My beardie has been slowing down with eating last month or so (not eating barely any greens, but still goes after live food). I thought it could have been slowing down for brumation but...

    Lighting Time for Season Change

    I have my lights on a timer. They go on at 7am and go off at 9pm. Does everyone change the lighting times with seasonal changes or keep it the same year round?

    4x2x2 in the works

    Digital Probe Thermometer

    I recently got a Acurite Digital Thermometer and i was wondering if it has to be stuck on something to work or can it just dangle in a certain area to get the correct temp. The first time i stuck it near the basking area my little man started licking and batting at it like a cat haha.

    Commercial Foods

    I mentioned before that i use dried mealworms in my beardys diet and many people have said that they are not good. I was thinking about substituting the mealworms with the commercially made bearded dragon foods you can obtain in pet stores. Anyone have any input on these foods?
