    Check my new cage...let me know what you think!

    Hi Everyone, We just set up our new, permanent, cage for our almost 1 year old bearded dragon. I wanted to post it and see what you all thought. Let me know if you see any problems with it. Do you think that she'll be getting UVB from her hammock? There are two Repti-sun 10.0 bulbs on the...

    Have you ever fed Hornworms?

    I'm thinking of ordering some hornworms for my beardie. She's about 9 1/2 months old and maybe 250grams. Not sure of her length, maybe 16 inches or so. Anyway, I want to order hornworms but am wondering on what size to order. I'm thinking about getting the smaller ones (3/4 inch....growing to...

    Just a cute picture and update

    I just wanted to post a new picture of my Beardie Pascal. I introduced her back in June when we got her. She's now about 8 months old and a wonderful pet! She's just over 200grams and probably about 17inches long. She just started sleeping on her hammock. It's so cute!:) She was sleeping in this...

    Can 7 month old dragon brumate?

    I have a 7 1/2 month old female dragon. She's about 16 inches long and almost 200grams. She's been eating very well (eats dubia nymphs, phoenix worms and starting to eat a good amount of greens). She's pooping about every other day and in general seems active and happy. All of my cage specs and...

    How much veggies for a 7 month old??

    How much of my Beardie's salad should she be eating. She is almost 7 months old and about 185grams, maybe 16 inches long or so. She eats dubia and phoenix worms. She eats maybe 40-50 bugs a day and is finally starting to eat her salad. I give her a combination of mixed greens (mustard and...

    Beardie Escape?!

    I'm wondering if any of your beardies have ever escaped from their cage?! I have a 5 month old (12 inch/90g) bearded dragon. She is in a 20Gallon Long right now with just a flat rock for basking and a food and water dish. No furniture with much height at all. When I got home today I looked for...

    Male or Female? Please give your opinion!

    I can't believe that I'm having to ask this, since we got our dragon from a pretty reputable breeder, and he/she was about 7-8 inches when we got him/her. But, after assuming that our dragon was a male (since that's what we ordered) I double checked today and from what I know (not much) "he" is...

    Looking for enclosure ideas and lighting help

    I just ordered a 4x2x2 foot custom cage. I can't wait to get it all set up but have a few questions. Does anyone have any input as to the best place to get viv furniture? Does it matter if I use rocks or wood for him to climb on? I'm worried that he won't be able to be close enough to the UVB...

    When is a bearded dragon it's "Adult" color?

    I know that with each shed, a baby dragon's color seems to change and often brighten or at least change. My question is, when is a bearded dragon it's "adult" color? I've seen that most babies are gray/brownish, but then change with each shed. I have a 4 month old bearded dragon and I'm...

    Shedding in a day? Is that normal?

    I went out of town for just one night. I left my beardie with a big bowl full of Phoenix worms and a light timer. When we left, our beardie was looking a bit dull in color, almost cloudy, for about 7-10 days. I was expecting a shed, but when we left there were no signs except his coloring. We...

    If you bought a cage....which cage did you buy??

    I was wondering which cage you bought for your dragon. There was a discussion on another discussion comparing "Showcase Cages" vs "Custom Cages," and it got me thinking. I had heard that showcase cages aren't ideal because they have a fixed spot for both the heat lamps and the UVB lighting. That...

    feeding new berdie

    This is what I just posed for another post....maybe it will be helpful. This is all assuming that your set up (temps, etc) are correct. I am by no means an expert, as I've only had my beardie for about 3 weeks now. I'll pass on my personal experience. Our beardie wouldn't touch his phoenix...

    How many Phoenix Worms = 1 cricket??

    I was wondering, nutritionally, how many Phoenix worms = 1 cricket?? My Beardie is eating about 15 crickets and 25-30 Phoenix worms a day. Is it a 1:1 ratio (will fill him up equally and give him equal nutrition) or are Phoenix worms more filling/nutritious - so that every 1 Phoenix worm equals...

    How much does YOUR bearded dragon eat each day?

    I'm just wondering how much your dragons eat each day. I have a 3 month old dragon (about 9 inches and 28grams) who is finally coming out of relocation stress after getting her about 2 weeks ago. Today he ate 20 phoenix worms and about 15 crickets.That's the most he's eaten since we've gotten...

    How long are your dragons and how much do they weigh?

    We've had our new dragon for about a week and a half now. He just turned 3 months a day or so ago and he weights 26 grams, about 8 1/2 inches long. 4 days ago he weighed 22 grams so he is gaining but I was just wondering how fast he should be gaining/growing? He didn't eat very much the first...

    Won't eat Phoenix worms...help

    I've had my 3 month old Bearded dragon for about a week now. We were hoping to feed him mostly Phoenix worms as a staple but aside from eating a couple of them the first day he arrived he won't touch them. So we were forced to go out and get crickets. I'd LOVE him to at least start eating some...

    Lighting/enclosure question - please help to clarify!

    We are setting up a "starter setup" for our first dragon. We plan to use this setup for a few months until we get our permanent/adult setup. Here is my question. We got a 20 gallon long tank. The breeder told us to get a 24" Fluorescent type UVB fixture (to fit a 10.0 UVB light tube). She said...

    What size habitat do you have??

    We are in the market for a bearded dragon and are hearing conflicting stories as to which kind of cage we need. We had heard that a 36inx18in was sufficent, although minimum for an adult. We were looking at 36x24inch cages to give a little extra room but are now hearing that they should be in no...
