I've tried to put her in her hide but she wants nothing of it. I've been shortening the light cycle each day, but should I change her basking light. The...

    Forcing Brumation

    Lilly who was born on March 10th 2010 went into brumation last year on her own at under a year old. I tried not to let her because of her age but she had a mind of her own. This year we are leaving to go on a weeks vacation on Nov 30th with no possibility of taking her with us. I kinda want her...

    Tail Rot Question

    When I got my beardie in late spring of 2010 as a little guy she had a nip out of her tail. It was always a little black and I never really thought anything of it. Now the tail is black about 1.5" from the tip. Only black on the top and the sides, not the bottom. The bottom is still a sandy...

She's back to ripping around and eating great. I didn't want her to burminate this year because of her age, but...

    Puffing Up & Blowing Air ?

    Before lunch I was checking on my beardie and she puffs up her throat & blows out air, then holds her mouth open for about 10-20 seconds. It almost looks likes she's going to puke. She repeats this every couple of minutes. She is over 4 1/2 months old and has great color. Her lighting, food and...

    Do You Keep A Growth Chart For Your Beardie ?

Enclosure is a 65 gallon terrarium with a 3ft reptisun 10 flourescent & a 100W basking light. With each shed she is getting more colorful. Crickets in the morning and some more...

    Potty Trained

    I have my gal "kinda" potty trained. She goes every morning like clockwork between 9am - 10am. She goes either up on this flat rock or on her piece of reptile carpet. For the last 3 mornings while on the computer she moves down to do her business. I slide open the front door and put a few pieces...

    What Is The Real Answer?

    This is a cricket question. I have 3 books on beardies and all give different opinions. I've read online and even talked with the breeder I got my gal from. I've seen growth charts, but there needs to be a chart on age/amount of crickets fed, at least an estimate. I've read even on this form...

    My New Girl Ilithyia

    I picked up this little gal Sunday at the Mississauga reptile expo. She's about 5.5" at 4 months and looks healthy. When I brought her home and put her in her new home she basked near the top of the log. I have a new litterbox that was never used so I washed it up and put her in it to feed. She...

Then I found out that if it's 29% or under it'll just show that. I bought a secound one that isn't digital and it said 10%. I filled up the...

    Newbie

    Hello everyone. From Milton Ontario which is west of Toronto. Growing up as a kid in the '70's my neighbor had an iguana for many years and I fell in love with it. But I think one of those right now would be to much now that I've been reading up on BD's. I'm getting a young beardie in a week...
