Hello All, Every year around late August, my beardie begins a semi-brumation which eventually falls into a full brumation by late September/ early October. Generally, I get a fecal done on him but I missed it this time and he hasn't had a bowel movement since he started brumating, even with...

Hello All, I'm really concerned that my viv is keeping in too much heat. Today it was 88 degrees outside and it got really warm inside. It is currently 88 degrees in my room and in the enclosure it was about 90. I turned off his lamps for the day because it was just too hot. Basking was 105...

Hello, My friend got a baby bearded dragon about two and a half months ago and was eating great at first. Over time his appetite began to decrease and he hardly grew at all. He was about 14 grams the first week and is now only 11 grams and he's about 8" and he's about 4-5 months old! She is...

Hello everyone, With Thanksgiving approaching my school has a break (as most do) and I have to take my beardie from my apartment to my mom's house. My beardie has been brumating off and on since late august and he just came out today (not sure for how long). Needless to say he looks pretty...

Okay, so I was reading some information online today on faunaclassifieds saying that polyacrylamide water crystals are safe for feeders to eat but polyacrylate crystals can be severely detrimental if not life threatening to herps who ingest the insects that these were fed to. This is due to the...

I just bought an UTH from amazon for my dubia roaches. I have them in a sterilite tub though. I was reading mixed reviews online about the heating. It's the one for 10-20 gallon aquarium. I am really scared of starting a fire! Should I return it?

Hello All, I was wondering if I could make a viv out of this Ikea cabinet? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50049358/#/90049361 The dimensions are Width: 35 7/8 " Depth: 24 1/8 " Height: 24 ". It is $51 so the frame itself isn't too expensive. I live at school so when I go home this...

Hello, I've had this Mac's Creature's and Critter's pet refuge for awhile now 2.5 years, but I'm wondering if it is cedar? When I baked it sap came out of the sides. I'm worried that maybe this might be irritating my beardie? Please let me know, if it is I want to get it out of there ASAP...

hello all, beegee has pinworms again and I've treated him for two weeks so far. he is 560 grams and has the appropriate dosing. I was just curious if I should give him his third dose this week or if I should wait another week to give his system a break. He hasnt pooped in almost three weeks...

Just a quick question on bamboo root. I saw that many people use bamboo root as a basking structure. If I were to go out to a patch of bamboo and harvest the root would it be the same or is it a different species of bamboo? Edit: Saw many were made of resin. Are they all made of resin? I guess...

Hey All, I've been attempting to find a fixture for my ceramic heat emitter. The one I bought gets too hot and burns. I was looking online for a ceramic fixture so that it doesn't overheat. Do you think this one is okay? What do you guys use...

Hello, I was just about to order some serrapeptase for my bd. He has pinworms again, so I will be treating with panacur/acidophiliz. I was wondering if I can give him some serrapeptase as well? I just want to keep him healthy and I read it increases absorption of calcium and has blood/liver...

I've been looking for locusts/grasshoppers here in the US but I can't find anything. One forum I was poking about said that they're illegal in the US. Is there anywhere I can find them or am I out of luck?

I got around to making a bridge for BeeGee because I recently redid his viv and I feel as though he can't get as close to the UVB as he'd like to so this is what I came up with. I used sisal rope and I bought 36" oak "dowels" although they're square so idk what that's called. I drilled holes in...

I just recently moved my roaches to a tote after having them in a glass tank with a screen lid. I cut out a hole for the screen, got my egg cartons on one side and my chow/fruit/veggies/crystals on the other side. The only thing I don't have right now is heating. I am really nervous about...

Hey guys, I just built my beardie a brand new 4x2x2 crossfire and needless to say HE LOVES IT!!! I am having one problem though... My basking spot with a 75 watt household bulb is 101 degrees exactly (measured with digital therm) but the ambient cool side is about 86. Granted its 80 in my room...

Hey guys, I've been working on my crossfire enclosure for awhile now and have been having endless problems with it. Now I am approaching the finish line and have ran into one more. How do I cut the plexiglass? I got some for a cheap price from someone on craigslist but its proving to be more of...

Hello everyone, I have seldom read that some people use gerbil/hamster water bottles for their beardies to allow them to drink from it, does this actually work and does anyone use them? If they did this would be great, but I'm not sure if I could "train" my beardie to use one, or if he'd...

Hey everyone, not sure if you've seen my recent posts about BeeGee FINALLY getting over pinworms but a new issue has seem to arisen... I looked at his tummy today and he seemed to have what looked like decaying scales? He has always had a yellow tint to his stomach plus his legs are shedding...

I'm not trying to be rude or anything but if the dragon was 2 hours away you probably should have gone and checked out the breeder and picked up your dragon from there. It would have saved the dragon, and yourself :P, a lot of stress. Shes really pretty by the way, good luck with her. I'd like...
