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.

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...

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...

I got a second beardie the other day, I had tons of tanks from my other beardie ( 3 year old in100 gallon tank). I have the new beardie ( unsure of age, about 7 inches nose to end of tail) for around 2 weeks. It is in a 30 gallon tank, with a heatlamp that cuts off at 110 and a10.0 uvb bulb...

We were staying in a hotel in Atlanta, waiting for my wife's citizenship interview when our dragon did something naughty. We had our dragon out on one of the beds, he had been sitting there stairing at us for some time. We had went out and carried him in my wife's purse (which she had emptied...

Do you guys normally use plywood for the floor and sides of an encloure when you build it? I am planning on making one and wondered what type of lumber the primary construction should consist of.

Nope, I haven't tried this, but I am curious. My dragon loves, loves, loves, grapes. He used to take water from a syringe a drop at a time, now he won't. He hasn't in a long time, I worry, so I bathe him a lot to keep him hydrated. If I am feeding him a grape (I always split them in half), he...

Mr. Dragon went and passed out under his heat lamp, which is on a thermostat and does indeed cut off at 110 F. He slept there a long time, eventually he awoke somehow and realized he was hot. Apparently he was very hot, as he cocked his head and looked at me as if to say , "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT THE...

I went to town after running out of crickets and got 300 more to restock. I brought them home in 2 of those wire screen cages like you see people take them fishing in. I brought my dragon outside and tilted the cage enough for him to stick his head in. I let him pig out until he was full and...

I bought my dragon back in October at Petsmart. He was pretty small, but a lot larger than the others they had. I've been feeding him greens and crickets mostly, and he's been shedding pretty much weekly, up until about a month to two months ago. He just stopped shedding, he hasn't turned white...

Not sure if this is really anything to post about, but I was just curious so what the heck eh? I was walking around outside and had my dragon with me, he was on my chest clinging to my shirt and looking up at my face. If I turned my head he'd move from one side to the other to keep a watch on...

My beardie seems to want the whole entire leaf. I've torn or cut them into pieces forever. I went to feed him last night and my wife asked why I was tearing it. I replied that I wanted to mix it in with his other food so that he'd eat them. She said not to and instead put in an entire turnip...

My dragon seems to hate baths. He's fine to handle, but once I near the tub he wants to run up my arm and onto my head. I don't have the water to deep. I have tried getting it deep enough for him to swim, and I have tried shallow enough to just splash around. He will run around madly trying to...

Has anyone tried raising grasshoppers? I got a can of the cooked grasshoppers, the CAN O' (somethin) and also a bottle of the dried Fluker's Beardie Medley (huge grasshoppers, crickets, and meal worms). My dragon seems to be nuts about grasshoppers in particular, and I was wondering if this was...

This is probably stupid, but has anyone tried using those tiny desktop/tabletop ornamental water fountain type things for a drinking dish for their dragon? The little fountains that look like they flow down a wall or maybe just bubble up over some rocks are they type of things I was thinking...

The title says it all. I'm wanting to get a good vitamin for my dragon, and I seem to only really find two. Herptivite seems to have phosphorous and Reptivite seems to have Vitamin A instead of beta carotine. I hear you want to avoid Vitamin A in favor of betacarotine, and I also hear you want...

I've seen a few people metion feeding their dragon baby food. Is this recommended and if so, what kind (brand/flavor) are safe? I'd like to try it out if it's safe to give mine some more variety.

My mother picked up on of those natural hollowed out cork logs that you can either split in half or leave whole from Petsmart for my birthday. I placed it in my lizards tank, and my wife has since noticed small worms in the log and powdered wood on the log and around the carpet. The other day i...

I hope this doesn't come across too nasty, but I guess I'm kind of a sick person and this struck me as hilarious. I had came home and went to do my daily cage cleaning before I fed my dragon. As usual he had eaten most of his food and pooped in the food bowl. A "my complements to the chef"...

I had found that he had shed all of his back skin in one giant piece when I got home. I fed Shin Chan and given him some water with a syringe, leaving him alone as he crawled up on his platform to soak in the heat from the basking light. I came back about 30 minutes later to find this...
