    Help - 18" UVB in a 4x2x2 viv?

    Stella is in a 30 gal viv currently, with an 18" Reptisun 10.0 tube. I will be working on setting up Stella's new 4x2x2 viv over the next few days, and I had been *planning* on buying an Arcadia tube and HO fixture when the 6 months is up on her current 18" Reptisun (somewhere in Oct), so...

    You think this steamer will work?

    I've been looking EVERYWHERE for a steamer locally - to disinfect Stanley's cage and blow this coccidia away once and for all - and having absolutely no luck. :banghead: I was just about to give up and order one on Amazon, and then I drove past a Sears appliance outlet and figured "What the...

    How do breeders determine the sex of hatchlings???

    I was told that Stanley was a male dragon by the breeder I got him from. I honestly do not mind either way - male, female - they're all sweeties. :love5: I am having serious doubts lately that Stanley is really a boy, though. Time will tell! I plan on just referring to him as a boy until...

    Which is more effective at killing coccidia-Ammonia or Steam

    I just found out that bleach pretty much won't touch coccidia :banghead: I thought bleach killed pretty much EVERYTHING! Which is MORE effective at killing coccidia then: steam from a handheld steamer, or ammonia? If I'm going to do another "biohazard level 4" sterilization of Stan's cage...

    Question on parasites from feeder insects

    I've been pondering this, and I tried researching it a bit on Google, but not really getting any satisfactory answers. :study: :banghead: Reptiles can get internal parasites from their feeder insects, correct? Okay, so if you treat your reptile with medication, but he keeps eating the...

    Experiencing The Window for the first time: Those damn birds are making him nervous! :shock: It's Bathtime! Yay! ...the little booger figured out that he could use his froggie as a flotation device!

    Babies puffing up!

    I just wanted to say that I think it is the CUTEST thing watching baby beardies when they finally figure out how to puff their beards! I caught Stanley in his basking spot yesterday, practicing his puffing for the first time. When he saw me watching him, he got all embarrassed and deflated...

    Introducing Stanley

    Well, I've been poking around this forum for a couple weeks now, I figure I should probably introduce my dragon to everyone... Here is Stanley! ...or Stanley Steamer, as we've been calling him... :lol: He's 2 months old, and I got him a week ago from Atomic Lizard Ranch here in Arizona...

    Halogen bulb - safety question

    I am using a 50w halogen bulb for Stanley's basking area, and it's really working out nicely as far as keeping the basking temp at around 105-110. The problem is, I am really paranoid at how HOT the bulb itself gets. I have it in one of those smaller-sized aluminum-domed clamp lights from Home...

    Hours of light vs dark for a baby?

    Could someone please refresh my memory as to how many hours the lights should be on for a baby? I can't remember how I did it with my other 2 beardies years ago. :banghead: It seems that I remember it being 14 hours on, 10 hours off... Stanley seems to start to crash out after 12 hrs tho...

    Baby spits out his reptiworms?

    I just ordered some reptiworms for Stanley - I was excited because these seem like a good alternative to crickets. But he doesn't seem to like them. He won't eat them out of his dish, but if I try to hand-feed them to him, he'll take a bite - then spit them out. :roll: I've been working on...

    Reptiworms size question

    My new Beardie will be here next week, and I want to make sure I've got Reptiworms by the time he gets here. He's about 1.5 months old, and 5.5" long. What size Reptiworms should I order, do you think? Based on the pics on the website, the Extra Small look like they might be too small, but I...
