    How are dubia roaches different from a typical roach?

    I guess the title says it all. How are dubia roaches different from a typical roach? As in a roach you might find in a shed, woodpile, etc. Mind you I am not feeding, nor attempting to feed my dragon a wild caught insect of any kind. I just wondered if there was really a difference.

    Nervous about my order

    How concerned should I be about a poop issue? I got her yesterday and there wasa normal looking poop in the box. A minute ago she had a snotty, wet looking, cow patty resembling poop. The whole room literally stinks. She acts normal, is alert, tasting things, etc. Could it just be stress?

    Nervous about my order

    She came this morning, seems healthy and alert. She has all of her toes, no tail nip. Her colors range from orange to a lemony yellow. So far all is well.

    Nervous about my order

    About the regular bulbs, I'm having trouble getting enough heat out of them. I got a pack of Sylvania 60W Halogen Bulbs, 785 Lumens. I have one about 4 to 5 inches from the basking area. After about 30 minutes it is only up to 90 degrees. Did I get the wrong bulb. The spotlamp will hit 110...

    Nervous about my order

    Not primarily that, I kept reading so many bad reviews and so few positive ones. Shipping did kind of worry me, and I didn't expect during the snow storm. Some reviews dealt with people that had a lot of issues involving shipping, guess it got me paranoid. Supposed to get her this Wednesday.

    I'll probably seem nasty, but I really don't obsess about salmonella or diseases in general, except maybe for when someone coughs in my face. I have two turtles, and have been known to handle them, wipe my hands on my pants (if my hands are wet), then make myself a sandwich. I do keep my...

    Nervous about my order

    I asked if I could have a pic. I was told it would cause shipping delays, and the dragon might be shedding. I could possibly have a pic once all other customers got their orders shipped if it was shedding no pics could be provided. Tempted to try aand cancel the order, make a trip to a few pet...

    Nervous about my order

    Has anyone purchased any bearded dragons from fire and ice dragons? I ordered one around 12 days ago. I was told it would ship the next day,the git an email saying it was to cold to ship. I understand that, but was confused stating that it was to cold for their heat packs to activate. I thought...

    Should my beardie shed before now?

    I keep reading mixed info a bout d3. Most of what I read says uvb alliws the dragon to produce its own d3. He has started loosing weight, not wanting to eat. He will drink, and when I do get food diwn him he will poop later. He will mainly just lay there, occasionally moving in or out from...

    bath & misting

    Not sure how deep that is. You want the sides of the container high enough that it can't jump out and run away. Then add enough warm water to come up to its shoulders.

    Should my beardie shed before now?

    It is a tube, I don't use coils. He has a bowl of squash, mustard, and turnip greens. That stays in and gets refreshed swapped out. I have reptivite that I dust a cricket with twice a week. I don't want to overdose him. I drop one cricket in at a time until he quits eating, though lately he...

    Should my beardie shed before now?

    I've had my beardie since December 14th. It was shedding that day. Here is a pic of it now. It has not shed since. It seems I remember my other beardie shedding quicker. It has a new uvb, 10.0, gets fed veggies and calcium dusted crickets 2x a day, is in a 30 gallon tank with a basking temp...

    Mean little beardie

    Picking it up when it's sleepy just gives a second's pause before it goes apes##t on me. I tried the shirt thing, didn't help. It seems any movement or touch sets it off. It eats and poops fine, still. I bought a new 10.0 bulb, just in case. I tried doing away with th basking bulb in favor of...

    I do feed other greens also. I do use the website you mention, it's how I learned what to feed my first dragon. It lists kale as being ok on occasion. It as the only green I did mention, though. I get mustard greens for from my neighbors garden. I don't reach from above, this is my second...

    It has not gotten better, is it just a lost cause to even bother asking?

    Mean little beardie

    3 usually and a small chip of kale. I am not sure of the measurement, but they are the width of his/her head. I have a big colony of crickets and pick out the appropriately sized ones. I offer them until my dragon stops eating, then catch the uneaten ones to keep them from biting. The dragon...

    Mean little beardie

    The last two days my beardie opens its mouth and follows me around the cage, it will try and jump at me with its mouth open. I have tried puttinng greens in its mouth when it goes to bite. It has started ignoring food I offer and trying to go for my arm or hand. I feel ashamed to say, but it...
