I don't visit here much anymore but I really should! Puff is still my first reptile love, even though we are adding more to our collection. He was born 09/10/10 to Cheryl of Rio Reptiles, and arrived here on 10/20/10. :) Happy belated birthday post, Puff!

I bought Puff from Rio Reptiles, so now that I'm thinking about adding a corn snake to the family, I wondered who you guys would recommend for corn snake breeders online? I might go to Twin Cities Reptile soon to see what is there, but that's still about a 2-hour drive. Thanks!

What would you do? He will refuse the dubia but then if you offer superworms, he will eat and eat and eat, usually. I offered 1 dubia, he refused. Offered 1 superworm, he chowed it down. Offered 1 dubia again, nope! He has been eating dubia since he arrived here with no issues until the...

My brother is visiting for Christmas break, and he decided to make a mini-series starring my very own Puff-Man. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJbSlxr8bBM

No picture, but it was so cute! We had to leave yesterday so I had put 3 dubia in a tiny pyrex dish so they couldn't climb out. We came home and found Puff in the bowl, no dubia, all curled up! It was adorable!

Are these okay to feed as a staple too? My cup of worms morphed into a cup of flies since Puff wasn't eating them fast enough! He LOVES to gobble them up, more so than the worms or even the dubia, though!

They sat in the box too long at 26*. My mail carrier didn't bring it up because it didn't say live animal or perishable, though I'm not sure if they even can say that on the package if it's USPS? Anyway, they aren't moving. Should I toss them out or is it possible some might have survived if...

And I dig a little bit more and find itty bitty babies! Awww, cute! Puff gobbled one up and said, what was that? It was tiny, but good! :)

Puff ate 15 reptiworms this morning. :) That's the most he's eaten. I think he's starting to recognize them as food better, as he seemed excited to eat this morning. We dropped them in one at a time right next to him, as they are very dark and not moving anymore. Shoot, that means we'll have...

I have a feeling that we are being tolerated right now. He doesn't voluntarily climb up our hand, and we have to pick him up from the belly and from up above. He's gaped at me a few times now, while giving me the stink eye, but tolerates everything. Wondering if we should handle him less or...

The kids said they saw a little beard on him when my husband brought his guitar downstairs and started to play. Is that probable? He closes the eye that is closest to you ... thinking he doesn't want to look at us and he's hiding from us? Just yesterday he opened his mouth when someone would...

I plan to do what is called a "lapbook" (a file folder with little books and pictures about a topic) with my kids for our homeschooling, and I'd like to do one on bearded dragons, both as pets and in their natural habitat. I've been able to gather little bits of info, such as the obvious ones...

Why would my little guy be closing one eye off and on throughout the day? He'll do it while basking or if he is sitting with us. Ideas? I am using the Repti-sun 10.0 24" tube and a 100 watt household bulb currently, though I want to replace that with an actual reptile basking lamp.

I have some dubia roaches from our breeder, and some of them seem a bit large for Puff now that they've been eating here. Should I separate the large ones from the smaller ones and try to start a breeding colony? We have a pretty cool house so we'd probably need a heater underneath ... I...

Currently I have a aluminum dome and a 100 watt bulb from walmart for heating the basking spot. I would like a ceramic dome so that I know it is safer. What would you recommend, both dome and light, for a 40-gallon breeder? Thanks!

No, not a bad story! Just funny. I've burrito-wrapped Puff since we got him yesterday (so 2 times) and now at night when the kids are in bed and we're on the couch, watching TV, I have to remind him not to snuggle me too much because I have a dragon on me! He asked if the dragon was coming...

We got Puff yesterday and he has yet to poop yet. When should I worry?

He made it, obviously! I'm a nervous wreck still! So worried about making sure I do everything right for him!

I have a silver fixture thing that was given along with the tank I bought. I see that Zilla makes one. Would this better hold and direct the heat into the viv, rather than absorbing the heat into the metal of the fixture? Does that makes sense? I'm in a mini panic mode now that Puff is in...

Our little guy (see my sig pic) is being shipped tonight! Let's hope the weather forecast was accurate and it doesn't fall lower than the projected 39 degrees. Who else was nervous when your dragons were being shipped?! Funny how I am not nervous about the reptiworms that are en route to me...
