I know this is a topic discussed ad nausuem, but I'm not finding the solutions that will work for me. Eri's light fell, so for now, it's sitting on top of the tank and I need that to change ASAP. I have a linear tube set up for an Exo Terra tank using a metal "under cabinet" ballast. Because the...

Looking for ideas on pre-prepared food for days when I don't have greens and bugs on hand, or when I need something quick to pop in the tanks on busy days. This isn't a daily food, but I do need something I can use at least once a week. I've been using RepCal pellets, but the dragons seem to not...

Hi, I bought my first MVB, an ExoTerra SolarGlo, about 8 months ago. I only bought one to test it out for Striker's tank before making the full switch for both my tanks. I've noticed recently that the MVB isn't putting out much heat anymore. The ballast is still hot to the touch (but cool enough...

Striker, my 4yo female, has had diarrhea for exactly a week now. Mostly it's mushy with lots of liquid, but occasionally it has been mostly liquid with very little solid poop. It happens 2-3 times a day, when usually she poops every 2 days or so (and almost always does it in the bath). She's...

I've recently changed my dragons' diets. They had been getting pellets as opposed to live prey, and greens daily. I'm waiting on an order of Phoenix worms, due to arrive Tuesday. I've run out of pellets, so their diet the past week has been mostly collard greens, shredded carrot, prickly pear...

My dragons (Striker 3yrs and Eri 2.5yrs) haven't had insects as a staple in about a year. They've been eating lots and lots of greens and RepCal pellets daily and calcium/vitamin supplements three times/week (on greens or mixed into butternut squash baby food). In addition, I've been...

I've found a website that ships Phoenix worms in Canada (http://www.supercricket.ca/phoenix_worms.html) I have two adult dragons that have never had anything but crickets, greens, and the occasional hornworm (Striker had Butter worms once). I am so tired of crickets. The noise, the stink, the...

Just wanting to compile a list of important questions to ask ER posters in a nice, neat manner. I think there is a list someplace, but I can never find it, and I certainly can't remember everything to ask when trying to assess an issue. This is a rudimentary compilation that I have so far...

My female (Striker, 2yrs) has always been a digger. When I first got her at 8mos she had sand in her tank. She loved it! She was constantly digging around, and I even worried that she might have been gravid. No eggs as yet, though. I've always fed them outside of their tanks in Rubbermaids, so I...

Those of you who have followed my Striker and Eri thread, you already know lots about my babies. For those who haven't, I have two dragons, Striker, a two-year old female, and Eri, a year and a half old male. Eri has had a history of aggression, but seems to be finally growing out of it. I have...

Anyone in Vancouver BC area, there's a spring show happening in May. I've never been to one before, so I'm definitely looking forward to it!! Link to the info page: http://bcreptileclub.ca/events/

Hi, I've been away from here a while, and in that time, my 'Beardie Tales' thread on my babies Striker and Eri has become locked. Is there a way to unlock it? Thanks!! :)

First: In Canada, most specifically Vancouver, BC area, where can one buy a ReptiSun in a store, not online? Second: Since it is not at all possible for me to make any online purchases, is there a "second best"? I'd been using ReptiGlo, planning to switch as soon as their six-months was up, as...

Hey, I'm hoping to compile a list of reputable, solid references for Beardie Newbies. I've already included the care sheet from this site, as well as the UV intro, and the nutrition guide from Beautiful Dragons. I would love it if you guys could post links that have helped you prepare and care...

Striker's been in a state of "semi-brumation" for a few months now. She spends most of her time in her hide scratching and sleeping. She has still eaten, basked, bathed and pooped normally. She's never been intensely active since I've ha her, a few minutes of glass dancing, then resigns herself...

Hey, I'd like to find a pattern for a beardie hammock or similar sleeping structure for my babies. I can't afford to buy one of those ferret beds, but something of similar construction would be good... Does anyone have a pattern or idea they could link me?

Paying through the nose for collard, mustard, and dandelion greens, which, in my area are only available at the hoity-toity organic market...they are sold by the bunch, and regardless of whether I only chop half of the mix up ahead of time or pre-cut it all, by the end of the week I'm left with...

Do your dragons (and other pets) have a structured daily schedule? If so, I'm curious how we all manage to keep up with all the responsibilities of caring for our scaley (and furry) babies. My tank lights are on timers; 7am on, 9pm off. I have reminders on my phone for "Beardie Breakfast" at...

Hey there. A friend of mine has offered to build my beardies new enclosures. We've adapted some online designs and come up with our own twists... But I'm stuck on what I should do for the lighting/heating. The tank dimensions would be 5 feet long, 3 feet tall, and 2 feet deep. I plan on having...

Hey, about an hour ago when I was putting Striker back in her tank, she started acting strangely. She kept trying to crawl behind her fountain (not running at the moment), and rubbing her face on the foam background. At first I thought maybe she was just doing her normal pre-shed routine, until...
