    ZooMed Excavator Clay Burrowing Substrate. Is it safe?

    Thank you! I've read some into it about how you can mold the stuff like concrete basically, but its more like sandstone/clay. Either way, I don't want anything that can build up stones in my little guys' bowels. :D As for tile, it won't get too hot under the basking light so that their bellies...

    ZooMed Excavator Clay Burrowing Substrate. Is it safe?

    I've recently come into two beardies, both male and a few years old and quite happy with their new home. I've currently got them on a 50/50 sphagnum/topsoil (organic and perlite free) mix. While browsing around the nearest pet store for some enclosure ideas, I came across a bag of Excavator...

    Thank you guys for your advice! I'll get in touch with the vet asap. Some good news though, they've already started gaining weight and becoming more active and less pale since I adopted them. Even Schmiddix (the larger and more lazy one) has started becoming inquisitive instead of lethargic. Hoorah!

    The bigger one looks healthy aside from a bit pale, and the smaller one has more loose wrinkles on the abdomen than the other. I think he hasn't been eating enough. Other than that, they're in good temperament and active when handled.

    Nope! They're either 4 or 5 years old. My boss owned them, bought them when they were hatchling status, and then passed them to my old landlord, then on to me. It might be more like 15 inches, but I fear they've subsisted on a non-varied diet and weren't fed as much as they should have been...

    Thinking of a new enclosure! Advice wanted.

    Alright then. I just came into two pastel bearded dragons, Schmiddix and Schwab, both of fairly good size. I'd say they're each about 12 inches long from tail to snout, and one is slightly fatter than the other. I currently have them in what I'm guessing to be about a 55 gallon aquarium with a...

    Your Honest Opinion on Substrate

    I was doing some reading on substrate from breeders in Cali, and they mentioned peat moss and topsoil that had no perlite or similar substance in it. It's supposed to be soft, easily digestible if ingested, and naturally odor-absorbing. I'm thinking about switching my beardies over to it, as...

    Hello everyone! Jonny here, from Ohio. I just got two bearded dragons today that used to belong to my boss, then my old landlord. He had to do some remodeling so they got passed along to yours truly. They are around 5 years old, and I've yet to determine their sex (no one has ever bothered to...
