So I ordered crickets for the second time with Fluker Farms over the weekend. I never got any kind of tracking information from them and their website had a notice on it that they were in an ice storm and would ship"weather permitting" on Monday, so I (stupidly) assumed that the crickets had not...

She loves grapes! I saw her this morning standing over her food bowl eating something this morning. She never touches her salad when I am around, so I weent to investigate and both of her grape pieces were gone. Grapes for Iksar from now on! That is the best salad reaction I have ever had from her.

So Reptar takes what seem to be breaks from eating. He has always done this from what I can tell. He will go through a few days of fasting. Crickets sit languishing in his tank until I pull them out. He may eat one or two, but he won't eat near as many as he should. Then he will suddnly start...

I am looking for a good background image for my dragons' tanks, but so far I have been unsatisfied with the commercially available flat tank backgrounds. What have you guys used? I don't want to build a textured background. Is there a place online to look at background images for reptile...

Petco $1 per gallon sale is on again tomorrow. If your people are cool like the people at my store, they may honor the sale one day early! Just got Iksar a 40 breeder. Such a stroke of luck that we even found out. Good luck out there!

Well, Iksar has grown like a weed in the last month or so. I will have to allocate some money for a new tank faster than I thought! Reptar was keeping pace with her until recently. Both little ones are doing well. Here are a few photos! Reptar first: (Black bearding for Iksar) And...

Is red chard ok to feed? I remember hearing something about chard, but I thought it was swiss chard? Is there a big difference? I'm going to try and find the feeding chart, but I thought I might get an answer quicker by just asking. Thanks!

Ok, so I got my Reptisun 10.0s in today, and i can't get the old bulb out of Iksar's fixture. It is an aquarium strip light, like an aqueon or something. It doesn't say which kind. I have never tried to replace one before. The fixture and light were given to me. The bulb wont turn. How much...

So, I woke up late (like 15 minutes after I should have left) and didn't have time to make salads for Iksar and Reptar this morning. I rushed out the door without even saying good morning. I peeked in and they were sitting on their bowls waiting, but I just couldn't this morning. :( It feels...

I got my order in from lindasgonebuggie.com yesterday, and I wanted to give my little boogers some horns and silks since they had never tried them before. Iksar snapped everything up happily, but Reptar spat his silk worm out in disgust. He chomped, stopped in his tracks, gently spat it out of...

This wouldn't be such a big deal if she weren't already undersized. I'm so proud! This is her first shed under my care, and it shows me that I'm doing a good job making her a healthy little booger again and helping her grow. I'm so excited! Unfortunately, no pictures. I was on the way out the...

Hell has frozen over; Reptar hom nommed a salad. :shock:

So, apparently Sid has not been eating the reptiworms I put in his tank and several pupated and emerged past night. I was just wondering if anyone had heard any harm from feeding them to a dragon. Iksar happily ate two of the flies. Are these still nutritional for them. Thanks!

I have noticed that Iksar doesn't seem to be able to see sometimes. She has trouble tracking crickets and has to be very close to them. It also seems as though she has completely blind spots. Has anyone figured out a good way to aid their vision impaired beardies in the feeding game? Or even to...

This is what I have done with the tanks to make my office functional again!

So, I noticed today that Reptar was doing this weird thing in the bath that looked a little like hiccups? His chest would suck in and his beard would puff out, then his chest would fill up and his beard would deflate. Is this hiccups, stretching, or something else? Just wondering! Thanks!

I got Iksar yesterday from a CraigsList ad. He is thin, far too thin to be healthy, and he is undersized. At two years old he is only 9 inches total! He was living in a 10 gallon with play sand in the bottom. He had no water and was eating iceburg lettuce when I picked him up. His cage was...

I was just wondering if anyone had clipped their beardie's nails. Iksar has some gnarly ones! I suppose it is because he has always been on sand. Is it better to just let them wear down naturally on the slate? (Just got a text from my wonderful fiance. He just picked some up for me!) Thanks!

My new arrival, Iksar, had quite a bit to eat last night, including turkey and rice baby food, reptiworms and crickets. This morning, I went in to check on both dragons and Iksar was sitting over what looked like a puddle of watery baby food. I'm not sure if it was poop or puke. What have you...

Well, it was an unexpected surprise, but I found a beardie today on CraigsList. Something told me I needed to look at the ad. It was for a 2 year old bearded dragon that was 9 inches long from nose to tail tip. I called the attached number and asked for a picture. Once I saw that picture, I knew...
