    lights on/off/feeding question

    You'll want to set the last feeding about an hour earlier, since sometimes yo have the lights off at 11. You want to give your beardie at least two hours of basking to properly digest, otherwise it could go rotten in your beardies stomach.

    Tongue stickiness

    How do beardies get the sticky tongue? Does it come from some kind of enzyme that they can turn off and on? Tiamat will halfheartedly lick a roach,I'm guessing he's tasting it, but won't try to eat it.

    Vegetarian beardie

    Kinda getting a bit concerned now. It's been about 3 weeks since Tiamat has eaten any live feeder. Used to eat supers with no problem, now he won't even look at them for more then a second. I tried to get him to eat dubias, but all he will do is taste their back and try to run away. I've tried...

    Leaving roaches in the viv

    So whenever I bring Tiamat out to eat, he always seems more interested in running around instead of eating. I know you shouldn't leave crix in there, is it the same with roaches? Can I leave dubias and red racers in the viv?

    Breeding hornworms

    So His Highness, Tiamat, :roll: decided that he wasn't going to eat the hornworm that I bought for him. So now it's in a cocoon. I have it in a little cricket keeper that I used to use for crix. Will that be suitable for a bit? How long will it pupate for? I'm not sure if I want to actually...

    Roaches scare Tiamat

    Tiamat has eaten one before, and seemed to really like it. But I can't seem to get him to eat any more. Even after a couple days of him refusing supers, I know he was hungry, he snubbed the dubias, acting like he was scared of the way they were running around. The next day he devoured a bunch of...

    Need feeder pics

    So I'm building a beardie care sheet and I need some pics of some feeders. I need pics of a mealworm, hornworm, cricket, and silkworm. I think I'm forgetting one. I already have the superworm and the dubia pics. Anybody have any I could use?

    Water crystals

    How do you guys prepare your water crystals for your dubias? I change the food every other day and the crystals are always dry. I read a while ago someone making big batches of them.

    Always on the cold side

    So Tiamat normally spends the majority of the day laying on his log on the cold side of the viv. I use an Acurite temp sensor, temps are about 90-100 degrees. When I pick him up, he's cold to the touch. When I put him back into the viv, I put him under the basking light, he'll sit there for a...

    Red Racers and Dubias

    So I have some red racers in with my dubias. Do they lay their egg sacks on the floor or do they suck them back inside like a dubia? ALso, for the dubias, after they take the egg sack back inside them and incubate them, do they lay live babies or do they lay the egg sack on the floor? If a red...

    Bad shed maybe?

    So Tiamat has had some gray scales around his nose for about a week or so now. He just got done with a full body shed and a little bit of his face. I noticed yesterday that his nose seemed a bit swollen. Today, his nostril is closed from it and his eye seems a bit swollen too. Only on the right...

    Are these baby dubias?

    I got these form the pet store, they weren't sure what they were, but they thought they were dubias. They called them blata lata-something. If they're not, can Tiamat eat them ok? Or will they grow with the known dubias ok? They have a light brown shell, the bigger ones turning a little black...

    Ok, so Tiamats night light broke a few minutes ago. It gets really cold in the house,sometimes I can see my breath, 40 degrees maybe, which is why he has it. I got the fire going but it won't last the night and it's going to get pretty cold here. Question is, what the lowest temp he can go to...
