I have been planning to get a Leopard Gecko for my son and went to visit a breeder the other day just intending to look. My son fell in love with an African Fat Tailed Gecko, and since the breeder was 4 hours away, I pulled a classic no no and brought the little guy home before my terrarium was...

I am planning to get a terrarium for my beardie and am not sure which size to get. The two options I am looking at are 36 wide x 18 deep x 18 high or 36 wide x 18 deep x 12 high (inches). The taller one seems like it would have more room to place accessories, but I wasn't sure if the 12 inch...

I am getting a leopard gecko and the breeder recommended an Exo Terra Natural Terrarium 18x18x18. I noticed there is a same sized Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium at a local pet store for considerably less money. The Exo Terra does come with a 3 D background that the Zoo Med does not have...

I have been having a hard time getting my basking temps where they should be. I have a dome light fixture that only handles 100 watts. I currently use the Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp 100w. It sits on top of the mesh lid to my 40 gal breeder tank. The basking spot is a rock that puts my...

Hi all! I got my beardie about 2.5 years ago. At the time I scoured this site for info and decided on the Reptisun 10 tube for my beardie's uvb needs. My local pet stores stocked the tube so I had easy access when it was time to switch. Unfortunately I can no longer find the Reptisun 10...

Now that I'm getting the lights/temps in his viv where they should be, I started thinking... how much time does he need to be in the viv to get the benefits from those lights/temps that he needs for his health? Between me and my five kids, there is a whole lot of family willing and wanting to...

Hi everyone! I just did a search about "closing eyes" and it seems that most of the time this behavior was related to the wrong lighting. I think I have the lighting right (18 " ReptiSun 10 Tube for uvb, with a ZooMed Basking Light 100 watt bulb right next to it for heat), but I'm still...

Hello everyone, I'm a new Beardie owner of almost two weeks. I've never owned a reptile before and I'm trying to get educated so I can do this thing right. I'm worried that my BD is not thriving because he has turned very dark and lost his color. I posted about that over in Behavior (probably...

I am a new beardie owner, and I am concerned about my baby. I would be very grateful for some help. I recently got my BD (it will be two weeks on saturday) from a breeder. He is approx. 5 months old and about 15 inches. He is an orange Hypo with some yellow and lavender bars on his sides. I...

I don't know if this is considered a behavior, but I'm hoping it's not a health issue so I'm posting it here! I have a new beardie (just got him a little over a week ago) and this is my first reptile. I'm trying to get educated as quickly as possible, and this site has been the most helpful...

I've been pouring over this site for the last couple weeks, and I decided it was time to join. I've never done this before... joined a discussion board or owned a beardie... so bear with me! I'm feeling a bit ignorant and inexperienced. I've always surrounded myself with animals, but this is...
