I found this site to be pretty helpful when choosing produce for my beardie. There was an even better one but I think that it got taken down or something. (http://blackninjakitty.com/herps/care/troystuttlegreeniglist.htm) I didn't even know what mustard or collard greens were until I got Kantus...

I'll for sure check online for some cheaper reptisun bulbs. The store recommended reptisun but I figured it was because they were $50 instead of the $20 ones on the other rack. Yeah. It's a shame that pet stores are allowed to sell pets that they know nothing about. I read a couple of books on...

I think the temps are fine. They get around 101 on the basking spot. At first, I couldn't get the probe to set right on top of the rock so it was only reading around 95. I'll see about getting a reptisun next payday.

I secured the probe on her basking spot and it's heats up around 101 now. I found the box for the UVB bulb and it's a Zilla Desrt Series 50, T8 Fluorescent Bulb, full spectrum bulb 15 watt. On the side it says it's ideal for "arid reagion dwelling reptiles: Bearded Dragins," ect. I was...

From what I understand, when you buy a beardie, there is always a risk of disease or parasites if they were housed with other beardies. Overall, just pick one out that seems to be very responsive and alert. Try and make sure it's eating. You always want to find one that is well kept as well. I...

Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I got a new probe and it's right around 94.3. She has been eating ever sense my last post and she seems to be going after her food more. Before she would only eat the crickets that would walk past her but she would dart after super worms. She would only eat...

I had a dial thermometer but it broke. I planned on getting another this payday. II'm using a fluorescent tube with a white basking light. She is 16 inches long from head to tail. She isn't eating crickets all to much so I bought her super worms and she literally jumped at the chance of eating...

Kantus, my 8 month old, isn't acting right. Shes active and will eat her greens but not many crickets. She will go inside her log and dig around in the sand and then will go back to (what I call) her pride rock. I figured she likes her pride rock so much because it was in her old cage so it's...

My step dad and I made a vivarium for Kantus out of plywood. We mounted the light fixture in the back and I think that the lights might be heating the wood up and causing it to smell. Do you have any suggestions that might fix this problem and make me feel a little more comfortable about leaving...

That is very true. Try paying them. :P $1 every time they clean out the poo. I'm using paper towels in my temp cage while we build the new one. It makes clean up so easy! It's like changing a diaper.

Lol captive beardies are so spoiled. So much that seeing their own poop stresses them out. :P

Thanks for the advice. I'll have to wait until I put her in her new cage. That way she will have more room. And I gave her a bath and she returned to normal color. Maybe she was just trying to get extra uvbs or maybe she was cold.

I reached my hand into my beardies cage to pick her up and she showed her teeth and puffed her beard at me. This is the first time she's ever done that to me. She sometimes will puff her beard a little and then calm down. An hour later, her pigment got really dark. I figured it was because she...

Craigslist is my best friend. I bought my beardie from an overstocked breeder for $25. I found someone selling a 20 gallon cage with screen top, double dome light with basking bulb and red light, water dish, basking rock, electric heat rock, sand for $40. (I don't use the red light, electric...

At the pet store closest to my house, the product manager has beardies at this house that he keeps together. All adults, two females, two males (I think) and he said he has never had any problems what so ever. On the other hand, the beardie breeder at the reptile show strongly advised against...

How can a beardie be ugly? I saw a rescue beardie a the pet store with an under bite and calcium def. Be was still a little cutie. X3 When your friends are over and you make your friends wash their hands before and after they hold your beardie. When you spend most of your time and money...

My beardie is only 10" long but I want to build her a cooler looking Viv. What I've sketched out is 4' long, 18.5" tall, 18.5" wide. 1) Glass or Plexiglass? 2) Would the decisions be large large enough for an adult bearded dragon, maybe two (if I'm lucky enough for them to get along)? 3) I...

And regarding sharing crickets with other reptile owners, I see posts on craigslist now and again of people selling crickets, roaches, or superworms cheap because their beardie lost interest in one or the other. You could always post an ad seeing if anyone is interested in cheap crickets. Also...

I ordered 1000 crickets about a month ago and I still have hundreds left even though a bunch died off. I got my crickets from www.armstrongcrickets.com. They are the cheapest crickets I have found (including shipping). They came with three things of egg carton pallets. I think they also sell...
