(Though considering the source of the problem, I think she could stand to miss a few meals... ;) ) I've had to rearrange Wave's viv a bit - she had gotten too heavy for her branch the way it was, and managed to topple it. Not wanting her to hurt herself if it fell with her on it (she was...

Usually, I order 2,000 reptiworms at a go to get me through a month. Last time, I accidentally ordered 3,000, so even though I've put in my next order, I still have 3 containers left. I normally reorder when I'm down to half my original order. Containers of 500 each - anyone who orders from...

Most of what I put in her Beardie Tales thread is just pictures, so it seemed more appropriate to finally move it here... Plus, I spend more time here, since I like looking at everyone else's pictures. :lol: So... here are some pictures of the Wavelet! :mrgreen: These are from today, when...

Stupid question time again. :wink: Our local Walmart sells waxworms (for fishing). It's the only place around here that has them. (Petsmart carries crickets, superworms, and mealworms, nothing more exotic than that.) Since I know they can't be used as a staple, it seems kind of silly to me to...

This is a question asked solely out of curiosity. I am not planning to breed, have no interest in breeding, ever, and certainly wouldn't breed particularly young or old animals. I have one beardie, and she's pet-only, and will always be pet-only. /Caveat over :wink: Obviously, in mammals...

For the last few days, Wave has refused breakfast. We did move everything back by a couple of hours secondary to my starting school - lights now come on at 7AM, food is put in around 8:30AM. We've been doing this for a couple of weeks now, and it's only been in the last few days that she...

Welcome to paranoia-land again... :wink: For all your silly-worry needs! The last week or two, Wave has started closing her eyes when I pet her. She hasn't been running when I try to pick her up or generally being skittish for a month or more, but the eye-closing is newer. She does it most...

What foods, usually enjoyed by beardies, will yours not eat? Wave has eaten basically everything I've offered to her - some things she likes more than others, and I think she'd walk through fire for a nice, juicy dubia. She dutifully eats her reptiworms every morning, dances for micro supers...

(If this needs to go in Off Topic, I apologize, mods. Was debating the two. And I'm sure there's been a topic like this before, but not in my time - if there's one still active that I've missed, please point it out and get rid of this one! :wink: I'm not proud.) Curiosity poking me tonight -...

Okay, so we recently went over to a 40 gallon viv for Wave. I currently have shelf liner in there, because my husband was concerned that surface tension would cause the glass to break if we put tile on it, tile being rather on the heavy side. Let me get this out of the way first: physics is...

I'll just go ahead and get the setup info out of the way to help out - Wave's in a 40 gallon, which she moved into last week. Shelf liner substrate. Temps currently 107 on her basking branch, 99 on her hammock, about 97 around the warm side of the cage, 79 on the cool side (just checked with a...

Totally silly question, I know, but keep in mind I'm still pretty new at this... :wink: Have to be out tomorrow around Wave's normal evening feeding time. For those who have dealt with similar situations (and I assume it's happened to almost everyone!), what seems to work better to keep a hungry...

Just ordered 25 silkworms from Mulberry Farms - thought I would see if Wave likes them! I've got tons of roaches, but she needs to get a little bigger before she eats many of the ones I've currently got, so I thought I would try a different feeder until she's big enough for supers (she currently...

Wave has fallen in love. With her UVB light. :roll: New viv; new, longer UVB - got the bulb and the fixture from beardeddragon.co, so it can go inside the enclosure and none of that pesky screen-blocking going on now! Set that all up, it's fine, looks great. Made sure everything was no closer...

Was making a stew tonight, and had some leftover parsnip. Looked it up, saw it's safe as an "occasional" food. Offered some to Wave. She grabbed it like I'd been starving her. The only other veggies she's really shown an interest in are peppers - she'll eat her greens and squash, but she...

What's your beardie's (or beardies') favorite person-perch? I'm wondering if Wave's is weird - she's taken to one particular spot, and it seems a strange one! When we go in for evening playtime, obviously she's pretty tired, and she doesn't run around too much anymore. I always have my hair...

I was looking for tile for Wave's new viv yesterday, and bought a couple of 18x18" blue, soft tiles - thought it was a great color, and large enough I only had to buy two squares. When I got home, I realized it was adhesive. I had always - stupidly - sort of assumed that the reason people didn't...

Until we find the time to build our own viv - or on the off-chance that someone pays to have a triangular one built for me/Wave at Christmas, *hint hint hint to my whole family* - we got Wave a 40-gallon, since she's reached 10" and that, to me, seems worthy of a big-girl home! I used her name...

Well, it appears that, for the moment, we're not going to have the time to build our own new viv for Wave, as we had hoped to do. So I'm just going to bite the bullet and buy a 40-gallon breeder, at least for the time being. (And I'll continue to hope that we either find the time to build our...

Today, it has been one month since Wave came to live with us. It seemed like a good day to make her a special treat for breakfast. :) She loves eggs, but has only had them once before. So I thought - why not make her a layer cake, with egg as the base? I made an egg, cut two large slices...
