    best manufactured cages?

    Hey guys! I've been going back and forth trying to figure out whether I want to build Ramsey a cage or buy him one. I am on a budget so naturally building one would be less expensive. However, time is an issue. Could you guys throw out some recommendations for manufactured cages for beardies...

    distance beardie should be from Reptisun 10.0

    They have to be that close?? I thought the Reptisun 10 was more around 12" to 18"?

    A question for those first few days

    Hey guys! On the 29th my fiance and I are going to be picking up our first beardie! He is a 1 1/2 yrs old (about 20" long) and just gorgeous! :) This is my first time owning a beardie and its much different than my snakes I have. Honestly, I'm a little nervous but I know everything will work...

    need your guys' opinions on cage plan!

    I used 100% silicone sealant on my boas cage so I'm pretty sure I'll be using that on my beardies cage. Unless of course there is something wrong with that lol. So after looking at painting and such I'm thinking I may just stain all of the plywood and then clear coat it (seal it) with a...

    need your guys' opinions on cage plan!

    Are you talking about caulking?? Like I said, I already know how to seal the interior edges of the cage. I'm just not sure what sealant to paint over the wood and the paint. Thanks!

    need your guys' opinions on cage plan!

    You don't have any issues with your beardie not getting traction? I've heard that as an issue with some people. Thanks!

    need your guys' opinions on cage plan!

    Hey guys! Ok, I'm so struggling with coming up with a plan for my beardies cage. I'm settled on using 3/4" plywood for the actual cage. Not sure exactly what type of wood it is (I'll have to ask my dad LOL) but it is really gorgeous and extremely smooth. I've essentially made up my mind that...

    Adult beardie has never had veggies?!

    Hey guys! We are finally making the big step towards adopting our first beardie. I'm in contact with a wonderful lady who's son's wife has a beardie that isn't getting the attention he deserves. He is an adult, and around a few years old. They have been feeding him crickets and superworms...

    Which wattage bulb?

    Like I said, it can get down to 55F sometimes. I want to get one that will be able to keep the temps up even if it gets down to 50F if possible. I always keep my reptile's lamps on thermostats just to be safe. :)

    Which wattage bulb?

    Hey guys! I know there is no magic formula to what wattage basking light & CHE to buy but I'm a bit stuck. My soon-to-be beardie will be in either a 40 gallon breeder or 55 gallon until I can make him a custom enclosure. Until then I'll have to deal with the evil glass tanks that don't like to...

    UVB light expiration date?

    Hey guys! Really quick question for you all. I know that you should change your UVB bulbs every 6 months, but do unused bulbs have an "expiration" date? For example, if I have a UVB bulb that has never been used but has been siting around for 6-8 months is it still fine to use? Hopefully that...

    Question about feeding adult beardies

    Hey guys :) As a Christmas present my fiance and I are going to be adopting in a beardie looking for a new home. I do have a couple questions pertaining to diet I'm hoping you all can answer for me. The reason I'm over-analyzing this a bit is because we live in a rural area. So there is no...

    breeding insects for profit

    Hi everyone. Happy New Year!!! :) I was curious about selling feeders for profit. I've never raised insects before (I do breed feeder rats right now and I'm sure it can't be that much work) and I wanted some pointers on breeding feeders insects (maybe dubias, mealworms and some other "worm")...

    Showing off my ladies :) ((DUW))

    Here are my two ladies :) Lexus is a 7.5ft Pastel het. Albino BCI, approx 4 years old. I bought Lexus a little over a year ago from a private owner on Craigslist. She's an absolute doll (even though she's nearly mistaken me for a rat a couple times :P) Prada is a 5.5ft Ball Python and approx. 5...

    Roaches vs. Crickets?

    Alright, that's what I was hoping to hear :P I really didn't want to raise crickets to begin with for the exact same reasons you mentioned. I guess since many people still primarily feed crickets (I guess from habit and the fact that you can buy them at any petstore) I thought I should ask for...

    Roaches vs. Crickets?

    Hi everyone :) I just had a quick question about feeding roaches. From the researching I've been doing, roaches seem like a much better alternative to crickets (which is wonderful for someone with borderline cricket-phobia :P). I wanted to know your guys' opinions about feeding roaches as a...
