So I'm tired of feeding crickets. They smell, they're loud, they die, and they escape. My beardie is about 1 yr old and around 20". Basically, what's a better staple insect (based on healthiness, hardiness, and maitnence) and how often an how much should feed my beardie?

How should I go about it. I'm not going to boil or bake them because they can explode (seriously). I was thinking about soaking them in a bleach solution, but then how long would I have to wait to put them in his cage? Would it be ok if I didn't sterilize them?

Do you take your beardie out of the cage to feed him or do you dump all your crickets in the cage and let him catch them? I take mine out and I usually end up with an escape every now and then (which sucks), but I'm afraid the crickets would be able to hide if I just dumped them into his cage...

The air temp in his tank gets to like 90-95 during the day (on an average day) and like 85 at night. Its gotten up to 110 when its really hot out. I'm using a 150 watt ceramic heater that runs 24/7 and I use a florescent UVB bulb to provide day lighting, and he's in a 55 gallon tank. I was...

I made the change over to tile last night (was using repti-carpet) and I need to know what you guys use to disinfect things. The last thing I want is to kill my beardie because I unknowingly used harmful toxins to clean his cage.

I have a baby beardie and I was wondering if I should feed him all the crickets he could possibly eat every other day or if I should give him a set amount of crickets everyday. When I do the every other day thing, he can down about 2 dozen crickets. I can't give him all he can eat everyday...

So I have my 55 gallon. Its 48" long, 13" wide, and 18" tall. I have an 18" desert UVB bulb, and a 150 watt ceramic heater. I don't think the temp is getting high enough for a beardie and he needs to be within 12 in of the UVB, which he isn't. Is there any way to fix all this without having to...

I have a 55 gallon, but the guy at the pet store said he'd feel "lost" in it.
