    is my beardie dehydrated?

    Ok so I was never really worried before but I came across a post saying that if they have wrinkly skin that they are dehydrated. Here are a few pics of my beardie for reference on his skin: Right now I am soaking him twice a week for 10-15 minutes and I also keep his greens misted through...

    Major issue with basking spot

    Ok so my house is usually kept at between 70 and 75 degrees and Pouncey's basking spot was always between 100-110 degrees. I usually check his temps a couple of times a week (he is in a 20 gallon long until Christmas when I get him a bigger tank so there isn't a spot to keep a probe thermometer...

    PO Boxes

    Do any of you have PO Boxes to make it easier to get bugs shipped to you? I was supposed to have an order of Phoenix Worms held today and even called them this morning to arrange pickup and when I get to the post office am told that they are out for delivery. Then they tell me that I should have...

    how much do adults eat?

    I am just wondering how much of a live feeder is safe for adults to eat without them having too much. All I read about is babies and the 2 to 3 times a day for 15 minutes thing. I am guessing that with adults, you don't give them an all you can eat thing and you can limit their food? The feeders...

    CHE

    I was just wondering how much these will warm his tank. I was going to wait and get one when I build his 4by2by2 because I figured with all the space it had to heat it would be fine. Basically my house doesn't get below 68 but it is freezing. When it is straight winter, I can put the heat on and...

    spooked baby

    I had animal planet on tv and this show about the amazon wild came on. It started with a bunch of noisy monkeys and I think it freaked out my beardie. He has been in his hide for the last 40 minutes...he has never used his hide for anything other than rubbing his back when he is shedding. Not...

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a breed that it would be big enough for at full growth? Something that is preferably low maintenance and inexpensive to feed? I used to...

    Hey I am just wondering what you guys use to take the temperature of bath water. I have re-purposed a candy thermometer which gives me accurate readings but it is so slow that by the time the dial starts getting close to where I need it to be, the water starts getting too hot and I end up...

    Phoenix vs. Repti worms

    I am getting ready to order some of one of these but not sure which way to go. I tried the intro cup of Phoenix worms and it went great. It shipped from Georgia priority mail and I am in Florida so it was very quick. I noticed that reptiworms are much much cheaper but in my experience with...

    Bathing

    So Pouncey absolutely hates having baths and I was just wondering if it is possible that he will start liking them in time? I have had him for 2 weeks now and he has had 6 baths total. I have a small rubbermaid dish washing tub and I put a cup of water in it (90-95 degrees) and then put him in...

    Amount of salad

    My baby has been eating a lot of turnip greens and squash. I am just wondering if there is such a thing as too much. This past week, I keep adding more and more greens to his dish because he keeps eating it all and I am not really sure if it is something that is supposed to be available to him...
