I really like the look of the wood, so I don't think I want to use paint. I heard that you don't have to use sealer if you use something besides pine/cedar. But I think I'll use at least one coat on it, just to be safe. I had a custom built enclosure before, made out of pine. Just wasn't quite...
When I had my silkie I always put lotion on him every couple of days. I would wait till I gave him a bath, then put it on. Yes, you need to start using it now. As he gets older and starts to shed less, you don't have to use it as often. I've always used unscented baby lotion and never had any...
Hello, I'm about to make my 4x2x2 enclosure. I was going to use Maple wood. I know Pine and Cedar are toxic, so you have to apply a lot of sealer. Since I'm using Maple, do I still have to use a sealer? Thanks

Then there's Luna. Who's probably my favorite :) These pics are about two weeks old as...

Sorry for all the pics of of Nagini, he's just amazing :)
Thanks :) And yeah I researched for about 6 months before I got my Silk. I got most information from this site, it was very helpful. I wish more people would just take the time to do their homework before buying a beardie on impulse, then having it suffer. I see tons on craigslist that are not...
I know, I meant towards the end of next year. She'll be 18 months next summer so she'll be around 22 months or so before I try, and of course I'm going to make sure she's nice, fat, and healthy :)
