It's the middle of the night here. 1:20 AM. Paco has long been asleep, but I am a bit of a night owl. Suddenly I heard him burst out from under his log, and he is running around like crazy and doing some glass surfing. He's never done this before. He doesn't have a night time heat emitter or...

It's been awhile since I posted, but my beardie is doing good! He's a big boy, about 19 or 20 inches long and loves to eat. I am moving into a new apartment for college and my parents bought me a nice new tank for Paco. It's the National Geographic Reptile Sanctuary, with the front-opening...

I tried posting this in Enclosures a couple weeks back and haven't gotten any replies... it's a little urgent though because I was wanting to do it this weekend, so I figured I'd try. I am putting in excavator clay in Paco's tank, and it needs approx. 24 hours to dry. I have the tank Paco came...

I'm going to be putting in Excavator Clay in Paco's tank, which takes about 24 hours to dry. I still have the tank I got him in, which is smaller than his 40 gallon. Would he be okay in this small, maybe 30 gallon at best, tall terrarium for that amount of time while I let the clay dry?? Dont...

Recently got 25 pounds of the stuff for my 40 gallon tank as a Christmas present. I'm hoping to make a cool and natural looking enclosure. Plus, I've heard the stuff will keep my beardie's nails in check, because I really hate trimming them. Problem is, I'm not sure I will have enough and need...

I was shaking some crickets from the little PetSmart container into his tank for him to chase and one of those green cubes meant to feed the crickets fell out. He ran up and ate it before I could grab it. It was only a little bit. Will he be okay? What is even in that crap??? Worried. :C

For the holidays I hope to get something for both me and Paco; A nicer terrarium. His current one is a pretty basic 40 gallon breeder from PetSmart with a sliding screen lid. The bare minimum, but I was buying it along with most of the lighting and decor all by myself at 16 at the time. Thank...

I've missed the last couple cricket feedings because of my busy schedule all this week, so I was going to make sure to do it today. He's been hiding a lot more though. I just got home and was about to feed them, and he's hiding and under his little blanket. Should I just leave him alone still...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAsg2FzOong It looks like it flipped over all on it's own. Is this some form of submission? Did it actually want a belly rub???? I want to believe it did. Haha. x3 I don't see how it would be a way to defend itself because the belly is a vulnerable place... Isn't...

There's tons of dandelions in my yard right now and PAco loves them. (I'm very careful about pesticides.) There's also those small, purple flowers that grow in yards a lot... if you know what I'm talking about. I think they're violets? I'm not a plant person at all. Haha. Anyway, can I feed...

I noticed that this morning, when I was waking Paco up, he had a darker patch over his left eye towards the middle of his head. Here's a picture I took when he woke up this morning: Doesn't seem to be causing him any discomfort, and it fades after he's awake and moving. So I don't know what...

I'll be feeding him about 30 crickets a week since he's an adult and I will be dusting them with the Rep-Cal Calcium with Vitamin d3 each time. I also bought the Rep-cal multivitamin. How often should I use that?

Since I switched off pellets and now am using greens and veggies, should I sprinkle some calcium and or vitamin d3 on the greens a few times a week? If so, how often? I dust the crickets in calcium, how often should I dust them with the vitamin d3?

I took Paco to the vet yesterday for the first time, I knew I should get a whole vet thing set up for him. She looked him over and saw this spot on his belly that was colored differently than the rest that he had when I first got him. She said it might be a hernia but it didn't seem like it...

Paco just loves mangoes! Gave him to them today for a little treat and he's gobbling them up over in his cage. I'll try and get a picture, but of course he's paused right as I was getting my phone ready and is just sitting there. Guess he's full. :banghead: He was so cute and hand a bit of...

Never seen him act like this before. I have taken him outside before and he always seemed to love it. He was nervous the first couple of times of course but he seems to have gotten used to it. Today, about 20 minutes ago, the dog was put outside since mother was cleaning. I put Paco on my window...

Finally have a good enough camera to get photos with! My aunt, a photographer, will also be coming soon to take photos of his with her professional camera, she loves how photogenic he is. xD This is probably my favorite picture I have gotten of him so far, so it's good to start with.

It's sort of embarrassing posting this... It makes me feel a bit untidy and messy... But yesterday I had gone to get Paco out, there are fruit flies IN his cage. There are only about 3 at most I've seen, so it's not a huge infestation or anything. But still, I don't want him to eat them, and...

So I think Paco might be going in to brumation. He's been hiding more and pooping less. I'm really nervous. I've read up on it so I think I know what to do. I have one question; How often should I wake him up and give him water? How should I give him the water? Sometimes he drinks when he is in...

I got Paco out for a little bit just now and he's began snuggling into his usual spot where he sleeps. The thing is that I don't get him out and put him to bet for at least another hour... Should I just let him go to bed now or keep him under his lights a little longer? I woke him up and turned...
