    my beardie hates his tank?

    He is under a 10.0 reptisun with a 105 basking spot and an 85 ambient temperature. He is normally orange/yellow/red with purple sidebars, very good looking, but inside the tank (55gal) he is constantly dark, looks like a muddy dark red. Whenever i pick him up he immediately lights up into his...

    What's best to keep bulk crickets in?

    We're going to get bulk crickets (either 500 or 1000). What is the best thing to keep them in? I heard those large rubber box containers. Also, is clear or a color better, or does it even matter? Thanks!

    UVB Lighting help

    We just purchased a larger UVB light (24in. Reptisun 10) for our dragon, we have a 50 gallon tank. We read on these forums that Wal-mart had a black light fixture which could be used for the UVB light (a LOT cheaper!). We put it together and it works and fits great, but we're a little skeptical...

    Baby keeps opening mouth

    We have a new baby beardie, had him for about a week now. Today we took him out to feed him, and noticed he keep opening his mouth (not hissing). I know sometimes they do this when they regulate heat, but it just seemed weird. Also, when my boyfriend picked him up, the beardie nudged against his...

    We just got a baby beardie, he's at most two weeks old. We get him small crickets, but when we put him in his feeding tank, he only seems to eat about 3. I think the most I've seen him eat is 5. Is it normal for babies to eat so few? I mean it would make sense since they are so small.. but I...

    This is similar to my last post on here, but I thought I'd make a separate entry.. but what is the best/cheap(est) place to buy crickets in bulk? Does anyone have experience purchasing from an online retailer? Were a lot dead when arrived? I know obviously some will, I just want to make sure...

    Crickets die fast

    We've been realizing lately that whenever we get crickets, a lot die within a few days. We have a smaller KricketKeeper and give them food (Fluker's Orange Cubes), but a lot seem to die. It's hard to tell whether other crickets kill them or if they die on their own. Also, when we put them in the...

    What kind is my beardie?

    We got our bearded dragon last Friday from a local Pets Plus (which is family owned). They get all their bearded dragons from a local breeder. Initially, we were looking for a red or orange beardie, and were calling around places to see if any places had some. This Pets Plus told us they just...
