Hi David, I find Beardies to be very inquisitive and as GoodTruant mentioned just before, beardies will attempt jumps. Be careful, they really aren't limber so they fall flat, like a bellyflop right on their tummies. Personally, I was always concerned about internal damage from falls like that...

Beardies can be picky so you'll have to try various things from the beautiful dragons food list before you find something he really likes. This is a fun part of getting to know your boy. :blob5: My guy hated mustard greens. :puke: LOL! I give mine Kale and dandelion greens together (from the...

I noticed no one mentioned, so I'll add to your information overload.. :lol: You'll need to have this list. http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html This is an EXCELLENT resource! Scroll all the way down the page for food and plants that are safe for your dragon. I also recommend...

Anyone think maybe he has some sunfire in him?

Posting a pic might help folks see what you're seeing. I wouldnt rely solely on stress marks to indicate something is wrong. How is she/he eating, sleeping and defecating?

I would agree, looks like its a boy! Congrats! :lol:

Thanks! Its a product of lots of research, books and good advice gleaned from this site. :wink:

Sounds like Ill be returning the bag of sand after all. LOL. Ill check out home depot for the slate tile. Thank you. :wave: :wave:

I have a few pieces of slate in my viv and I do love it. I'll tell you..where I live, that stuff doesn't come cheap but even the beardie seems to love it. Do you line the whole floor with segments? How do you set it up so that the crix don't hide in between? Here's a shot of my set up. Crickets...

Are the hoppers you buy large? The ones I bought were in a can (sorta gross) :lol: Although the size was perfect for him. they were like maybe 2 crickets long. Thanks for the feedback.

The poster kcarello left a great article up. Much more informative than most one-sided arguments. Makes me think twice about sand anyway.

Hi guys, Did my own homework - the information comes from my beardie reference book and is published by a herp society. Ill come bck to edit the post and enter the name. Grasshoppers are safe for Beardies. Obviously you should use caution with wild caught one due to possibility of pesticides...

I definetly agree about the top loader. I had one in the beginning when he was young. Front openers keep us from looking like a predator. He immediately mellowed out when I switched over to the front opening viv.

Tile is great for cleaning but ther's no grip on the tile. I hear that maintaining your beardie solely on hard, slick surfaces like that encourages malformed toe syndrome. (the toes always bent backwards)

Here's my set-up. Just wanted to share.. :) I thought in the close up you could see the carpet, but i see the glare from the window makes it difficult.

I just posted a thread similar to this. I was inquiring about a dig box. I have a 10 month old beardie who is 17 inches and has been raised on carpet. He often digs the carpet up. Now I agree that the natural environment of a beardie is not primarily sand but I question whether a sand box isn't...

@ morphmom Love your viv! I have the same cage. I love the leaf decals you've got on there. Your little guy looks so happy! :D So do his/her nails ever get caught up in the fabric? I never thought of using a different fabric. Its probably cheaper than buying the repticarpet too. Great idea -...

Anybody have any feedback on feeding these to Beardies? Cant find if they are safe on the beautiful dragon list. Thanks

Thanks a ton for the feedback! I put the sandbox in yesterday and he could give a darn..LOL, figures right?. So we'll try it for a while but it would be funny that after all of this, he is not interested in the sand after all. I have another quick question maybe you could answer. I use...

I was thinking that the superfine sand would stick to everything and make it more likely for him to eat some. I thought maybe the heavier weight and larger size of the walnut granules would be less appetizing. I also read about the superfine sand being very dusty and some folks were concerned...
