    How often to make new cleaning solution?

    I use this cleaning solution... http://www.beardeddragon.co/index.php?route=product/product&path=73&product_id=463 How often do I need to make a new batch? I usually do it every few days, but I feel like I could be wasting product like this and want to know if I could do it less often.

    How to ship dubias in hot weather?

    I'm downsizing my dubia colony so I'm about to post a very large amount of dubias up here in the For Sale section for a ridiculously good price, as I just want them off my hands. But anyway... I live in Texas, where temperatures are currently in the high 90's - so I know I'll need to be very...

    Confused about how to use heat packs

    Hey guys, So the electricity in part of my house went out for a full day a while back - thankfully the part of my house where the dragons are housed was fine, but it led me to think I should probably be more prepared in case the power goes out completely for a good while. Even though I live in...

    Will a CHE melt my zip-ties?

    I have both my dragons in their own 75gal, 4ft long glass tanks with screen tops. Being that the recommended length for the UVB bulb is at least 2/3 the length of the tank - I got the 36" Reptisun 10.0's and ended up having to use pretty heavy enameled steel fixtures since I couldn't find...

    Captain's Crazy Noisy Morning (pics!)

    So all morning I've been hearing "scratch scratch scurry thunk! clud!" and repeat... over, and over, and over again. I was pretty sure I knew who the culprit was, so I went up and down the stairs trying to catch him in the act each time. It was all to no avail of course, as he froze in place...

    Help! Nyctotherus???

    My beardie Lotus's fecal test results just came back showing that she has a parasite called Nyctotherus. I can hardly find any information on this parasite, other than it's apparently some kind of protozoan. As far as my vet's knowledge goes, this parasite has never been found in a bearded...

    My fridge FROZE ALL of my supplements - Please help!!

    So yesterday I pulled a bottle of water out of my kitchen fridge only to realize it was hardly cold at all. I took the temp in the fridge and it was in the low to mid 50's. I didn't really have anything I needed in there except dragon food & supplements, so I pulled that all out and put it in my...

    Hey guys, I buy this liquid calcium >>> http://www.reptiza.net/beardeddragon.co/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=56 from beardeddragon.co (I buy some with D3 and some without). I haven't been refrigerating it because everything else I buy from there specifically says on the...

    CHE help please!

    Hello everyone... it's going to be getting cold where I live within the next few months, so I'm trying to prepare beforehand with a CHE set-up. I have two dragons, each in their own 75gal (48"x18"x21") glass tanks with screen tops. When it gets cold, we usually have the heater on during the day...

    Shed hasn't come off in weeks!

    So Lotus has been looking like she's going to shed her entire head, most of her tail, and a lot of her underbelly. It's been two weeks since the signs of a shed became apparent, but not a single scale has lifted off yet. It went from looking frosty white, to kind of translucent, to now looking...

    How many live feeders for a 9-month-old dragon?

    Hey everyone, So I just brought home a 9-month-old male beardie a little over a week ago, and I'm really struggling to figure out how many live feeders to give him. When I brought him home he was 15" long and weighed 290g. I was giving him 10 medium feeders per day for the first several days...

    Need info specifically for juvenile/sub-adults

    (You can skip the big paragraph below & just read the questions if you'd like.) As some of you may know, my rescue girl Monster passed away two months ago due to sudden heart failure. I still have my other rescue girl Lotus - and though she's had her issues, she's been great lately & of course...

    Gravid symptoms?

    So I've read plenty on here concerning symptoms of being gravid (not eating, runny little urates, glass dancing, scratching, etc.) but I was wondering how differently the symptoms can vary from one dragon to the next. My Lotus has been scratching an awful lot lately, wants to be out of her tank...

    My beardie hates hornworms... WHAT?!?

    My dragon Lotus has always been a great eater. She eats her greens and her live feeders eagerly all the time. She's eaten everything from butterworms, dubias, phoenix worms, and wax worms - all with enthusiasm. So I recently orderd her 36 large hornworms (got 45 with overcount, spent about $44...

    Search Issues

    Hey there Alex & Mods, You know I love this place, but the 3-character minimum on the search function is driving me crazy!! For example, I had heard of an amazing little handicapable dragon named LG whose owner is a member here - so I tried to find the thread by searching for "LG" but it...

    Lotus vomited - Doing much better now!!

    Hi everyone, Yesterday Lotus vomited a bunch of undigested dubias that she had eaten two days prior. I immediately put her in a warm bath and gave her water w/electrolytes orally. I then rushed her up to the vet, thankfully they're open on Saturdays. The vet said she seemed ok aside from a...

    My little Monster passed away... I miss her so much

    I'm typing through floods of tears & blurry vision, so forgive me in advance for any errors. 10 weeks ago I brought home 2 rescue girls, Lotus & Monster. They were both rescued from the same owner who hadn't been feeding them & they were pretty underweight. At the time, they were guesstimated...

    Switching from MVB to UVB tube/basking bulb... please help

    With the rising summer heat here in Texas, I'm having a hard time keeping the girls' temperature gradient correct as the ambient temp is so high. My house is hardly dropping below 78 degrees with the AC running 24/7. I am currently using Powersun 160w lights for both of my 4'x2'x2 tanks. I have...

    Live Feeder Equivalents?

    Hey guys, this may sound like a dumb question but I've never used worms as a staple feeder before so I was wondering how the heck I'm supposed to know how many horn, silk, phoenix, etc. worms my girls will eat in each feeding versus the dubias they're getting now. I have no intention of ever...

    Good News!!

    Recently I was SO happy to find out that my two rescue beardies, Lotus & Monster, tested negative for Adenovirus! :blob5: I've been through a lot with these girls (parasites galore, not eating, getting pooped on all the time, stress, stress, stress) so it was a really nice relief to finally...
