Just curious, when you feed your beardies, do thier eyes dialate intensly as the decide where to start? Sometimes our girl will do this, then hesitate and looks around the bowl for about 5 seconds deciding where to start. You would think the lettuce is crack or somthing.

Purchasing a fixture is much cheaper at a home improvment store. Just remember these few things... Size: 48 inches Bulb Size: T5? T8? T12? <--- Important Watts: Make sure you find a fixture which will provide the right amount of watts. I would suggest bringing the bulb's box into the store so...

Your new tank should serve you well. If you are like many here, (sounds like you are or will be) you will end up building a larger enclosure. I would shy away from sheet metal as temp is very important, and it seems like it would be very difficult to regulate the temp correctly. Wood is perfect...

I am convinced it came from the wild here... I will get a closer picture tomorrow since he is sleeping rite now. I will release him when the weather gets better. Until then, I will show him the good in humans.

It is cold and rainy outside, so I figure I will let him stay with us since I have an extra tank. I figure it came from around here OR since we just picked up our bird from the pet store, maybe it hid in her cage. Either way, he came to me, so I must take care of him. :D

I came home to find this little guy scurring across my floor. Not to sure what he is... I like in the mountains in Oregon, so not really a desert climate, but maybe an alligator lizard? I don't know... What do you think?

You Sir, are a HERO. I can't stand to see animals in conditions like that. When the ignorant owner says "I didn't know any better" I have to call BS. Treat any pet better than you would like to be treated! How would you like to live in your own poop!?! Gas is expensive, and you elected to drive...

I feel for you. I can't stand to go into the pet stores and see how they are actually taking care of thier pets. My local store is privatly owned by a good couple who do everything they can to take care of thier animals. Unfortunatly, it would not be cost effective to house dragons as we would...

And everyone laughed at me when I got my baby vacinnated before myself. :wink:

If Falkor turns out to be a girl, will she still be Falkor?

How bout when you spend more time and thought in prepairing your dragons meal that you do your own :lol: When your beardie eats better than you do... OR When you are at work, you only THINK about your wife, but MISS your beardie... shhh :wink: I didn't say that.

Real rocks are simple, all you have to do is find them. I am currently using only real ones since I am worried about all the chemicals I must get rite. Great info on "cleaning" them up. I am constantly collecting nice rocks and using them in my fish tank and beardie cage.

I have found that my basking side is 110, and the cool side is a perfect 85 and that is with just one basking bulb. If you absolutely must do two basking lights, connect a dimmer to the one closest to the cool side and adjust the output so that the cool side remains correct.

Perhaps you didn't see Lena's reply. I do believe her reply qualifies as "feedback" As for disreguarding it, is it not that obvious? I quoted you in my last reply as "And the alfalfa meal, yes, it can be ingested, but that is common for most others, and as far as im concerned, the alfalfa meal...

The issue with substrate like this in not only ingestion, but it IS a bacteria breeding ground. You will find that most everyone here will give you great advice, and no offense, but the combined knowedge of most here is far beyond what you may have learned at a pet store. Again, no offense, but...

Everytime I sit on top of my wife, she immediatly gets a head ache... am I doing it wrong? :oops: just tryin to trow some water on the fire here, but I have to agree, ones who love these beautiful little creatures should definatly be "rough" when someone has done little to no research before...

on the floor... are you crazy? I nap in my beardies enclosure. She doesn't like to be alone at night... Just kidding of course. I keep mine in a plastic container without any problems. Just hope it made someone smile :D or cringe :evil:

careful of the meal worms. I can't tell you how many times I have been woken up because one was trying to crawl up my nose!

I am unfamilliar with South African laws, but there is one tool usefull anywhere in the world. EDUCATION and AWARENESS. Share your experiance with other locals who love animals. Get the word spread. Educate anyone who may want a bearded dragon as a pet. Don't do anything illegal, but do as much...
