While the spray can be useful for the greens, most sprays do not have D3 in them, so they are often lacking in that key component for indoor housed beardies. If I remember correctly, calcium/D3 tends to clump up when mixed with other vitamins, which is why the higher end or 'old school'...

A very pretty normal :) -Jen

Darius is a red and orange colored, normal scaled beardie :) -Jen

It's much easier to tell with a picture :) Can you share one with us? -Jen

It's a really cool idea, but I think it's limited by what you could send for animals. Reptiles are so varied, you'd have to have a box for each type of animal - a snake box, a lizard box, a tortoise box, etc. What do you do if people complain that the item they got in their box doesn't work...

They'll stay the right size for a couple weeks at least, until they start molting. At 72 degrees, you may even get a month out of them, as they will be too cold to grow or eat much. :) -Jen

You can also just try giving him more time to grow up. Babies act like babies; there's a big wide world out there and he's not sure what's going on. As he gets older, he should mellow out quite a bit - it's just that he's small, everything is a lot bigger than he is, and he hasn't experienced...

You can use fake plants, which will be sturdier and not get trampled as easily, plus they don't need water. I actually really like fake grasses for beardie enclosures, rather than cacti or similar plants, and a few creeping viney type plants also can look cool. We of course have a bunch, but...

That still seems odd that it would heat up the home that much. You probably do not need quite so much heat on the cage, and could decrease it down to 100 watts or use a thermostat with it. A fan to help circulate the air (especially with an open window) can help, as would using curtains or...

Looks to be some sort of orange cross, that's all. I disagree a bit with Mystick, though, as I think the dragon pictured looks normal, not leatherback. :) -Jen

You can move him into the big cage now; that will give him plenty of room to run around in and grow. :) -Jen

Try checking around for other exotic vets in your area, but a fee of $50 and up is fairly normal for just a run of the mill vet visit, especially if it is for a pet that is outside the norm. Most of the time, if you do not know the vet or they do not know your animals well, they will require...

Looks like a pretty normal. :) Nice! -Jen

As long as you monitor them, it shouldn't be much of an issue. You will probably see some head bobbing and displays at each other, but that is fine as long as they don't hurt each other. They encounter others of their species in the wild from time to time, an occasional supervised interaction...

I would consider using a lamp stand instead of clamping it to the side of the cage - it can actually cause eye issues to have the light going sideways instead of vertical. This article from Reptiles magazine has some great information mostly about UVB, but also some excellent tidbits about...

Yep, looks like a nice little leatherback to me too. Maybe a bit of striping, but nothing too crazy. :) -Jen

We have a basic care sheet to check out for information on cricket care, especially when maintaining lots of them for a while. http://www.lllreptile.com/info/library/animal-care-sheets/invertebrates/-/cricket-care-sheet/ A large sweater tub from Target or Walmart works well to house about...

Like Jenfid said, if she was eggbound and not feeling well, you'd see more noticeable signs by now. That she is eating and running around are both great signs, so just keep doing what you are doing and keep an eye on her. Sometimes it takes a few poops and the accompanying strain to get the...

Dove eggs would be a great treat on occasion! That's awesome, cool idea for providing variety for your beardies. :) -Jen

Like Cooper said, a 9 hour drive isn't too bad. As long as you've got his cage ready to go for when you get to your destination, just let him get cozy in the car and nod off. Bring extra paper towel or kleenex nearby; seems like for me, the surest way to get a beardie to poop is the first 10...
