Hello all, I noticed several dark spots on Spencer's chin and mouth about a month ago. He wasn't acting lethargic or anything. So I thought it was just something that he got on his face. Considering my visual impairment, I finally had my roommate take pictures of it because it hadn't gone away...

Anyone have one for their beardie? Pros and cons? Please and thank you!

Hello all, What are your thoughts on millet seed for substrate? Before anyone busts me for considering loose substrate, I would like to point out that I'm not a newbie handler. I have thoroughly done research and just want some feedback from other BD enthusiasts. My dragon is currently on...

That the capital letters B and D put together is the "cool grin" emoticon? So Spencer is a BD and quite a character. 8) He's my cool, calm, and collected little guy. :mrgreen: Yup, this post basically screams "college grad = no life."

I've had my dubia colony since December. Nothing was happening. :banghead: I talked with other dubia breeders both online and in person at expos and they said I was doing everything right. Today I open up the bin and there were babies! YAY - FINALLY!!!! :blob8: So a few questions: -...

Concern regarding Dubia Postby c4chaos » Tue Nov 20, 2012 1:14 pm I'm leaving my apartment for almost a week because of Thanksgiving break. The thermostat for the apartment is set to 69 degrees. I know the temp is going to drop a little at night. I'm taking my reptiles with me, but I'm not sure...

Not a UVB question! I am currently using a 100W Zoomed bulb for my dragon. The warm side doesn't quite reach 100 degrees. I know that's not good enough and plan on changing it tomorrow. Would it make sense for me to purchase a 150W bulb and use a dimmer switch to regulate the temperature? This...

Hello forum, Several questions: 1. What heat source do you use for your dubia colony? I'm getting a shipment in from Dubai Deli and I have carpet so I can't put a heat pack on there. Can I just tape it to the side of the tub? 2. Are phoenix worms a good staple feeder other than dubia? My...

I want to weigh my beardie. What kind of scale do I need to buy and where would I get it from? I would prefer a digital scale.

I have a 6 inch beardie. Pinhead crickets are hard for me to see. Repti-worms are what I have now, but is there an alternate feeder that isn't so jumpy that I can feed?

I have yet to name him. He is a leatherback and was hatched a month and a half ago and is 6 inches when measured from nose to tail. Name suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In May of 2012, I had to retire my first guide dog Jim. This happened on Friday, May 11th. Monday, Miles passed away suddenly. My roommate was keeping an eye on him and said he was acting funny. He had visited the vet several weeks because I thought something peculiar was going on with his...

I'm going to make this perfect...... Bought a fixture that will hold a 24 in UVB. Q: where do I buy a Repti-Sun 10.0 for a reasonable price? Petsmart asked for $50. Q: is a 24" UVB tube and fixture too big for a 20 long? I measured and the fixture will fit inside the tank. (I'm mounting it.)...

Hey BD lovers, I lost Miles to a sudden illness in May. I took him to the vet and they basically gave me medication that made him worse. I'm considering getting another dragon on Saturday. It has been several months and I miss having a BD. I just want to make sure I have the correct lights...

What is the best substrate for a leopard gecko? I am currently using paper towels, but I would like something a bit more firm fitting to my 10 gallon. I was considering reptile carpet, but I heard that it could potentially damage the leo's toes because their nails can get caught on the carpet.

Miles' eyes are swollen. They've been like this for about a day now. I read that this could be because of shed or it could be an infection. A friend of mine said that they were swollen and huge. It's not to the point where he can't open them, but fairly close. He doesn't seem like his usual...

Hey BD type people, The weather is finally nice enough to take Miles outside. He's about 17 inches long from nose to tip of tail. Do you have any recommendations for lizard harnesses? I would like to keep it affordable, but good quality. I just feel like this would at least keep him from...

At what point is your dragon considered an adult? Perhaps this is a stupid question, but I've heard so many different answers.

Hey all, I would like a bigger home for Miles. He's currently in a 20 long. This is short term of course. I am legally blind and building enclosures is not my strongest point. That wasn't supposed to sound pathetic. I am simply saying that building such enclosures require precision. You need...

Hi all, Miles is about 16.75 inches long at 7 months of age. How long do they grow for? Does tank size factor into if he's going to get any bigger? I'm in the process of getting him into a bigger tank. Thanks and hope you are all well. - Sarah & Miles
