decided to tile a piece of wood the same size as my...

Our beardie is about 6 inches and I am about 2 days away from completing the construction on my self built Crossfire Viv. At what age or size should I move him to a larger enclosure? If I move him now will this be a problem? Is my 4x2x2 crossfire too big to move him now? Thank you

I am having a very hard time finding a fixture to hold a 36 inch Reptisun 10.0 Fluorescent bulb. I have searched both Home Depot and Lowes and cannot find a single bulb fixture, only double bulb fixtures in 36 inch. I called ZooMed and they told me the the Reptisun 10.0 must go into a T12...

Well after reading many great posts on this board about building your own vivarium I finally purchased all the stuff and got to building this weekend. Here is my experience so far and I hope this helps someone. First let me say that I am no "Bob the Builder", in fact, I have never built...

We have had our new beardie for 3 days now, he is only about 5 inches but I am not sure of the age. I bought him at the local pet store. True to fashion I jumped into this without researching first and basically purchased a Exo-Terra complete set that comes with lights, rocks, water bowl etc...

After much begging my 12 Yr old daughter finally convinced me to get her a bearded dragon which she named Yoshi. I have handled them in the past as a friend of mine had one. I have to say I am sorry I waited this long. What a great pet. Very attentive, seems as though he begs to be picked up...
