So haven't been on here in a while but I found myself rescuing another dragon and this is the first place I thought to go to for advice I can trust. My question is about proper diet for an undersized dragon. I know that the protein to vege ratio moves towards veges with maturity but not sure...

So I've noticed a lot of roach breeders are out of dubia or I should say not selling until they can replenish there stock. The way I understand it the crisis going on with crickets has caused a huge increase in the amount of dubias being sold. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a breeder still...

So I have a 10 week old beardie and every time his lights go off for the night he starts scratching at the sides of his viv. He always does it in the corner where he sleeps just before he passes out. I'm thinking he is trying to dig himself a spot to sleep in. So I'm wondering if there is...

Just got my lil guy and he seems really healthy but he has been closing his eyes a bit lately and it got me a tad worried. He seems healthy otherwise. He occasionally vents during basking, has arm waved a few times and his belly is fairly white and creamy looking. He also has eaten great since...

Just curious if I can put my ball python's wood "jungle gym" in my baby bearded dragon cage? He doesn't use it and it would provide different levels of basking spots for my dragon. Just wondering if my BP has bacteria or something that could make the BD sick? If so how would I clean it? I have...

Okay so my colony isn't producing babies yet since I just got it and I have a baby bearded dragon that needs to eat. I've pretty much fed all the smallest roaches that I felt comfortable giving him and now I'm wondering if I could cut them into bite size pieces(if he'll even eat them)? I ordered...

This first one I took to try and show his colors. Turned out really well considering it was taken with a cell phone: This one was taken right before bed. He always stands in this corner and falls asleep: This was taken after lights out, the only time he can be held without him jumping...

I was hoping to get some clarification on the rule about food being no longer(or was it wider?) than the space between the eyes. Is this like a concrete rule or just a guesstimate? I'm feeding dubia and just want some more guidance because I've heard horror stories about beardies dying from...

Okay so I just got my beardie yesterday and I wanted to get impressions on my setup and etc. Basically its a 40 gal breeder with poster board wrapped around it to help him feel more secure. Its all pretty obvious from the picture so I'll cover what you can't see. The basking bulb is a 100...

Ok so I went to Lowe's looking for something to hold a 24" reptisun 10.0 and the only thing I could find was 17 watts instead of the 18 needed and it was made for installation in a ceiling so it didn't even have a plug in. The only shop lights they had were far too big. Where can I buy...

I've been looking for a breeder in or close to Nebraska for months with no luck. The shipping from all the breeders I've contacted has been at least $40-$60 and since I'm looking at beardies around $50 or so the shipping costs as much as the dragon. Any ideas? Should I just take one of the...

Hey all, I'm looking for a fixture to hold (2) 24" T8 type fluorescent bulbs. 1 will be a reptisun 10.0 at 18 watts and the other will be a regular fluorescent somewhere in the range of 5000k-6500k to simulate daylight. Problem is I've been all over the net and cant seem to find what I'm...

So I'm going to be starting a colony before I get a baby beardie and I've been thinking about what to do with all the extra roaches. I know many ppl sell the extras but how do you seperate them in order to sell different sizes? I'm assuming its not done 1 at a time by hand? :shock: Since the...

Ok I've been trying to figure out the best way to get a reptisun 10.0 tube light and a basking light over the same spot. reason being I want the beardie to get her UVB while basking. Also I have a 36" tank with screen top and Ive read the screen can reduce UVB up to like 30% so not sure how to...

Ive been looking at tubs trying to find one that seals but it doesnt seem to exsist. I live in an apt pretty much downtown in my city and we have to constantly fight off german cockroaches. While we have them under control its impossible to keep them all out. I'm afraid they would get in the...

I have a cage thats 36" long x 18" wide x 16" high. Im wondering what the proper setup would be for a baby bearded dragon in regards to the reptisun 10.0? Specifically what size bulb/hood would work best for my cage size? Thanks for your help.

Marley did something odd today, her tail went almost straight up in the air, very stiff and her left arm started twitching. It was very scary looking not at all normal or anything shes done before. She lifts her tail a little to poop but that's it and the arm thing didn't look like waving it...

Ive been burning in my mega ray and today it started blinking off and on with a kind of plink sound each time. It seems to be temp only when I first turn it on so Im thinking maybe normal? Also has a slight buzz/whine sound when its running? Not loud but Im paranoid, never spent $56 on a light...

This post is mostly intended to "test the waters" so to speak. I have a female bearded dragon(Marley) who was given to me by a friend who couldnt keep her. Ive thought lately about finding a new home for her and wanted to see if there was anyone in my area (or that could afford / be willing to...

Just got my mega ray in the mail today and I'm not sure if i need to "burn" it in? The website FAQ says you dont have to but ive read on here and other places you do.. Oh and how important is it for it to be facing str8 down? Like should I use a level or not that big a deal? Also would a deep...
