I had to laugh at this one. It was a good thing I was off work today or Dash might have had to hang there all day :) The ridge and spikes on his head kept him from sliding down, and he couldn't jump high enough to get back on top. If he'd slid to the right he could have gotten out, but I gave...

I'm having trouble figuring out how best to pick up my new little guy. He's so low to the ground I can't get my fingers under him. I got him to clamber on my palm for his bath tonight but it took quite a while. How do you all go about picking up the babies? He's so small and light I don't...

I thought I'd go ahead and start up a thread for my new beardie, Dash. Dash was bred by Tom at TnD Dragons. He was hatched June 11, 2010 and is the son of Gemini and Dozer. He's a citrus pastel coloring. Dash arrived today after the long overnight trip from Pennsylvania. He arrived and was...

After some annoyance with UPS, where they simply left the lil guy at the door, even though I was sitting in the living room waiting for them, I'm excited to introduce Dash, my new beardie from TnD Dragon's Citrus line. Here he is deciding whether or not to leave the comfort of his shipping cup...

So do crickets breed themselves while sitting there in their tote waiting to be eaten or do they require special conditions to breed?

In ordering my crickets from Ghann's, I notice that they are disclaiming the live arrival guarantee due to heat. Now that's understandable, but I wonder if anyone has any feedback on how likely it will be they arrive alive using Next Day shipping? It's a warm time of year here in New England...

I am just about ready for my first BD. I need to order in the feeders. In addition to dubia roaches and phoenix worms I'll be getting him some crickets. I know they can jump, and I want to minimize the number of possible escapees, so I'm wondering what depth of container I should use to store...

I am strongly interested in getting a Beardie but in doing my research I've begun to wonder if my environment isn't suitable. I live in Vermont, where it is quite humid for half the year during the summer. My place runs about 50%, give or take a few points, all summer long. Is this going to...

Although I won't be ordering my dragon for another couple weeks, I've started building the new home. It's based on a 40G cage, with an aquarium background and some vinyl tiles for the flooring. I've scrubbed all the adhesive off, so hopefully that will take care of the fume problem. They may...

Perhaps I am just not using the right search words because I haven't found anything yet, but is anyone aware of any companies who produce automated systems for control of temperature across the 2 zones? This seems like something that should be easy to do with all of today's miniaturization and...

Being a home brewer, I've had to be aware of sanitization requirements for all of that equipment. I currently use a product called Star San, which works wonderfully and is very easy to use, leaving no smell or taste behind. I've been seeing that a lot of folks use bleach and/or ammonia...

Has anyone ever used vinyl floor tiles for their enclosures? I really want as natural-looking a setting as I can make, but I now know sand is out, so I'm looking at tile. The various ceramic and porcelain ones just don't do it for me, but I found some nice vinyls. I'm worried about the BDs...

I've just about made my decision to get a beardie. I'm just finalizing some research and figuring out what I want to get for habitat and lighting. We don't get a lot of choice here in Vermont, so I may have to settle a bit for now. Looks like I will probably go with a large size Exo-Terra or...
