Just wanted to put this out there for any other keepers who have a baby bearded dragon who will stubbornly not eat, keep up the hard work and don't give up on them. When I got Nye, he was an ok but seemingly picky eater. He ate well on dubias for a couple of days and then refused them...

I got so much advice from this forum when I first got Darwin and I can't believe it's almost been 10 years. You've been so much fun to have and I couldn't believe that a lizard could have so much personality. You're missed big guy.

I know this site has done a lot of bashing of the ReptiGlo 10.0 but I've used it previously without any problems. Darwin spent the first 6 months with me under one (2011) and grew like a weed (from 6" to 18") and ate like there was no tomorrow. I eventually switched to the Reptisun because I...

I was just at my local Petco to pick up some Superworms for Darwin (Happy Birthday Darwin!) until the weather warms up so that I could get them shipped to me. When I got there, a manager was labeling all the supers and mealworms from Timberline with discounted stickers. I opened one of the...

I opened my dubia bin just now to feed HH and I saw this: I thought it was a GIGANTIC maggot at first :puke: but then realized that it was attached to a female. I isolated it from the rest of the colony in case it was some sort of parasite. Does anyone else recognize what this is? It has...

The last 2 shipments of roaches I received had been delayed at least 2 days. In the cold weather especially, feeders will be more fragile and delays could lead to higher rates of DOA. I had a shipment sent out Wednesday that, based on tracking number, was supposed to reach me on Friday but has...

I first noticed Helen Hawking in a classifieds ad, looking for a fellow companion in a lonely world. Her piece sang to me and one picture in particular caught my eye. I felt that I had found a kindred spirit, someone with the same zest and zeal for life that I possessed. We spoke at first...

Ok technically I don't have her yet but I will be getting her, barring any unforeseen delays, on Thursday. Some may have seen her in the For Free section: [ Invalid URL Removed / p= t=178438 f=51 ] I saw her Saturday afternoon as I was watching college fb and she just wouldn't leave my head...

Yesterday when I went to put in some broccoli stems for the breeder roaches, I noticed what I thought was dust on the top of the bin and under the lid. Upon closer inspection, they were tiny white moving mites which I identified as grain mites. Infestation, overnight. :puke: Not sure if they...

Petsmart was out of reptile leashes, so I decided to try out a ferret leash instead. I am unsure where to loop Darwin through. I initally figured the most secure would be around his neck and then around the front of his back legs. The middle part turned out to be too short. I tried to put it...

I got Darwin May 5th as a 6 inch little wisp of nothing who would play on my thumb: And now has gotten to be a 16" monster that has to sleep on my lap: We are about to celebrate our 4 month anniversary soon. 10 inches in less than 4 months...is that normal? :shock: Every time I bring...

My local Petsmart will give me large egg crates for free that come with their shipments of crickets. They often come with some baked on poop from the Texas heat during shipping. I'm wondering if it is safe to use these egg crates in my dubia bin, and if the dubias can catch something nasty...

Darwin's tail hasn't shed in the last month, while the rest of his body has shed twice. It's gotten that milky, clouded look for a while now, but is just not shedding. I've tried daily baths, rubbing his tail,the cocoa butter, the toothbrush in the bath, and bought Retpi Shedding Aid and have...

I have some hard stems left from cleaning asparagus for dinner. Can I throw those into my dubias bin?

I normally drop Darwin's dubias in one at a time so I can keep track of how many he's eating. One landed on his tail yesterday halfway down, and he looked at it for a second, tried to grab it, realized it was out of his reach, and tried to chase it. He ended up chasing his own tail for about 3...

Hi I'm sorry if this has been handled before but I didn't seem to find the answer I was looking for :D Darwin has been shedding nearly nonstop for a month now. Each other part of her body has shed 3 times now, but her tail has only shed once. It's looked like it wants to shed for a while now...

http://houston.craigslist.org/pet/2476752317.html I thought his skin looked like it was hanging loosely onto the grass and his head looked a little odd. I emailed the guy, just curious about him, and it sounds like he's never been under any kind of UV light.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I'm wondering if I can get water crystals for my new dubia in stores instead of online. Hardware stores, petshops, bait shops (?), etc. Thanks!
