I highly recommend Showcase Cages's polyethylene cages. They're stackable! :D They're kind of expensive, but they're super durable, easy to clean, and lightweight. I swear I'm not a shill for the company, baha. I've had mine for 8 years (through 1 cross-country move and 5 inter-city moves), and...

My first beardie was on sand all his life (he died when he was 3 from a blood parasite that he got from a bug bite outside :cry: ), and didn't have any issues due to the sand. My current beardie was on sand probably the first year or so, until I got sick of dealing with it, lol. He never had...

Hi! Not sure if this is the correct place for this post, but I was wondering what everyone does with their UVB bulbs after 6 months is up. Since they still put out light, they're technically still usable for non-reptile purposes. I never throw mine away, and just put them back in the box for...

good to know that Keef's not the only one :)

yep. i rip them in half and then bend in one side so that it's like a cup. they all gather inside them baha :roll: i usually throw in 4 halves.

i use them for crickets... i rip them up and put them in the cricket keeper so the crickets have stuff to climb on/in and aren't just jumping all over each other lol

keef really likes to dig in the sand in his tank... if i used tile, wouldn't he get upset that he can't dig anywhere? :\ this is his tank: i don't think tile would work in there... since their natural habitat is sandy earth, would there be a way to simulate that with a material that he can...

i give him a bath almost every day, and every couple days when he's in there, he'll voluntarily drink the water... otherwise, i just drip it on his nose, which he'll drink about half the time

i already do all of those things regularly :\ keef seems to enjoy the baths and every couple days will generously drink the water... every time i feed keef, i drip water on his (her? :cry: ) nose, and probably about half the time, he'll drink it... i don't think i've ever seen him drink from...

thanks, that was really helpful! :D

it happened again today... it looks pretty much exactly like the first one

thanks! :)

Removed by moderator, sorry OP i'm not trying to be antagonistic; i literally just want to know what that material connected to the urate is

his basking spot is 100 - 110; the warm end of the tank is 90 - 95... he's been on sand since i got him when he was 2 months old, and he's been eating mealworms in addition to the rest of his diet for over a year, and he hasn't had any problems at all... his vet determined that he is 100%...

4'x2'x1.5' enclosure, ~95 hot and ~75 cold, zoo med reptisun, play sand, superworms/mealworms/waxworms and greens he's been eating, pooping and behaving normally... he was just at the vet like a week ago and he checked out 100% healthy... and i know people say "ah! sand is terrible!", but his...

nope, it was pretty squishy

i know that females won't have seminal plugs; that's why i was hoping that's what that was :) ...if it's not a seminal plug, what is it?

thanks for the link... i'm more interested in figuring out if that's a seminal plug or not! :study:

this is Keef; he's almost 3 years old. lately, i've been wondering if he really is a he, because his vent area is rather ambiguous lol... today, he took care of some business in the bath, and i was hoping the off-white substance attached to the urate was a seminal plug, and not just...

lol post-9/11 but the airports i went to didn't have mandatory x-ray scans :) i put him in a cargo pocket on my pants :mrgreen: i knew he wouldn't trigger the metal detector, and as long as he didn't wriggle around much, they wouldn't even notice ;)
