    He's chasing my other pets! Now with video!

    It's finally warming up around here, so my house is warm enough to let my Beardie roam around during the day. I've noticed, within the last couple days that he's started chasing my cats around. He isn't puffing or black bearding, but when he sees them, he'll run full speed at them and try to...

    Iowa Reptile Show and Sale in Des Moines?

    It's this Sunday, is anyone going? I'm thinking about making the 3 hour trek and visiting the zoo while we're there. Sounds like fun. There's going to be a demo on venemous snakes.

    Do you live near a Jewel grocery store?

    I went to my local Jewel-Osco tonight so my boyfriend could get some hot wings for dinner and decided to check the produce section. They have these giant bagged greens mixes for sale in the organic section and one has a mix of collards, mustard and turnip greens for $1.99!!! Can you believe it...

    Refuses to eat anything but bugs and butternut squash

    I've had my 2 year old male for 2 and a half weeks and he was a great eater (mostly) until I got him some butternut squash. He ate his whole salad a couple days in a row and then started picking out the squash and leaving the rest. He gets mostly mustard greens, a little bit of collards, some...

    He develops stress marks while I'm looking in his tank :(

    I've had my 2 year old male for almost two weeks and I want to hold him all the time, but not until he's had his bath. I don't think he'd ever had a bath at his first home and he really seems to hate his baths! But now it seems like I moved too quickly and I'm putting too much pressure on him...

    Lost some weight in the last few days

    First off, here are the details: His setup: 75 gallon reptisun 10.0 tube Basking area is 97 and his cool side is 83. I bought him from a lady on Craigslist one week ago today. He's a 2 year old male, previously kept in a 20 gallon long. His diet has been a Dole Spring Salad mix and I...

    I got my first Beardie today, now I have some questions!

    So I FINALLY found an adult Beardie to call my own today, after two months of preparing and waiting and being impatient. I drove an hour and a half through a heavy rainstorm and fell in love with a 2 year old female (I haven't confirmed this) named Lucy. I found her on Craigslist and she wasn't...

    I just called animal control on a pet store

    So last may, I took the kids I used to babysit to a pet store I'd never been to. The conditions were awful and I gave them a one star review on Yelp. The owner contacted me and said I was incorrect and to go back in and talk to him. Well, I've been officially ready to bring a beardie into my...

    Question about bathing before lights go on

    I want to bathe my beardie every morning before I go to work, so it (ideally) doesn't poop in its tank. I'll have the timer set to turn the lights on at 6 am, which is about when I get up, if I don't hit the snooze button. Then I eat breakfast and get caught up on my Internet rounds while I wake...

    How do you feed a baby without going broke?

    As I prepare for my first beardie, I have moved away from wanting to adopt an adult to REALLY wanting a baby instead. But I don't have enough money in my monthly budget to feed a baby (I'm currently trying to pay off my credit card debt) and my Dubia colony will take several months to be ready...

    $45 for 200 mixed Dubia Nymphs, does that sound fair?

    I'm talking to a guy locally about buying a starter colony of Dubias from him and I'm not sure if that's a fair price. They're so cheap on here in the sales section. It'll be 200 mixed nymphs and he's also throwing in an adult pair with a likely gravid female and some egg flats. Honestly, I...

    I made a post on Craigslist asking about local vets-

    There are two vets in my area that have an exotics vet on staff, but I've never been to either, so I asked about them on CL. Most of the replies I've gotten have been helpful experiences of people with their dragons, turtles or rats about both vets. Then I got this one: "I dont mean to b rude...

    Question about UVB tube

    I'm not sure how to word it to get the answer I want on google, so I'll ask here. Is there any way that knocking or jostling a UVB tube in transit will damage it enough that it won't produce uv rays anymore? Maybe my fears are totally off here. I just found a $9 Reptisun 10.0 (with free...

    A question for people who have full-grown adults

    Hello, I'm finally ready to prepare myself for getting my first beardie. I've wanted one for years, but I've been unemployed and I had to force myself to wait until after I got a job. Which I have now, woo hoo! It's been hard, especially lately when there are 5 adults on Craigslist needing a new...
