    Correct way to use an Infrared Temperature gun

    I have had a few temp guns in my time of owning 3 beardies over the past 5 years, and I have found that the type of temp gun and the distance you need to be for an accurate reading can GREATLY vary. For instance, the first temp gun I got, didn't have a red dot or anything, I got it for around...

    Questions about moving my bd w pics

    Ok so I used to have two bearded dragons, unfortunately Crupi, the one I adopted years ago died of unkown causes. I had adopted him full grown and had him for a number of years. I have two vivs that are stackable, a 4x2x2 on the bottom and one that's just a little smaller on top where Bella is...

    Avoiding Crickets

    I did the same thing when I got my first beardie... I was keeping crickets and some waxworms from the pet store. After about a month or so of crickets, I switched to reptiworms in one bowl, and butterworms and some waxworms in another bowl. I acquired another dragon too after a friend of mine...

    Miss Bella's Nails, getting filled down a lot.

    Hello, I was just playing with my two beardies and I realized that miss Bella's nails are almost non existent in the back.. She is in a 4x2x2 viv with slate tiles and half carpet as her substrate. She is a very active beardie, and is either active or lazy really depending on me, like if I...

    **Mega Ray Issues** / Megaray RECALL

    That has compact flourescents doesnt it? You want a tube reptisun 10.0. I've had a dual canopy light systemwhen my beardies were both in 20 gallon long enclosures, when they were little. I quickly returned it, because the compact flourescent's were known to cause eye problems or have no output...

    **Mega Ray Issues** / Megaray RECALL

    So I just changed the setup in my enclosures, and a while back, my Mega-ray was recalled, and it was producing eye problems.. The bulb they sent back to me was a while ago, around the beginning of this year. The batch number is "AJ". I had not tried this bulb out of fear of harming my sweet...

    Viv pics only thread

    I just got two of the dimming units, and began using them on one of my dragons vivs. They are pretty cool. I am using a timer to make sure that in case of power failure the unit doesnt reset and start its 10,12,14 hr cycle then. Working good. I found these clamps on ebay and built a little...

    **Mega Ray Issues** / Megaray RECALL

    I just read the info about the bulbs and I had one of the bad ones that was originally purchased last year. I sent that one back and got another one. I was not too sure about the bulb since that was when this forumn had just started, and was on like page 5 or something.. hehe I looked at the...

    Two bd's, one going NUTS! HELP please w pics!!

    So now Bella's appetite is not so good after I switched to the reptisun 10.0(possible in need of replacement) fluorescent mounted about 5-13 inches above where she can climb. Im wondering that she may be going into her first brumation, or that the light isn't enough/hot enough. I haven't been...

    If you live in the Atlanta area, I'm in Norcross. If you are looking to get a new enclosure you should check out the pics of the ones I made myself... Since you live close it would be easy to build one for you to the best specs for your beardie. You can see the photos of the viv's I made for my...

    Attitude

    How long have you had your dragon? What's the size of him/her? And how long has this attitude problem lasted? I've got two beardies and when I got the second one he was fine being handled and recently he started brumating and whenever I go to get him he puffs, but after I pick him up he calms...

    Two bd's, one going NUTS! HELP please w pics!!

    1. Well I've had Bella the longest and both of them started out in a 20 gal long tank. Back in like August of last year I got Bella because my friend turned me on to beardies. I've kept anoles, scorpions, and always a cat! So I knew somewhat about what I was in store for with Bella. Then the...

    Two bd's, one going NUTS! HELP please w pics!!

    So I have two bearded dragons. One of them is a little older, Crupi. I adopted her from a friend a while ago. I was almost sure that Crupi is a female but now I'm not so sure. The other is a little smaller, but almost full grown, around 16inches head to tail. Her name is Bella, I'm 90 percent...

    How well/far do beardies see?

    Just a random question, thought... Does anyone know about the eyesight of beardies? I believe they can see color because they somehow choose the butterworms over the waxworms if they are together in a bowl.. I had Bella outside the other day and she was looking up in the sky and trees a lot...

    **Mega Ray Issues** / Megaray RECALL

    It also has been recommended by many professionals that you pair the bulb with a regular halogen or incandescent bulb. I've done this for a while and it always makes getting the best temps easier. I would much rather a bulb that produces too little, since you can add a bulb/wattage but cant...

    need help with tank selection

    It will become more and more important to get them separate enclosures otherwise they will at some point become aggressive to each other. The males become territorial and can harm the females or vice versa when they arent breeding. You should get two enclosures so you wont have any problems...

    new 75 gallon viv pix for my baby!!!

    I went through kind of the same when moving my girls from their 29gallons to 4x2x2. It was hard getting the temps right also when I got my first beardie. I'd get a screen and use that, maybe consider using more rocks to build up a more gradual basking spot so you wouldn't have to worry about...

    new 75 gallon viv pix for my baby!!!

    I bet the reason its not getting that hot could be because the bulb isnt on top of the basking spot, like on a screen. I think that would contain the heat better and it would be hotter. You also might consider using a halogen bulb, like a flood or a spot bulb, that would heat it up nicely. Just...

    Cleveland's Tank

    How long is he? Depending on his size I might wait till he gets a little bit bigger to keep the sand. Depending on how he is pooping you may be able to get away with it but I wouldn't risk his life if I didn't have to. I know when they are older the risk is less. Both my beardies are on tile...
