Ok, so it's mid-Summer and my beardie is suddenly in what looks like some kind of a deep sleep. Now he did not brumate last year (he's 3 now) and I thought that meant he probably just wouldn't brumate at all. He's been in his outside enclosure for a couple of days since the temperature has been...

I seriously cannot find a fixture for these bulbs. It's probably going to be a 36" fixture, but I can't find it outside of a terrarium hood which is just too big. Anyone use these T5's with slimmer UV fixtures? Zoo Med Reptisun T5 HO 10.0 UVB High Output Bulbs That's the type of bulb I...

Alright, so I use rocks in my beardies enclosure. They are basically slabs of granite that I extracted from a huge....granite rock jutting up in my front yard. I re-did his enclosure. Moved his UV light closer by constructing a make-shift platform for it. I'm actually going to be adding to it so...

I'll start by saying that I can't do a Vet visit until at least Monday. No Vets are open right now (E-Vets around here don't deal with reptiles) and no vets are open at all on Sunday. Not to mention that there's like 2 reptile-certified vets within 150 miles of where I am. Beardie is acting...

Alright, so I was originally mounting this thing by sticking it to some very sticky tape inside of the enclosure. It worked for about a month and a half, but one day it suddenly fell quite literally only an inch or slightly more from beardies face. He was basking, I was on the computer and I saw...

Alright, so I wanted something that lasts a while since the crickets I get seem to die off way too quickly. Superworms are slightly more expensive, but they last longer (I had one that I thought were done with and I left them alone for several months...went back to clean the container and they...

So I re-arranged the room that the cage is in and it's quite funny now to watch Rupert. He's in a 75 gallon tank with all the proper fixtures (10.0 reptisun, heat light, temp. probe, ceramic tiles, granite rocks from outside even a Repti-hammck) and he seems to love it. I re-arranged the room...

Alright, so my beardie is about 2 years old now and I'm just curious about his feeding. I've always been great with his feeding. When he was a baby he got pinhead crickets with calcium (4 a week) and vitamins (3 a week) then moved him to larger crickets and less calcium/vitamin per week as per...

I wanted to get an aluminum pan (like for cooking) and fill it about half-way with alfalfa pellets to put into the tank so the beardie can dig and just relax in them. The pan makes it less likely to fling all over the place and I can easily take it out when he's done. Are there any alternatives...

Alright, I just don't understand how there could be such an enormous division over the use of sand as a substrate among bearded dragon owners. On the one hand you get people saying that sand can be in-explicitly ingested by a overly active bearded dragon thus leading to impaction and eventually...

Hello, Does anyone have a good link for making your own styrofoam background? Is there any downside to using these kinds of backgrounds? I'm a little worried that when Rupert starts running around that he might scratch up the background...does the sealer guard against any damage? Is it...

Alright, so I am moving Rupert into a larger cage (75 gallon) and have a collection of rocks from the store already, but I want to bring in some rocks from the outside because the store is expensive for [whatever] some reason. I was wondering if there are any types of rocks that aren't...

I am moving my beardie to a larger tank (it's about 2.5x larger) and have gotten a longer UVB fixture [and bulb] along with another heat light (lower wattage) to heat the cage evenly when it starts to get cold again... My question is what's the best way to mount the UVB fixture in the tank? It...

Alright, I don't know why, but I'm a little worried about Rupert's size. He seems smaller than most bearded dragons, but then again I have no clue if it is indeed smaller than average. He is a male (I've checked several times to be sure) and at the moment he measures roughly 18" from snout to...

Okay...so I am moving to a larger tank (from a 30 gallon to a 75 gallon) and was worried about two things...UVB availability and heat dispersion. At the moment, the 30 gallon tank has an ambient temperature of ~80 degrees F (farthest from heat source) while beneath the heat source it is closer...

Alright...nothing wrong health-wise or anything...no emergency. I just realized today that my dragon only goes to the bathroom when he is able to bask outside. I've got no clue why...he did it when I brought him out at the beginning of Summer and that's pretty much the only way he goes to the...

Alright, I've been having problems lately with my crickets and was hoping someone could help out. I don't really have the time to actually breed crickets so I end up getting about 1000 crickets every month for my Bearded Dragon and I house them in a large tub with water gels, an assortment of...

Age: ~5 months Temperatures: 105-110 on basking side, 80-85 on cool side UV: Recently replaced Reptisun 10.0 tube bulb Food: Crickets, 5x calcium 2x vitamins (both the brands suggested here all the time) Substrate: Stone tile This actually started about a week ago and I thought it was because...

So, I noticed yesterday that Rupert seems to throw one of his back legs up and it looks like he is scratching his head like a dog. I'm not sure if this is the "twitching" referred to during MBD development or if it's just a quirk with Beardies. He doesn't look to be shedding on his head and he...

So I held about half a section of a clementine in front of Rupert and he went at it more voraciously than I expected and took the thing out of my hand and chomped it up faster than I could snatch it from him. He's ~4 months old and has actually had a tiny bit of orange before (he took one small...
