    Non-bred beardie digging and showing laying behavio

    My beardie is approximately 1 year old, give or take. I'm no expert but from looking at sexing guides online I think she's a female. For the past few days she's been absolutely frantic, running all over the enclosure, climbing and scratching at the glass, digging and shredding the paper...

    New tile, now beardie hasn't eaten for 6 days. Help!

    My beardie is around 6 months old (give or take, the pet store wasn't sure of his age when I got him). I've had him for about 4 months and he's been healthy and eating well. I feed him dubia, collard, mustard, and turnip greens. He has UV, temperature, etc. all correct as recommended in the...

    portable heat lamp?

    I'm thinking of setting up a small, portable heat lamp for my young beardie. When I take him out of his cage to handle him, he's alert and curious for a while, then as he cools down he just gets sluggish and stays still. The temperature in my house is around 74 degrees. I'd like for him to be...

    Can I feed adult male dubia to my 9" long beardie?

    If I've understood right, the rule of thumb is not to feed anything wider than the space between the beardie's eyes, but that the food can be LONGER than this. My dubia colony is producing a lot of extra adult males (with wings) that are around 2" long but are narrower than the space between my...

    Dubia - what kind of dish for water gel?

    I've started up a dubia colony, but I'm worried that the tiny babies can't climb into my water gel dish. I'm currently using a plastic lid with very short sides as a dish. What do other people use for dishes to contain the water gel but still let the tiny babies crawl in and out?

    My beardie hates phoenix worms

    He'll eat tons of crickets, a bite or two of greens every day, but he doesn't seem to like phoenix worms at all. Anyone else experience this? I thought beardies were supposed to love them. He'll eat one every now and then if he's hungry and I offer it first. Then, after tasting that one it's...

    millipede looking things in with my crickets

    I bought some crickets from the local pet store and just found some small millipede like worms hiding inside one of the egg crate pieces. They're around half an inch long and have lots of tiny legs. Here's a pic of one: http://www.imgur.com/kt0lnBy.jpeg Any idea what they are and how they got...

    Baby Beardie shivering. Is this normal?

    My baby beardie started shaking today when I picked him up. I haven't seen him do this before. I held him on top of my hand in his tank and he stood still on my hand but his whole body, from head to tail, was shivering. It was only a little bit. More like when a person shivers from the cold...

    UVB lighting and mounting questions

    I have a 36x18x18 terrarium, currently a reptisun 10 24" bulb on top of the screen. I'd like to mount it inside, under the screen. I have a few questions as I try to figure this out: --I've seen many here recommend hanging the light with 3M Command hooks and a cheap wal-mart fixture. What...

    had a scare today

    I noticed what looked like blood on the side of my baby beardie's mouth and chin. I was freaking out for a bit, then realized that he had finally eaten a piece of strawberry from the fruit and veg assortment I've been giving him each day. Its just dried strawberry juice staining around his...

    air temp vs surface temp

    I'm a new owner with a baby beardie. I've set up a 36"x18" terrarium that is 18" tall. Due to the height I'm having trouble getting the temp high enough. I have a long fluorescent uvb light, a 150 watt spotlight, and a 100watt spotlight on the top screen. My house air temp stays around 70 f...

    Black baby beardie at pet store. Cause for concern?

    I'm getting a bearded dragon for my son (ok, and myself!) and have found a local mom and pop pet shop with baby beardies. There are 5 babies (around 6 inches long) in the enclosure together and they all look and act healthy as far as I can tell. The enclosure is clean, is the right temp and...

    Combination hood for fluorescent UVB and basking light

    Does something like this exist? I'm setting up the habitat for the new Dragon I'm getting. It's a terrarium with a metal screen top. I want to use a reptisun 10.0 tube across the whole enclosure, plus a basking light on one end. It seems that my only option is a plastic hood for the tube...

    Should I get this 3 month old beardie or a baby?

    I've found a 3 month old beardie at a local mom-and-pop pet shop that I really like. It seems healthy to my untrained eye -- clear eyes, clean, no obvious injuries. It was calm, yet active and curious. Walked up to the glass when I approached the cage and moved it's head to watch me wherever...
