Hi guys! Just a quick question... Is cinnamon basil safe for beardies to eat? I let Ridley out in my garden to eat in a patch of greens and herbs I grow. There are a lot of loose leaf veggies there, and I like to give him the choice of what to eat and taste. There are greens like dandelion...

What do you think would be a reasonable price (not including shipping) for an established breeding colony of 1,000 dubia? What about just 1k mixed nymphs (mostly on the larger side)?

I wanted to get new tile for the bottom of my dragon's tank, but I'm curious as to where everyone else is getting theirs cut? Home Depot, Menards and Lowe's don't offer that service, and I don't have a wet saw available to do it myself. Help?

I've never posted pics of any of my tanks. I don't see many people with the standard 40g breeder though, so I thought I'd post mine. XD I straightened Ridley's cage out this morning though while he was napping under the couch ( :roll: ) so now is as good a time as any. Just a regular 40g...

Pics are a few months old, but Ridley always gets excited when I clean the roaches out. Actually, he gets excited any time I go into the roach closet. >.> "What is that?" "Yes, that, I would like it." "Give it to me now human!"

Ridley is a good eater. Always has been. He's open to trying new foods, insect or veggie, though he is a bit spoiled since I hand feed him. >.> His new absolute favorite thing? Strawberries! He lost his mind for strawberries this year. Given the choice between a strawberry slice and a fat...

I planted a bunch of clover recently, and it's all starting to bud. :D I have more then enough to share with my dragon, but do they eat the flowers or the leaves...or both? He doesn't like dandelion flowers at all, but liked the greens, so it would be nice if he'd eat the clover flowers for a...

Hey all, just some opinions and info about treating for coccidia. I have a pretty awesome vet that I've been seeing for years. I get 15% off office visits, most treatment, and some meds as long as I bring my animals in regularly for wellness checks. They are even awesome enough to send me a...

Ridley came out of brumation a few weeks ago - and we are happy to have our active and very hungry dragon back! I just had some questions about a change in bahavior. 1) Poops. He used to poo every day, sometimes every other day. Now he is pooping every 3-4 days only. He's always pooped in...

I was cleaning out my breeding bin and pulling the tiny nymphs yesterday, and I found 20 or so superworms in there, and adult 5-6 beetles. o.0 I knocked over the bowl I keep my supers in a while ago, and I didn't realize that some fell into the roach bin. I was surprised to see them all...

I just switched my bulb to a Mega-Ray 100 watt Self-Ballasted Flood UVB lamp, and the temps don't seem to be where I want them. 12 inches from my basking spot (wood) is reading 95, and on the floor (slate, approx 6-7in lower then the top of the basking spot) is only 81-83. For reference, my...

Edited: Figured it out on my own since no one knew. :)

I'd like to sell off some of my dubia, but I've never shipped them in winter weather before. I assume that I need to insulate the boxes (I was thinking of doing two boxes, with styrofoam in between the two) but I'm worried about them getting enough air. Also, what kind of time frame do they...

I was wondering at what age do sub adults transition to more adult behaviors? Ridley is about 6-7 mos old (we've had him for almost 4 mos), 17.25 in, and is a most likely female (though he started out as a boy so that's what we call him for some odd reason... >.>). For the past three or so...

After eating today, I noticed that RIdley's lower neck/beard area was distended a bit. He didn't eat hardly any salad this morning and gorged in insects (crickets and supers) late this evening instead. He didn't eat much more then normal, but he ate super fast, snapping up multiple crickets at...

Hey, just a few quick questions. With the heat wave happening in parts of the US, my cricket shipment has been delayed and I've had to change up Ridley's diet a bit. He's great at eating his greens (this week is collard, endive, and cilantro with yellow squash), and he's getting crickets from...

I think I've read too much on this forum and now have made myself paranoid. :( Ridley has a lot of yellowish color under his chin and around his neck. It's like a greenish-yellow color, it was faint at first, but has gotten to it's present color over the past few weeks. Could this be...

Last time Ridley shed, there was a discolored patch on the tip of his nose. I didn't know if it was retained shed, or what, but it was just a little funny looking. It didn't bother him or look overly odd, so I just left it. This was about two weeks ago. Yesterday in his bath he scratched his...

I got a special with my crickets this month, I got 150 dubias to try for $5 including S/H. I had dubias before, and my dragon was pretty "meh" about them, but I figured that since3 he's a bit older and eating a more varied diet that I would try again. All the roaches I got are tiny (about as...

I keep reading about how often people's beardies get parasites. Does anyone preemptively "worm" their dragons? Why or why not would this be a good idea? When I got Ridley he had a check up and a fecal float done and was clean, but is it just a matter of time before he gets worms? o.o
