Ok, so I have an exo terra digital thermometer in both my beardie viv and my ackie monitor viv. But I really dont understand how to read it. You can press the button to get the min temp and press a button to get a max temp. Then after a few seconds it returns to what I guess was the basking...

omg so I got a new yellow Ackie monitor baby today :D Well excited! Here he is: He's currently about 2 months old and has no name right now. I say he, but I cant sex him til he's much older. And his viv, which is currently 3ft but will be upgraded to 4ft later on. It has a uv, but no...

So, if you were going to give advice to anyone thinking of purchasing a beardie from a breeder, what things would you recommend looking for? The reason i ask is, I have seen 'well known' breeders with their babys on bark substrate, Repti Glo bulbs, crickets being left in with baby beardies...

Hi guys. My friend is looking after a beardie for the next week while the owner is on holiday and she's noticed the beardie is becoming lethargic. I dont know much details, but here is what I do know. Beardie came to my friend as male, but we've both ageed he is a SHE! She is about 5 months...

Ok so i've had my baby beardie for a week now. He doesnt really like the crickets or the locusts that I bought, but when I bought some small dubia, he devoured the tub of 50 within 2 meals! He'll also eat mini mealworms, although im being careful to try give the ones that have shed their shell...

Ok im a bit confused about calcium and vitamins. On advice from the breeder, I purchased REPTI CALCIUM with D3 and NUTROBAL calcium balancer and multivitamin. What should I be adding to my beardies food and how often? He's 7.5" and i've had him 3 days.

Hi guys, I need a bit of advice with my heating in my viv! The temps are 105-110f on the basking spot, but only 75f on the cool side. Is this ok? I can't really move the basking fixture as the guy who put it together for me nailed it in and im not very DIY. The temps at night are falling to...

So, i finally picked up my baby beardie yesterday :) He's 7.5" and from Daichu, he's a Hypo 66% Possible Het Translucent, whatever that means, lol. He's set up in a 4ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft viv with a Repti Sun 10 Uv and a Basking Bulb attached to a habistat which is at 98 F at the moment. I've got...

Ok ive been searching but theres so many threads on here, I thought it would be easier to start my own, so apologies if you've answered this question a million times already! So, I know about what to feed my baby beardie when I get him and how big insects should be and whats good and whats not...

Sorry another question :roll: I'm getting my baby beardie on Sunday and he's going to be going straight into a 4ft viv. I'm guessing this is probably too big for feeding time since any insects will have lots of places to hide! Whats the best place to feed him in? I'm trying to think of...

Ok, so when I bought my viv, it came with a Repti Glo 10. This morning my new Repti Sun 10 came in the post :D Now I dont pick up my Beardie baby until Sunday, but I was just wondering will my repti glo be ok for a month before switching to the Repti Sun, or is it just not worth the risk? Just...

Is it ok to clean up Beardie poop with baby wipes? Is there anything in them thats bad for them? I just figured it would be easier to wipe the viv floor down with them when cleaning up mess? And then doing a proper deep clean once per month?

I was just wondered what the Do's and Don'ts are of Beardie shedding? I pick up my Beardie on Sunday, so I just want to make sure I know exactly what i'm doing! Is there anything I should be aware of with the shedding process? Things I should do, things I shouldnt do. I don't want to cause...

This is going to sound like a really strange question! But do Beardies recognise their names?

I've noticed a growing trend amongst caring pet owners and just thought i'd start a thoughtful discussion.. I don't want arguments and for this thread to be locked! I don't get why so many people say they are "rescuing" animals from pet shops or bad breeders, as you are still paying them...

Hey all. So i'm picking up my first ever Beardie baby on Sunday and I can't wait!!!! :D So i just have a few questions that Im not 100% sure about, so hopefully someone will know the answer to some of these questions :D 1. I know I can let him out of the viv, but how long can they be out of the...

Ok, so I pick up my new Beardie next Sunday :D Yay! I've got my viv set up and everything but the reptile store guy fitted my 4ft/48" viv with a Repti Glo UVB. So, I obviously need to change this and i've ordered a Repti Sun 10 instead. However, the Repti Suns and the Arcadia don't come in...

Ok so i've just purchased a 4ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft wooden vivarium for a single bearded dragon. I bought it at a local reptile store that has been recommended on various forums and the guy there set it all up for me and placed the basking bulb and the uv bulb etc where it should be. I'm in the...

Hi all. I would really like to get a Bearded Dragon, but wanted to do as much research as possible first so that I can make sure that I do everything right from the beginning! I have a few questions: 1. Does anyone know where I can find a good breeder? I am based in Surrey, but am willing to...
