Our bearded dragon, Caesar is now 13.5 inches long, head to tail tip. He is growing really really fast. We brought him home in mid-may and we think he was about 6 weeks old when we bought him from the petstore. I guess this would put him somewhere around 5 months. Right now he is eating about...

We brought a baby dragon home on May 18th. He weighed in at a whopping 9.5 grams. Just weighed him again today and he was 39.5. With the exception of the few times he has shed he eats like a monster (dubia, but not greens)...

Does anyone have an good ideas to share on cleaning the Dubia bin? I don't mean separating sizes, but on how to separate the dubia from all the exoskeletons.

I've been raising Dubia for almost a year now and I've just started to recently notice that right after the shed the Dubia are very suseptible to getting attached by the herd. I've noticed it in 5-6 times in the last few weeks. I could have been happening all along, but I've actually seen it...

I now have the uvb inside the enclosure and it's about 10-12 inches from the dragons basking site. Is this still to close? He is still keeping one I closed almost all of the time..starting doing it yesterday afternoon and has continued today?

Starting sometime last night our little bearded dragon (approx 6-7 weeks old) started closing one eye. He will open every now and then and it looks fine, but he will not keep it opened. This morning when we offered him some dubia roaches he didn't seem interested, but he ate ok yesterday. I've...

We got our dragon a week ago today. First few days he only ate a few (10-15) baby dubia a day. The 3rd day we had him he completely shed, does this cause this not to eat as much? Anyway, this morning he chomped down on about 15 baby dubia for breakfast. Just a few minutes ago ago he ate 37! Is...

My son and I finally took the final step and brought the bearded dragon home today. Placed him in his new enclosure and offered him some green veggies. After a little exploring he gave them a taste for a couple of minutes before deciding to run around some more. He appears very active after just...

The time has come and I'm looking for any advice that any 'veteran' beardie owner wants to share. I've been breading my own dubia roaches for 9 months. Started with a colony of about 800 (various sizes include 40 or so adults. I now have about 150 breeding females and a few thousand of various...

I have a 30 x 12 x 12 glass enclosure for a baby dragon I hope to get soon. I bought a 24 inch under the counter enclosure at walmart to use with the UVB reptisun 10.0 bulb. Is it ok to mount this fixture inside the enclosure with it being only a 30 x 12 x 12?

I'm ready to get our first bearded dragon...almost. I've breeding Dubia Roaches for almost a year now in anticipation of finally getting the first Dragon. Now my question(s) are what size enclosure I should be. I really like the looks of the Exo Terra because of how they open up in the front...

On August the 15th I purchased an xlarge order of Dubia (800 small, 150 medium, 25 large). I've kept them fed and watered and pretty much left them alone other than that. Today, I did a complete sift through. I counted out 175 adult females, at least what I'm pretty sure are females. I had many...

A few months back I bought some meal worms to start breeding in anticipation of getting a Gecko. After a lot a research my son and I have determined that a Bearded Dragon would make a much better pet than the Gecko (at least for us). My question is can a baby bearded dragon eat baby mealworms in...

I just got my order of Dubia Roaches a few days ago and started the colony off in a 32 gallon bin (800 small/130 juv and adults). Based on some good advice from this forum it was suggested that I go with a bin much smaller, say an 18 gallon. I have prepared the new 18 gallon. 1. Cut a 5x8 inch...

Hello everyone! I'm new so if I'm posting in the wrong forum or if this question has been asked a thousand times I apologize in advance. I just bought a colony of Dubia Roaches for the Bearded Dragon that my son and I are going to be purchasing in the new future. I did a lot of research and it...
