I have a nearly 11 month old male German giant / Sandfire cross. I will have the pleasure of picking up his lovely mail order bride on June 1St. She is a two month old citrus tiger leatherback het for trans het hypo. Could some explain the het trans hypo portion to me? Anyone else set up a...

Hi everyone. I've bred dragons before many years ago, but they were normal colored dragons. Now I have a gorgeous male that has a german giant father and a sandfire mother named Zydrunas. When fully lit up he is a very vivid dark to light orange. I would like to breed him, but don't know much...

Hi. My buddy Zydrunas is 8 months old today. Up until recently he was a great eater, just about constantly shedding. I have a dubia colony but it's only a couple months old and not ready to feed from yet. Previously I had been getting my crickets shipped from Flukers with no problems. I just...

After being unable to maintain proper temps for my dubia colony, I am going to begin using a ceramic heat emitter/dome fixture warm things up. Of the several wattage/sizes available, which one is correct? I have a 27 gallon rubbermaid bin. Thanks!

I got my shipment of roaches yesterday from Lance, only one small juvenile didn't make it, the rest were in perfect condition. So, after doing my online reading I had their 27 gallon tote bin ready, 12 X 12 egg crates etc. I used a drill to make holes in the lid for ventilation, so that should...

Despite being completely grossed out but unable to deny the benefits any longer, I will be getting my new dubia colony from Lance this week. I already have the 27 gallon opaque bin with the rececessed bottom where I attached an undertank heater, fresh batch of water crystals, a pile of roach...

So far I have been ordering my crickets from Flukers, with absolutely no complaints. Wanting to add some nutritional variety, I decided to order some phoenix and small super worms for Ellie. Mulberry Farms came recommended and carries all the varieties I wanted to try in addition to the staple...

In our home, naming things generally comes under my kingdom, our vehicles have names, our favorite fishing rods have names, so does my shotgun, even my big Kitchensaid stand mixer is named Betty White. So, I would *love* to hear how all those precious beardies out there got their names! My...

As you may have read in some of my other posts, until I get the correct lighting on Monday, Chevelle's only means of UVB has been daily sunbathing outside for an hour or two. In an effort to get her to eat enough, I have been hand feeding her. She has shown absolutely no interest in chasing...

Just curious, where did everyone get their fixtures to hold the ReptiSun lights? I went to Home Depot and Lowes. I sure did get strange looks when I told them it was for a lizard cage. Oh well... Even with help, I was unable to find a 24" T8 fixture. Home Depot said that a T8 doesn't come in...

My little Chevelle, formally Nova until she revealed herself... usually poops once a day. Until my new light comes in on Monday, Tuesday at the latest, I have been taking her outside in the sun for at least an hour a day. Without fail, she will go to her usual corner within ten minutes and...

Being still incredibly p****d about the bearded dragon reptihabitat sold at Petsmart, I went on their site and wrote a long, detailed, informative, strictly factual rather than opinionated, review of said product. First off, I stressed the importance of finding "an online discussion forum...

I used to have beardies many years ago, and I another one now that my home has room for the proper size tank. Back then I had 4, a breeding pair and some of the babies I couldn't part with. I had the correct lighting then, but made the huge mistake of not finding this board in time, and...

I live in NW San Antonio, near Sea World and would really enjoy making some new beardie friends either in San Antonio or any drive of less that 2 hours, in the surrounding areas including Austin. If you're out there, feel free to PM me. Thanks, Dawn

My little Nova, who may need a name change... was born on July 3rd. I purchased him on September 15th. At that time the breeder checked and said "oh, it's a boy" as if he were pretty certain. Today I received an email from the breeder saying I should be probably be able to tell by now if it...

During one of my many several-hour-sessions of reading this board, I was searching for a way to hang the new bulb and fixture in my baby's current tank, but also something I could use when he quickly outgrows the 20L and moves up to the 40 I have waiting. I found a simple yet perfectly...

Not sure if this topic belongs in health, or general... I purchased my baby from South Texas Dragons at a recent reptile expo, and was told he was a german giant/sandfire cross. Of his siblings, he was about mid range in size as compared to the rest of them. It was that unique stripe of his...

I did a site search for T8, but didn't really find my answer. Anyway, what started as a thread on health, became a thread on the correct lighting. Had I found this board *prior* to getting Nova, I would have been much better prepared for his introduction to the family. I LOVE this board...

I mistakenly thought I knew enough to be a good mommy to Nova. I wish I'd found this board prior to getting him. I unfortunately got one of those coil lights, now I definitely know better and have since stopped using it. I was frustrated and saddened by his persistent stress spots, now I...

I am severely computer challenged. I finally made a cool avatar pic, after much frustration and the overwhelming urge to punt the laptop.... lol Anyway, when I try to choose file for the avatar pic, it only gives me the option of choosing from the albums on my computer. I can't figure out how...
